Hi Christine,
Thanks so much for getting back to me. I've got a week to go until I should be on my period so I'll let you know. Fingers crossed. This whole thing has freaked me out a bit. I'm 26 now and I was originally waiting for marriage to start having sex, then slept with my long term boyfriend last year and then broke up with him. This year has been a bit head mental for me and the fact that I've since slept with two guys is really bothering me. I've always (stupidly) thought of STD's as this distant problem that doesn't really concern me as I had chosen to wait. Unfortunately I didn't really re-think that before sleeping with these two guys. (My long term boyfriend was my first and he had been checked) The second I always used a condom with (except one time where we started but stopped after literally 2 seconds and got a condom) but the third I didn't and am now really freaking out. He pulled out but I know how stupidly unreliable that is - especially regarding STD's. I've been reading up about STD's and HIV and I feel like I'm going to have a heart attack! I'm sorry to hijack your wall as I know this is supposed to be about pregnancy and the pill but . . . I'm freaking out. Again! From what I can gather I need to wait 3 weeks and then have STD checks done and then 3 months to have a HIV check done and then have another HIV check done in 6 months. Is this right and do you think I'm high risk? I totally know you can't possibly know that but I think I'm just looking for some reassurance while I wait 3 WHOLE MONTHS :( Can't believe I've put myself in such a stupid position.
