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!

I think so but I think it's 50/50 that's why I'm scared. Her lower abdomen grows a bit too but why? Is it related to eating? Oh when she took the test it was Aug. 4 and she felt the bloating Jul. 28 and last time we had inter course was a day after her period which is Jul. 21!

Hi, i had sex with my boyfriend about a week ago and we had both protected and unprotected sex but he didn't come inside me. Then about 2 days later i started getting a bubbly and gas feeling with a little pain. I don't start my period until next week. Should i be worried?

Hello Anonymous,

The biggest concern would be did you become pregnant during unprotected intercourse. Wait and see if the bloating and slight pain go away, and if your period is not late.

I spent the night with my boyfriend last night and he wanted me to have sex with me and didn't want to use a condom because he only said he will try to have a little bit of sex. I didn't really like it because it hurt so bad and he could only fit the head in we stopped trying immediatley. He then tried to just run the tip of his penis and cum on the outside of my vagina and told him no. When I woke up I felt a this morning i felt this weird gassy feeling where there are usually cramps and it feels like somethings moving inside me. I told him to get me plan step B just in case even though he couldn't even manage to go in half way inside me with out me crying out in pain. Its been a day since we tried to have sex and I still feel this sensation. I'm terrified. Am I pregnant?! Help please. I'm begging you

Hello Anonymous,

No, you did not become pregnant. This sensation is most likely anxiety over the concern about becoming pregnant.

Pregnancy?
I had sex with my gf on Thursday and Friday. Shes a virgin. We went for quite lot of rounds. But I always managed to change to new condoms after I come while masturbated. Furthermore, I didn't dare to come inside of her at all. And I make sure the condom doesn't have hole as well.

After sex, she had constipation during the night and the next day as well. She keeps burping and feeling a bit bloated.
have a bowel movement, but she caught a flu due to sleeping around 5am last night.

Is this mere coincidence or is she already pregnant?

Hello Anonymous,

The way to know if she is pregnant is to wait for her next period to start. If it is late by at least seven days, and she is normally regular, she can then test. For the most accurate result, she tests in the morning and uses the first urine of the day.

Constipation, burping and bloating are not relevant to being pregnant.

Hello Anonymous,

How you are feeling might have no connection to having sex. You may have picked up a virus.
