Maybe I should say that I haven't experienced anything like this before becoming sexually active, I started birth control at the same time. But since I've had a UTI, Thrush and BV. Also my symptoms don't always match bv, although that's what the test said. It doesn't really have an awful smell somet...

Hi, I recently went through so many tests, because my discharge was abnormal and excessive. I got tested for pretty much everything and I especially asked to be tested for trich because I was worried that it was that. When I got my results, I was pretty relieved to find out it was BV. In its 'transi...

Hi
Not yet, I was waiting to see if I had adjusted to it but I think it's clear that it's not changing, I'll visit very soon.

Thanks for linking me to the article I'll check it out!

I've been taking the contraceptive pill for about 5 months, it's called Levest and I take 21 then there's a 7 day break. But during my period I get unbelievable cramps!! Before being on birth control I didn't have cramps ever. I discussed it with a nurse and she said I probably haven't got used to i...

Hi Thank you, I should be getting tested on Monday. In terms of mental health care, I'm just waiting on counselling. I've been on the waiting list since early December so I'm not sure how long it'll be before I can go. I just turned up to the service and had an assessment to see if I needed counsell...

Hi again! So, I after going to the clinic and only being tested for a few things, then going to the GP and being sent to the GUM clinic, I finally got to the GUM clinic and there was only one nurse available so I couldn't be tested!! I got the results back just fine for my previous tests but I wasn'...

Hi, I thought I'd update I went to my GP today since the lady last night told me I could be tested for yeast and BV by my GP, as she couldn't do that. I rang the receptionist for my doctors and the receptionist knew what my reasons for going were. However when I got there, the doctor was very annoye...

Hi Onionpie! Thank you for your reply. Im not really sure if I have any coping methods, I know for sure that I'm not doing so well coping. But as you say, I can only wait. And eventually I do become calm. It's a cycle, I am unhappy, then calm, then unhappy again. Thank you for that resource I will c...

Oh one more question:
Can you have a sti infection of the mouth at the beginning of the week, but towards the end of the week the symptoms calm down? Can an sti of the mouth go away in its own, and if so can it do it that quickly?

I'm sorry that this will be a long post. I just got back from an STI test but they could only test me for gonorrhoea, chlamydia, HIV and syphillus. They could not check for trich or BV (not enough facilities) so I have to go to my doctor. I've never had unprotected sex. Except I've given oral unprot...

Thank you for your advice! It's really really appreciated. :) I have another question, I know you suggested what the itch etc is caused by. I had the yeast infection during the 7day break of my pill and was on my period the same time as the infection. with this in mind and the fact I'm only just abo...

I had sex with my boyfriend and the condom moved slightly. I noticed it and it didn't slip all the way off but it was because he had ejaculated. I went to the doctors and they said it was a very very minimal risk for pregnancy but as I was anxious they let me take plan B. Since he's had two other pa...
