Thank you Sam! We've talked sometimes about it, that we have to tell each other everything we feel. But at the end I know I can't do that. Everytime I say something wrong, (mostly silly things), she makes it seem like she's really hurt by it, and takes a while to go back to normal with me. I feel li...

Hello! Please, I need another opinion. I have a long distance relationship. We've been together for almost 1,5 years. She lives 3 hours from me. I'm in college, and she's applying for a college. At the first 1,3 years together, the relationship was at its highest. We were so close. We feel good toge...

I want to speak a bit to the idea of people changing after they get married. I'm wondering where exactly you've heard that? It's something I've heard before too, but I don't think that's necessarily going to be the case; it's definitely not something that's guaranteed to happen. I don't know. I thi...

It's hard to deal with miscommunications in a long-distance relationship, and it sounds like this is really worrying you. Have you thought about telling her what you've just said here, explaining where your concerns are coming from? Hi Karyn! You're right, it's just heart-breaking to not be able to...

Thank you for your answer. I changed my mind later, and concluded that a relationship before marriage is there to get to know each other. But when I mentioned we should live together before getting married, she felt that I meant: "Well, if I get to know you better and I don't like it, it's much...

Hi! I got into a discussion with my girlfriend, and I could really use some opinions. We're together for a year and a half, and suddenly her parents were talking about marriage and stuff. And then we started discussing about it. I told her I think it's wise to live together a while before getting ma...

Hello! Me and my girlfriend had sex on the ovulation day, and we used only condoms, even though none of them broke or slip, we were a little worried, so we took the morning after pill. Do you think that was too paranoid, or was it ok? Just to clarify, we rarely use the pill. Then, 7 days after she t...

Hi naturalway505! The morning after pill, or emergency contraception, can affect several period cycles. The variation of a few days happens often even when someone has not taken the emergency contraception. This information can also be found on Levo's website or in the information pamphlet provided...

Hi! I'd like to know if a morning after pill (levo) can mess up your period more than 1 cycle. Because the last period came 5 days early, and now it's 4 days late. Should I get a pregnancy test?

So, there is the potential that if this becomes a pretty long term shift, she might decide that her needs are not being met and choose to end the relationship. That would be a bummer, but it is something that could happen that you ought to be prepared for. On the other hand, couples who decide to d...

You're welcome! When you think abstaining might affect the two of you, what outcome(s) do you imagine? As far as combining methods, if you and she are interested in exploring other options this article gives a rundown of which combinations offer the most protection: The Buddy System: Effectiveness ...

Hi naturalways, That's a conversation that will need to happen between you and her. Abstaining from sex can sometimes alter a relationship, but if you're feeling repeated anxiety as a result of sex that's a sign that abstaining for awhile is a sound choice. Do you feel like you can talk about your ...

Hi! I've already posted some pregnancy risks problems, but now I would like to ask something different. Me and my girlfriend have a long distance, and we've been together for like 10 months, and we had sex many times, and some pregnancy scares. But now, I'm feeling the weight of ruining your future ...

Hi! I know I've posted a similar question here. But I'm concerned about it again. We have a long distance relationship, and we see each other twice a month. But since we're trying condoms and FAM at least once of those we can't have sexual intercourse. We're gonna see each other on monday, and it's ...

Just FYI, FAM, done properly, and used with condoms in the way you are (where you are simply totally abstaining during most fertile times) really is an excellent method. It might also help to know that used properly, condoms have a very low failure rate. Only around one in every 2,000 condoms has b...

Thank yoooou! =3 Since it's my first serious relationship, and I'm in the middle of college it is always scary haha' But I'll make sure to look into other methods so I can sleep relaxed every night haha'
Thank you for your help! =)

Thank you! =)

I've heard that having a period doesn't actually mean you're not pregnant, and that you can still get a "period" while pregnant. Is it true? In what cases could this happen? And how often does this happen? Even if you just had sex some days before your period, it's still not 100% sure you'...

Thanks Sam W, I really appreciate your help. Since we have intercourse like twice a month, I don't know if a hormonal method is worth. She's a little bit scared about side-effects of pills, and because she saw some very rare cases of thrombosis, she's insecure about it. But as soon as we go to a doc...

Thank you Karyn. Actually, we're using condoms and FAM, do you think we should add some other method?

Hi! I am 20 years old, me and my girlfriend have a long-distance relatioship and we see each other like 3 weekends a month mostly. We're sexually active, but we're very scared about getting pregnant. We use only condoms, and I'm extra careful with them. We avoid having sex during fertile days. My qu...
