Hi,
I'm 17-years-old and I had intercourse for the very first time today with my boyfriend...and yes, we did used a condom. Now, about 3 hours after we had sex, I feel gassy, a crampy and a little bloated. The gass is actually very painful at times. Is this normal? As for my cycle, incase thats what is causing my discomfort, its about 32 or 33 days and I'm on day 25 or 26.
Please help.
Thanks!

Hey, I'm 15 years old and I had sex with my boyfriend for he first time last night, I'm a little worried because the sex was unprotected, he did not cum inside me but I'm still worried, I woke up this morning with pain in my stomach and gas, I don't know what to do, I can't take a pregnancy test because I have no way of getting one, what do I do!?

Hello Anon101,

When is your next period due to start? How long is your menstrual cycle? Do you know when you are or were due to ovulate?

If he didn't ejaculate inside of you, there is a good chance you did not become pregnant.

If you are not due to ovulated in the next five days, and did not ovulate yesterday, there is a better chance that you were not at any risk for becoming pregnant.

Anxiety and worrying are probably the reason you have stomach pain and feel bloated.

Hello dona,

The spotting may have been implantation bleeding. When is your next period due to start?

You could take an early response pregnancy test as early as five days before your period is due to start.

Hello,

I am on birth control and I took it two hours early on the same night that I had unprotected sex. Should I take emergency contraception since I didn't take the pill at my normal time?

Hello Anonymous,

Absolutely not. You were protected by the birth control pill.

Hello Anonymous,

A fever is a symptom usually associated with an infection or virus.

You will know if the i-pill prevented a pregnancy once she has bleeding, If she does not have any bleeding within three weeks of taking the pill, she needs to test for pregnancy.

Emergency contraceptives are intended to be used in an emergency situation, and not as regular birth control.

Please contact her physician because of the high temperature and gassy feeling in her stomach.

Hey I'm kinda freaking out because about a week ago and my guy was fingering me and had his thing ribbing near that area but more towards my butt. There was no penetration and know it might be in my head but, I've been feeling like I'm getting fat in my stomach area or bloated and kinda nauseous here and there. I'm still a virgin too.
