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,

You can stop worrying because there was never a risk for pregnancy.

Hi Anonymous,

There would have been a risk for pregnancy if semen got into your vagina when the condom ripped, and if this happened within your fertile period. The fertile period is five days before ovulation and on the day of ovulation.

Hi i have a question. I'm having weird feelings in my stomach, its like a noise inside but i'm not hungry.. i had protected sex (with condom) last august 13, which was the last day of my period.. he didn't penetrate fully and no ejaculate, but i'm still worried because 2 weeks after that, i got brown discharge lasting for 1 week, its not just drops but it occupied the whole space of the pantyliner, i test 24 days after the protected intercourse and it was negative.. im having white bumps in my nipples and areolas, i noticed that my belly is bigger than before.. but no vomiting, nausea, morning sickness, sensitivity to smell etc. but do u think am i pregnant?

Hello Anonymous,

From what you have shared, there is no strong evidence that you became pregnant, because it was protected sex and on the last day of your period.

t’s not uncommon to have some brown discharge for a few days after menstruation. That’s old blood making its exit. Since you had brown discharge, which was more than spotting, and lasted for one week, consider reaching out to your gynecologist about it.

The white bumps may be Montgomery glands, sometimes also referred to by their more technical name “areolar glands". They are small glands located on the areola of the female breast that produce an oily secretion designed to keep the nipple moisturized and protected.

Even though the glands sit right on the surface of the skin they aren’t usually visible under normal conditions. Certain hormonal triggers will cause them to bump up slightly, though. Pregnancy is one example: pregnant women often experience small raised pink or red bumps, often in a ring formation around the nipple, when the glands are stimulated. Arousal and pressure, often from tight-fitting clothes or bras, can also trigger this reaction. These bumps are usually considered very normal, and they usually subside on their own with time.

So I had unprotected sex with my girlfriend but she is on birth control plus I did not cum in her but she told me to stop due to soreness and needing to go to the bathroom. She is late her period for four days and has felt bloated the day before her period was supposed to start (5 days total), she doesn't have mood swings or cravings or throwing up just bloated and mild headaches and one side cramp. Is she pregnant? She says she doesn't feel like it at all and that it's common to miss or have a late period due to rough sex, it was her first time having real sex too.

Hii it's K again. I just want to ask.

When her lower abdomen became bloated it was after 8 days the last time we had sex. And before we had sex July 20 it was the end of her period. Then we tested the PT on August 4. Until now her lower abdomen is bloated and i think she's constipated because she's telling me she can't poop properly but she poops only few. And did I mention that the last time we had sex was no condom? And we didn't use any lubricant we kinda forced my penis inside her. But other than that, that's my only problem and not sure if she's not pregnant.

Hello K,

Stop wondering. If her period is late, she needs to take a pregnancy test.
If she is constipated and bloated, she needs to take care of that. Increase fiber in diet. Increase fluid intake. Take a laxative.
