Oh I guess that does make sense why the facts around my anxiety don't persuade me when deep down I know they're true and believe them. I understand, I am just nervous about what they would think of me, I suffer from pretty bad anxiety and even when meeting new people and going somewhere different. S...

Well that's what I thought too and having a past of paranoia this worries me, yet I haven't had a scare in a month or more and I have been doing sexual things including manual sex and just washing my hands once. Is it really possible for your mind to play tricks on you? I swear I could smell it yet ...

I understand that pregnancy risk is not possible when performing manual sex, washing hands with soap and water and going to the loo as this is indirect contact, but why can I smell it under my nail. This is a weird question but I don't understand how I can smell it when you say it's enough to get ri...

Hi, I have two questions to ask, the first is I found out that when living with me my sister had chlamydia, is there any way that I could get it from her by using the same towel that she did after showering. Also I am a but confused about something regarding sperm and hand washing, why is it that wh...

Thank you

Hi, Ok that's fine then, got it Yeah my doctor said that if the contraceptive pill was for birth control to use a barrier method but I don't take part in things that cause risk of pregnancy nor plan to any time soon so no worries there, thank you

Hi, I've just been put on antibiotics for something and was told by the doctor that contraceptives will be affected in term of their effectiveness. Now I know by this he means if I were to take part in unprotected sexual activities while taking the pill and antibiotics, then I would have a risk of p...

ok will do, think it's just I drank lot haha. I just wondered if people tend to urinate more when before a period (and I don't mean pregnant people) because my mum said she used to. Also, with the pill, does it keep your body in the Secretory stage(sorry if it's spelt wrong). I was looking into unde...

I looked at the leaflet that came with the pills and all the things that you tend to get when using the pill are pretty much like pms apart from the fact that I need to urinate more like I do before a period, do you know why this is, is it because of the progesterone or something? I don't have a UTI...

Yeah I have to wait two weeks to see a doctor as it is. That makes sense, I will try that because when I am in a calm happy state, I find I always say to myself "you're fine, you just worry there's no reason to get paranoid" or something along the lines but when I am feeling down or ill an...

Can I also say I find it kind of cool that I have learnt so much about the body in the areas that the site focuses on, but also seen alot of interesting content about other things such as relationships and sexuality etc. I am kind of in love with this site in terms of there being reliable informatio...

Yeah I need to remember everything, which I did last time so the anxiety etc which was good as I felt some weight go off my shoulders but by the time I went to bed the same day I realised I didn't ask questions. I read the leaflet and remember seeing symptoms like breast tenderness which is due to p...

Ok thankyou the doctor didnt say anything at all, they frustrate me alot as they dont tell me much and im only 17. I will ring up tomorrow mornimg and as for the doctor to ring me sometime during theday to help me and will write notes plus arrange an appointment to talk about how I am getting on inc...

Would it be bad if I just stopped taking the pills now after taking them for six days? I don't want to cause any problems and I am getting PMS so think I have taken the wrong pills or something. I am starting to not like the pills as they are making me get PMS which makes me paranoid plus PMS is pai...

It didn't say anything and my doctor didn't tell me and I started on Friday from the left of the pack, so think I have done something wrong but it doesn't say on the info booklet! I am getting white cloudy discharge which is a bit confusing as I swear I never get that and my chest really hurts, will...

I hope I havent taken the wrong side of the pack

Thankyou :-) I have been told to arrange an appointment to see them again after Christmas to talk about the pill but also with anxiety as I get stressed and am still paranoid bbout pregnancy because of how ill ive been which has caused this paranoia nd what I can do. I noticed when taking a pillout ...

Oh hope it works for me then. So your body can react to the hormones in the pill straight away then, as I have got breast tenderness and increase in spots literally the second day of taking it which I get before a period due to the progesterone. Also, do all birth control methods have both estrogen ...

I just wondered because I am on the the pill mainly for lightening my periods and wondered how long it takes for it to like help if that makes sense. Oh I haven't seen that one, I will check it out, thank you

Basically what I am saying is can the pill really start to work after just two days after being taken the third day of your period, my period lasted four days of bleeding ( although not sure if spotting the night before counts??) and nothing yesterday which would be the fifth day. Also, could the pi...

I have a question, just out of interest and curiosity, I started taking the pill on my third day of my period(as it was too late to take it the second night and got it on the second day of my period) and was wondering, does this not effect your body? I have had slight PMS since taking it or is it be...

Thank you Thank you for your support and guidance Helped to have someone there for me

Thank you :) I just decided enough was enough and I was fed up with the panic about everything. That and I have always had anxiety over both big and small things and with the pregnancy fears I have just stopped what triggers me for now. As for periods, they are soo weird haha :lol: It was late yet l...

How do I know if it's completely in though?

Thank you I am very happy about it and to be honest, feel kind of grown up and responsible haha. My relationship has got better again too as I am not so down anymore and am more 'myself' and my boyfriend is happy to finally see me being my happy, jokey kind of geeky in the science area way again hah...
