unprotected sex

The most likely possibility is that what you’re seeing coming out of your vagina is simply semen: the sexual fluid which carries sperm. The vagina isn’t a bottomless pit: it ends with the cervix, the base of the uterus. The opening to the cervix – called the os – is incredibly small. It can dilate…

If he refuses to change his mind, then this isn’t someone to marry, or even stay with anymore. Legally and emotionally tying yourself to someone who doesn’t give you a voice both in the kind of sex you have and when you become pregnant is legally and emotionally tying yourself to a kind of sexual…

Yes. Please understand that becoming pregnant isn’t about how long someone lasts, if someone is having sex for the first time, if someone reaches orgasm or not. There is ALWAYS a risk of pregnancy if a man and a woman have vaginal intercourse, and a high risk if during that intercourse the male…

Understand that most sexually transmitted infections and diseases are asymptomatic. In other words, most often do not show symptoms, or symptoms any of us could easily notice. Some do, sometimes, and some do, but not until a person has had the infection for quite some time. Please also understand…

It has NEVER been safe to try and terminate a pregnancy with a wire hanger, for crying out loud. PLEASE hear that. Abortions with wire hangers are remnants of the horror stories – true ones, sadly – from the days when abortion was illegal. Many women had to have backalley abortions at high cost…

Generally speaking, when you start missing pills in the middle of a cycle (especially if you miss lots of pills) some weirdness with your withdrawl bleed is to be expected. By not having those extra hormones in your body, it’s impossible to guess what was going on with your natural hormone levels…

If it seems just like your period normally does – with the same level of flow, for instance – then it is very unlikely you are pregnant. Rarely, a test will show what is called a “chemical” pregnancy, especially when tests are taken on the early side. In other words, it can test positive when an…
