So we cant get std's if we lost our virginetys together or can we? I know he wont sleep with someone else while we are together but he might if we break up... Thank you so so much for your help.. I really appreciate it and i know your advice will certanly help me.. thanx =]
My oh My, you just contradicted yourself...
1) I wasn't aware you were outside America so Plan Parenthood is not in your location so scratch that idea.
2) You just said he will never sleep with another girl while yall together because yall both lost virginity together. Yet, you think your symptom is a std or sti. You can only get a std thru sex so either you or him has had unprotected sex from another person (if both of you were virgins at the time yall had sex for the first time).... That clearly proves that I'm right. He is still young minded and liable to slip up and have unprotected sex with someone else simply because he doesn't like to use condoms. All I can say is I hope the best for you and you love to take care of body before anything else in this world, including your boyfriend.
3) I can't predict if you and your boyfriend will be together forever or break up. I'm just simply saying that history shows young couples not lasting forever in life. So you need to protect yourself first from catching std's and young pregnancy rather than worrying if you're going to lose your boyfriend because of no sex.
4) Your boyfriend has a sore throat from giving oral sex! That could be soreness to the throat from swallowing your secretion (fluids) or that could be a std. It is not wise to swallow the fluids while giving oral sex to a woman and it is not wise to swallow a man's semen while giving oral sex to a woman.
I wish you the best! Use a condom! Focus on education and taking care of you! Love will always come in and out your life....

Okay I'm going to assume you live in america... I live in south africa and things are a little bit diffrent here... 1) I know he will never sleep with another girl while we are together becaus we lost our virginety's tohether and that made us even closer then we were before... and he is a good guy. 2) There isnt "plan parenthood" anywhere here and I can't call the number you have given me 3) we agreed to stop having sex for a while 2 see how it goes and if we can keep a normal teenage relationship like we did in the beginning... we are like best friends and we are together now for almost a year now, and we have only become sexually active about 2 months ago because we love eachother. so I sereously doubt that we are going to break up soon, and I am in high school and he is 17... and i am scared that this smell might be symptoms of an std or sti... I definately will try what you said and I hope it is the pill and not an std... Oh, and my boyfriend asked me to find out whu his throught is sore after Oral sex? does it have anything to do with my ... fluids??
"See we are never prepared for sex because we never know when its going to happen.. ">>>> If a man is going to visit a woman, he always have protection on him because he just never know. That's the golden rule. I agree with you, his line is simple excuse to have unprotected sex. But keep this in mind, he is also training his mind to only enjoy unprotected sex. So if he slips up and sleep with another girl while he's with you, guess what... it will be unprotected sex. So keep that in mind. He is still young minded and may doing something like that. It's part of growing up. It's best he learn how to enjoy sex with the condom.
"If i see a dermatologist for my skin the chance is low that they will perscribe the pill and if they do then my mom will know about it because the closest dermatologist is 30 km's away...">>>>>> There are other dermantology medicine for your skin that has nothing to do with birth control. For example, a cream for the skin like Rentin...
"there is no place in our area that offers cheap birth control methods for teenagers because this is a really small town and the number of teenage pregnancies are really low... ">>>>> Did you try dialing the # I gave you? Plan Parenthood is all over.
"If I go off the pill the chance of getting pregnant will be alot bigger ">>>> You're absolutely right. So you have 2 choices, stop taking that pill + no birth control + no condom= possibility pregnancy or stop taking that pill + use condom or new birth control + new medicine for your acne=less chance of pregnancy. Unless you're ready for a baby at your young age, I advise option #2
"I have thaught about stopping the sex completely but I am scared that our relationship will fall appart... ">>>> YEP! At that young age, your boyfriend may move on to someone else. But to be honest with you, relaationships at your age doesn't last long time anyway. You will meet someone else in highschool, then college, and then the real world. Right now, you should be focusing on your education and protecting yourself from std's and young pregnancy.

ok thank you... sorry, I got dermatologist confused with gynocologist.. anyway we did buy condoms but he always "forgets" them when he comes to my house because he "didnt know we were going to do it"... oldest excuse in the book.See we are never prepared for sex because we never know when its going to happen.. sometimes it does and sometimes it doesnt.. Thats why i was actually glad when my doctor perscribed the pill.. so that I am always prepaired. If i see a dermatologist for my skin the chance is low that they will perscribe the pill and if they do then my mom will know about it because the closest dermatologist is 30 km's away... but I will defenately postpone the use of ginette 35 or discontinue it completely. but the box insert never said anything about it causing smells... But I will see what happens.. there is no place in our area that offers cheap birth control methods for teenagers because this is a really small town and the number of teenage pregnancies are really low...
If I go off the pill the chance of getting pregnant will be alot bigger even if we use condoms because they can tear or break... thats why I need to use either birth control pills with or spermacide and there isnt a pharmacy or anything here that sells spermacide so I'm in a bit of a pickle. I have thaught about stopping the sex completely but I am scared that our relationship will fall appart...

Going to a dermantologists about your skin has nothing to do with birth control. They are 2 completely different issues.
For birth control, there should be a plan parenthood in your area that offers cheap birth control method for teenagers. You should research that or just call 1-800-230-PLAN.
If your boyfriend feels he is mature enough to have sex, he should be mature enough to go to a local pharmaceutical store and buy condoms. He'll just get some funny looks but trust me, the store would appreciate selling him condoms because he wants to practice safe sex. If he is still too embarass, I'm pretty sure one of you have an older sister or brother that would understand and get the condoms for you.
Again, I suggest you stay away from the Ginnette 35 for right now and see if the smell goes away in a week. If the smell does go away, you know not to get back on the Ginnette 35.

ok well.. see, the problem is my parents.. i know this sounds cleche.. but i am not legal yet and going to a dermatologist will certanly give my mother funny ideas.. she doesnt know I am on the pill because I know she will freak out.. so its a problem for me going to a dermatologist, switching to another birth control or even getting my hands on a few condoms... I dont work yet so I dont have money and the only way I can get money for such things is from my parents.. but surely they will want to know what it is for. I really dont know what to do... I havent started my new strip of meds yet so do you think I should postpone the use of it for a few days to see if the smell goes away, and if it does, re-start the pills?? thank you for your help so far.. I truly appreciate it
There should be other dermantology medicine to work for your skin. Ginette 35 shouldn't be your only option. Consult with a dermantologists.
As far as using condoms, your boyfriend needs to become comfortable with using them. If he doesn't like using them because he complains not to feel anything thru them, then he needs to find out why his penis is not enjoying sensation thru a condom. Condoms are made to still enjoy sex and feel 90% of the vagina. I use them all the time. If he refuse to still use a condom, perhaps switching to another birth control.

That actually makes sence!!! thank you :) but see, I just bought a new packet today and these pills are really expensive. plus, this is the only protection i have against pregnancy and my boyfriend doesn't believe in condoms. and the pill is the only thing i could find that actually works for my skin. I have tried various products before i found the pill that did not work at all.. this is the only medication that started working. the doctor perscribed 6 months of this pill and told me I have to take it in order for it to work... but if it is the pill causing the odour I think its best to see my doctor again
I started taking it precicely 28 days ago... no this is the only pill I am using... but i'm not using it solely for birth control but also for mild acne... I dont trust the pill. But do you think it might be the pil causing the odour??
When did you start taking this pill? and are you taking any other birth control pills with this pill?

Millions of people are diagnosed with STDs in the U.S. each year.
STDs can't be transmitted by casual contact, like hugging or touching.
Syphilis is an STD that is transmitted by oral, genital and anal sex.
Discharge often isn't normal, and could mean an infection or an STD.
STDs aren't transmitted through clothing. Fabric is a germ barrier.
Normal vaginal discharge varies in color, smell, texture and amount.
If I were you, discontinue taking the pill and see if the smell goes away. It may take a few days for it to go away though because it has to get out your system.
Find another method to take care of your acne.
