easy way to find out is this -
Trich:
Typical symptoms include foul smelling or frothy green discharge from the vagina, vaginal itching or redness. Other symptoms can include painful sexual intercourse, lower abdominal discomfort, and the urge to urinate
Chlamydia:
the bacteria initially infect the cervix and the urethra (urine canal). Women who have symptoms might have an abnormal vaginal discharge or a {{{{ burning sensation when urinating.}}}}} When the infection spreads from the cervix to the fallopian tubes (tubes that carry fertilized eggs from the ovaries to the uterus), some women still have no signs or symptoms; others have lower abdominal pain, low back pain, nausea, fever, pain during intercourse, or bleeding between menstrual periods. Chlamydial infection of the cervix can spread to the rectum.
I'd say highly doubt it is Trich since you thought you had a UTI which is a sighn of Chlamydia
My sister had this and same thing happened to her, she had to take another script of the meds and she went back and the std was gone. So the failer of meds is common in curing STD's
I don't think that will be a problem for a while haha I'm making sure I'm 100% clean before messing with that again. Thanks again!
Absolutely the antibiotics can interact with your birth control pills. You need to make sure to use a back up method for 7 days to make sure you don't get pregnant.
Of course, if he hasn't tested, then you should be using a condom or avoiding sex so you don't get re-infected.
And I'm happy for you. :)
ooook.. i need some more medical advise.
So now I am bleeding? Is this normal? Its not just like spotting, its like i got my period or something but more on and off. I'm supposed to get my period next week, and I'm on the pill so its usually pretty exact. Is there a way that my antibiotics are just interacting with my birth control and causing me to bleed early? or is something extra wrong?
We're working things out and I'm soo happy :)
I'll see him tomorrow night now! What an Easter weekend!
Thanks again AJ for all your advise and support!
I sure will, Thanks again
Good. :)
Keep me posted, ok?
AJ
haha thanks for all of your advise, this site is truely helpful, i learn so much reading the posts.
I'd give it a couple of days, and see what happens, but he doesn't get to judge you for what you did before you met him. I'm sure he's not perfect.
Can you tell I'm getting defensive for you? ;)
Well, It has been 2 days now without talking about it. I told him that I have a prescription for him and he said we'd figure it out later on, but that was brief over texts yesterday.. I'm just waiting because I don't want to pressure him or whatever if he needs to think about things. He has very strong values, as do I, but I messed up and I think that the idea that I slept with somebody I didn't care about is disturbing to him? I'm not sure, I was completely honest with him and then he told me to leave and "we'll see about how things go" so I don't really know what to do other than wait. I'm not sure how long I should wait before attempting to talk to him, if i should at all. This whole deal is so unfortunate. I didnt' cheat, i thought I was clean- the doc was confident in telling me i shouldn't have to worry about it again, and i was honest with him, and its curable.. i hope that he sees the light in the situation at least.. Should I just continue to wait for him to make the first move on talking about it?
Is he not talking to you now? That's disturbing. I think he might be scared, upset, whatever, but the silent treatment is totally immature, and not at all warranted here.
I think your intent was not to hurt him, and chlamydia won't hurt him. You didn't know, and if he can't accept that, then maybe that's a sign about him that you should pay attention to.

I'm going to a rapid care clinic today to get tested for trich to clear all of this up. I guess my big problem now is trying to get him to talk to me again. I'm being patient, but its tough, i've only been 'active' him for 2 months.. but we've been dating for about 5 so I hope you are right in the idea that he'll see I didn't mean to hurt him at all.. Your advise is awesome thanks so much!
Well, any test can have false results - no test is 100% accurate. Have you been tested for trich? That would end the speculation.
Well, firsts are fine, but does he know for sure she didn't cheat? Do you know why they broke up? Something obviously went wrong, or they'd be together. (You don't have to answer all those here, they are just to get you thinking of possibilities lol)
And maybe he didn't have it. You still didn't do anything maliciously. You didn't know. You seem like a really sweet person here - he has to see that side of you far more than we do on a message board. He has to know, or have a really good idea, that you wouldn't do anything intentional.
AJ
Thanks for the reply. My new guy has only been with one other person which they were firsts together. So he's standing strong by being clean, It would feel wrong accusing but yes the thought has crossed my mind. You've never heard of re occuring positive chlamydia tests really being trich?
How do you know the new guy is std-free? Perhaps you got re-infected by him.
You've only been with him for 2 months. Either one of you could have had this prior to the relationship and brought it in. There is no reason for blame, and all that's important is that you both get treated.
All you have to say is that you went to the doctor, found this out, and he needs to get tested and treated. Say that it could have as easily been you as him, and that you all will likely never know - and unless he was tested you don't know for sure that he didn't have an std - how it happened.
If he's as good a guy as you say, he won't get freaky about this. You truly didn't know, and as I said, it could be from him.
I'd doubt its trich as its coming back as chlamydia.
