I am new to this so please bear with me as this is embarrassing and long
I have been seeing dp for a few months now but have known him for years. He has always expressed an interest in me but I have always refused him since he has a reputation as a player - albeit a very nice and honest one!
Anyway... he weakened my resolve and we started dating but took it really slowly and didn't get intimate right away as I was still nervous about being just another notch on his bedpost despite his assurances.
He has 6 monthly STI check up's since he is a single bloke who plays the field and to his horror right at the beginning of our relationship a routine check up came back positive for chlamydia. He rang me immediately and apologised and said he would understand if I never wanted to see him again as he was very embarrassed and horrified by it.
He knew exactly who he got it off since he does not go in for one night stands or picking girls up in bars etc. Instead he had a couple of friends - one being an ex girlfriend where they both decided they weren't couple material but still liked each other as friends - and they were I suppose friends with benefits, an arrangement which suited all parties fine.
I told him not to worry about it, he had told me about these girls before we started seeing each other as he is actually a very honest bloke and I said it was okay and that these things happen. He said it was a lesson learned and he would not put himself in that position again and that was the end of that... or so we thought!
We were careful not to get up to anything until he took his course of antibiotics and then we used condoms just to be safe. More so because I am not on the pill or any other contraceptive and this early on it would not be wise to be 'caught out'.
I used to have an inplant but it was causing all sorts of problems so I had it removed and kept a diary of my menstrual cycle thereafter as I was warned that it could be a bit up and down. It is hard to predict when I will get a period as it has been scattered so far:
33 days, 36 days, 33 days, 26 days, 38 days, 37 days, 37 days, 35 days and the last one was 27 days which was Christmas Eve.
By my reckoning I should be having a period anywhere between the 21st and the 31st of January - so far nothing.
On New Years Eve (and day!!) we got a bit carried away and ended up having sex a couple of times without using a condom. I thought we would be perfectly safe as I just finished my period 2 days before so there was no chance of me ovulating any time soon.
On Sunday evening he started to get an uncomfortable feeling in his testicles as if he had been wearing pants that were too tight and he recognised the signs so went to the doctor and two days later he was told that he had tested positive for Chlamydia again!
His doctor things that he has probably just been unlucky in that the single dose antibiotics did not clear it up properly and he still had it when we started sleeping together. (Yes I am aware that there will be questions over whether or not he has been faithful but that is another topic for another day....please!!)
He now has a new dose of antibiotics - 2 pills every day - and he has to get tested again once he has finished these to make sure it has cleared up this time. He has been told no sex at all - not even with a condom - until he receives an all clear test.
Obviously this means that I have had to go for a test too. My results are due back Monday afternoon/Tuesday morning.
Since Monday I have been experiencing a strange pain whenever I orgasm - obviously masturbation since he is out of action - and I have tested it a couple of times just to see what would happen and each time there is a sharp but not bad pain on the right hand side of my vagina - labia majora or mound kind of along a straight line from my clitoris. It doesn't stop my orgasm but at the point the pain hits the orgasm dulls right down to the point that it was hardly worth bothering with.
So... is this likely to be a sign that I do have Chlamydia, could it be a sign that my period is due and my body is just playing up or could I possibly be pregnant?
I have taken a pregnancy test which was negative but this was on the 21t and as I have no idea when my period is actually due I can't really say whether that was too early or not!
I have been getting strange achey/crampy/sharp pains really low down in stomach - almost above my pubic line and I assumed this meant that my period was on its way. I have also been really horny this week which again I assumed meant that my period was due.
I am probably just thinking of worse case scenarios while I wait for my test results tomorrow but if anyone has any thoughts then they are most welcome.
