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!

Hello Anonymous,

All that you can do now is wait for your next period.

You can test about five days before it is due with an early response test. For the most accurate result, test in the morning and use the urine when you wake up and first use the bathroom.

The next day is too early to be having any early pregnancy signs.

Hi I'm 17 years old and I recently lost my virginity last weekend. My boyfriend was protected with a condom and he is 100% sure he didnt come inside of me. Right after it happened my stomach felt weird. The next day I've been feeling bloated and really gassy,like burping a whole bunch and then started feeling cramping and i been really stessing me out! Every time I look up my symptoms it says early pregancy. I've been feeling bloated/full and gassy since Saturday. My period should be coming next weekened. I'm really scared I need help !
Thanks

Hello Anonymous15167,

Try to relax because stress can cause a delay in the start of your period.

Wait and see if your period start this weekend. Stress and anxiety can also be the reason you are feeling bloated, gassy and having cramps.

Hello Anonymous,

This sounds like a gastrointestinal issue. Speak with your primary care physician or gastroenterologist, if you have one.

Hello Anonymous,

You would only be pregnant if you had unprotected intercourse since your last period. Your symptoms sound more gastrointestinal in nature and should be evaluated by a gastroenterologist or your primary care physician.
