Sorry, not a very nice subject, but thought I would raise it. Bit of background history first ...
Me and my husband (ex-DH) have been separated since February (finally) but he did not move out until September. I had started seeing someone in June of this year but things never really got going until x-DH finally moved out and things seemed to progres very quickly with B as we had been "seeing" each other since June - not that long I know.
Anyway, before we started "sleeping" together (mid-September) I had had the coil removed as I felt I no longer needed contraception when me and H split as I felt I would never meet anyone ever again.
The first few times me and B had sex (sorry to be so blunt) we used a condom but, as I got to know him better (and a good friend of mine has known him years), I started taking the mini-pill - see new thread soon! Because I felt I was then "protected" we no longer used condoms - silly of me I know, 35 years old and not acting sexually aware!
All was fine until we split, briefly, for 10 days. We got back together again recently (still early days - got to get lots sorted) and, after having sex with him again, I find out via a friend B had slept with someone else while we were apart (without a condom I presume). This person B slept with is basically a "slag" and is well known in our area for having been about a bit. B will not admit to me that he did this although my good friend would have no reason to lie to me.
I have now decided I am going to my local hospital tomorrow (with my good friend) to get "checked out". I have never been to my local GU clinic and am not sure what questions they will ask, will they judge me on my behaviour, what tests will they do and what do these tests involve.
I appreciate this is a delicate subject but any advise would be appreciated. I am attending the hospital tomorrow regardless - to put my mind at ease as anything else.
I can't be the first woman (with 3 children) to go and be "checked out".
