Please Help. Very Scared. Posted: 08-09-07 22:21pm
Ok to begin with, I would like to say that
i DO have a very serious anxiety
disorder.
My girlfriend has been on the Pill for
almost 5 years now. I have only been with
her for a year tho. We do have sex a lot
but i never ejaculate inside of her for
fear of getting her pregnant. I ALWAYS
worry she is pregnant. No matter what
happens. But this time, we had sex while
she was on her period. Now she is having
stomach issues ( bad bowl movements, she
is tired a good bit ( we just started
school back by the way and are not used to
getting up at 5:30 ), she feels like
she is going to faint sometimes and is
often nasueated at her stomach. She has
had these symptoms before and they just
started again after the time we had sex.
She is very good about her medicine except
she took 1 pill the week after she got off
her period, late ,and i was not informed
and we still had sex. Also she was on an
antibiotic. But we have talked to her
gynocologist, her doctor, her pharmicist,
and even her mom ( cause moms know best )
and they all said everything should be
fine. But i am worried sick and throwing
up non stop because of it. And no, she
never had any breakthrough bleeding while
on the antibiotic. And the doctor said
that it shows her BC was working A ok. But
i am sooooooooo freaked out. She is
currently being tested for Diabetes which
she has been tested MANY times in the past
before... and the doctors think she is
hypoglosemic ( please excuse spelling ).
What should i do? Im so scared. I always
have been because i am not sure how
effective BC is, and whether or not i
should trust it. Do i need to worry ABout
this situation? or what should i do?
ALSO i would like to add that she does not
FEEL like she is pregnant... because she
says girls can tell things about their
bodies like that...
Please help.

First of all, it is ok to worry and to
wonder! :] You are a good BF and you want
to make sure everything is ok with your
GF.
I am the same way, my BF is opposite, more
like your GF, and never really worries and
thinks everything is always ok.
But to relieve your mind, Birth Control is
about 98% percent affective if used
correctly.
Missing 1 pill, not good, but not tragic.
In the manual it says if you miss one pill
you can have sex without backup. Although,
backup is always good anytime!
Sex while on Periods is somewhat of a
backup with Birth control. A woman rarely
gets pregnant while on her period. It can
happen, but a woman on Birth Control, and
on her Period, is pretty darn near safe.
Anyways, if your on Birth Control its just
the egg cleaning out, not really a real
period.
Now the Antibiotic bit, yes those do mess
with the pills. But since she had no side
effects, which MOST of the time you do
have, I'm sure there is nothing to worry
about.
Being tired, can come from stress,
different eating habbits, worry,
ANYTHING!
I think school is a good excuse :].
Hey, maybe to ease your mind, you can use
backup.
I know most who are on B/C don't want to
use condoms, but spermacide is a good one!
Its easy, maybe not as spntaneous since
certain ones need to be inserted 15 mins
prior to sex. But that and B/C, she will
be pretty darn safe.
Worry will only drive you up a while. Wait
it out, if no period comes test. Although
I'm sure it will come ;]
Good luck.
Keep me informed please! :]
