my boyfriend and I about month ago had sex for first time in awhile. we used a condom and he did really even get to orgasm before his p***s decided it was done. Although after we noticed this opace fluid on the outside of it. not knowing whether it was from him or I and, Panicing, he and I blew up the condom trying to see if we could find a hole. we didn't notice it deflating so we let the it go. he forgot about it but I haven't. I did have my period (or I think it was my period) in november, about 2 weeks after the insodent. Normally I bleed pretty heavy for two days and cramp pretty hard, then it settles into a normal bleed before going really light and stopping. this one was really weird it was like super heavy the first day (as in I went through several pads and tampons in just a few hours) and I cramped pretty bad and then I kinda just spotted on the tampon) I did have a yeast infection the week before hand and had gotten over it the day before my period. Tonight though, I'm suffering from a bad stomache ache,nausia, cramps, and the shits. although, I am just getting over a cold, I'm wondering if these could be linked and I should be concerned that I might be pregnant or if i'm just panicking. Help Please!
thanks tons-
Kieora

The white fluid on the outside of the condom came from you. It's called discharge. All women have it. It flushes out the v****a to keep it clean and acts as a lubricant. It can be clear or white. It can be tacky, watery, or stringy like egg whites. We usually make more of it when we are in the mood, so you'll probably notice it on condoms, on your partner's finger, on sex toys, or whatever else you put in your v****a (although you might not notice it when you have your period since the blood can mix in with it and mask it).
It's normal for your period to change a bit too. The human body can't always be like clockwork. Even women who usually have very regular and predictable periods may notice changes in the length of their cycle, how heavy their period is, what symptoms they have, etc. every once in a while.
If you are spotting, you should not be using tampons. You can actually get an infection from using a higher absorbency tampon than you need. So when you're spotting, it's best to use a pantyliner.
If you're experiencing a stomachache, cramps, nausea, and diarrhea then it sounds like you're sick.
Condoms are very effective when used correctly. However, they are not 100% effective. So while it really doesn't sound like you have anything to worry about, it is possible that you are pregnant. You should certainly not be panicking. But you might want to take a pregnancy test just to make sure and put your mind at ease. A test is the only way to know for sure since the symptoms of early pregnancy are the same as the symptoms for lots of other things.
If you're getting this worried about pregnancy, you might want to reexamine whether or not you're really ready for sex. No method of birth control is 100% effective. So if you're ready for sex, you have to be ready to take that small amount of risk and have a plan of action in case of accidental pregnancy.
If you do decide you want to stay sexually active then you should probably head to a doctor and ask for some hormonal birth control to use in addition to your condoms. That won't bring your risk of pregnancy down to 0%, but it will bring it down very close to 0% if you use both methods as directed.

I've been trying to get on hormonal Birth control for awhile, however, everytime I talk to a doctor about it they prescribe me something that isn't even covered on my health insurence. so, hopefully next week will be my final appointment about it.

Have you tried an obgyn? I have bare minimum health insurance, but when my obgyn prescribes BC to me it is always completely free, and the prescription lasts a year. You may just have to get a pap smear to get the prescription.

If your health insurance covers some methods, yet your doctor keeps trying to give you other methods, that might be a sign that you're not seeing a very good doctor. A good doctor should understand any financial limits and try to work around them.
You might have better luck at a clinic like Planned Parenthood or Family Planning. They do pregnancy tests, paps, STD tests, birth control, and more. They take insurance. And for uninsured people or things not covered by your insurance, it's done on a sliding scale. If you are a student or don't make much money, it's free. I have been going there for ten years for free.
