What's Wrong With Me?

My name is kelly, and i'm 18. I have been
wondering about lots of things lately. It
started as my sex drive going down. My
boyfriend and I have been together for
about 9 months now. It seems like every
time we try to have sex it hurts and feels
rough on me. And after a while it burns
sometimes. We don't use condoms and he
pulls out (i know it's horrible, and I
told him next time we have sex he better
have a condom because I get paranoid), and
I was wondering if it is just irritation
from having sex without a condom. But
then I started getting this white
discharge every day. I know it can be
normal to have some, but it just seems
like there's more than usual. And i'm
also a week late on my period. I took 3
pregnancy tests (cuz I get really
paranoid) and they all came up negative.
I even took one this morning right when I
woke up (which is supposed to be the best
way to go) so I know that's not it.
What's wrong with me?!?

You might have a yeast infection, it would
cause the discharge and the burning
sensation, but it don't think it would
cause you to be a week late for your
period,
you could be late because you're stressed
out thinking you might be pregnant...By
the way you could still be pregnant, what
you two are practicing is not birth
control and you can get pregnant using the
withdrawal method, and sometimes it can
take time before a pregnancy test is
positive.
Go to a clinic, find out if you have a
yeast infection. If you do, once it
clears up you'll be feeling better
physically and your sex drive might just
come back on its own, and if you find that
you feel to dry during sex, use a
lubricant...That's what they're made for!
 and start using
condoms or some form of birth control, you
are playing with fire going the route you
two are.

You know what they call people who use the
withdrawal method for birth control?
"mommy and daddy"

You really need to see a doctor.You could
have something more than a yeast
infection.Left untreated some types of
infections can cause sterility and other
reproductive problems.While you're at your
doc's-see about some method of birth
control.No use making yourself nuts every
month.Good luck to you.Patty

Hippychick, if you are offended by that,
go and ask on the teen pregnancy side of
things what methods of birth control they
were using.

I'm not offended at what you meant,
because I know and i'm doing something
about it, but I just didn't like how you
worded it. But there's no reason to sit
here and argue about something stupid.

You guys might not care, but I thought i'd
share my outcome with you all.
I went to the gyno today and he said
everything looked normal and that I didn't
have a yeast infection or anything. I
think my period being late has to do with
stress... There's a lot going on in my
life right now. And I think the pain
during sex and all that is because of skin
rubbing. You'll be happy to know my
boyfriend and I are using condoms and
doing things right... Not the scary way.
And i'm starting my birth control pills on
my next period!! Yay!!! No more worry!
At least, not near as much!!!

Thanks for the update, i'm glad to hear
you got to a doctor and got it all checked
out, and congrats on the move to birth
control. And don't foget about the
lubricant, in my own experience sex is
drier with a condom than without.

Hey, just a thought, but maybe you should
try some ky jelly or something, you might
become irritated just because you are dry
down there.

First of all I have been using the
withdraw method for 9 months with my bf
and I still haven't gotten pregnant! So
no ones calling me "mommy and daddy" yet!
Any ways to my point a very similar thing
has been happening to me... I've been
feeling like my insides were bruised when
my bf put me in certain positions... Alot
of ppl have told me to see a gyn because
it's a sign of a cist. I'm not sure if
that's true yet, but you might want to go
to the doctor and get some answers!

I like astroglide lubricant-it is a
silicone base and doesn't dry out at
all!!Smooth sailing!!! also be sure to
never,ever use baby oil or vaseline as a
lubricant.The oils can cause the latex to
break down-or tear!!Patty

Hello! I'm 28 yrs old and for 3 years my
husband and I used the withdrawal method.
Then when we were ready we tried to get
pregnant and it worked on the first try.
So I think if the man does it right the
withdrawal method does work. But i'm
sure I will get many people say that its
not true. All i'm saying is this method
worked for us for 3 years. My son is 7
years old now and i'm on birth control
pills cause I want my husband to enjoy the
experiance of cuming inside me.
I used condoms before him, you would not
want to do this method with just anyone.
I was married so I wasn't worried about
std's.

Exactly.. We are engaged so I don't have
to worry about stds either. And we've
been doing the withdrawal method for 9
months as well, but just so i'm not
paranoid, i'm taking the pill and using
condoms, because since I also have
anxiety, I thought that will relieve a lot
of stress!!! Hehe, about the
discharge... I think that some is
normal... Am I right?? I mean I have
white discharge a lil bit sometimes. I
think I was just freaking out because all
those other things. The feeling of pain
when having unprotected sex I think is
just because you might just have raw skin
in there because of rubbing... Try a
condom with some lube, it's helped me a
lot!!! And your uterus might be curved
backward like my doctor told me mine is...
Instead of it being straight, it leans
back a bit, and that's perfectly fine, but
that is what could be causing certain
positions to feel uncomfortable or
painful. Good luck!
Kelly
