I keep telling myself im being stupid as i was responsible and used protection. Should i be worrying this much? I have been feeling bloated and have pains but i also suffer from irritable bowel syndrome so i think it could be that? help.

 Dont worry too much to the point your obsessed about this, it shouldnt control your life. Take a pregnancy test to put this worrying to an end. when i lost my virginity, i was worried too, so four days later i took a pregnancy test, it was negative and so my mind was put to rest. Condoms and contraception dont always protect you from pregnancy, your always running a risk but its highly unlikely, all the best, Faith

reader, anonymous, writes (11 September 2007): I am not going pander you on this issue. Even with condoms, even with the pill and a host of other methods out there...sex still is a very monumental, serious act and anytime you have it with someone, you risk pregnancy. There is absolutely no 100%, surefire method of preventing a potential pregnancy. This is why I tell teens, abstain from sexual intercourse, until you are old enough to handle the responsiblity and deal with the consequences of becoming a parent. To all the people out there, who state, "I had sex all the time and it didn't happen to me" I will say back to them.."you were just damned lucky". So, should you worry? I think you should be concerned and perhaps this worry is your mind's way of telling you, that you are indeed, taking risks. Worry and stress about pregnancy is a big consequence of having sex. The feeling of bloatedness and pain could mean so many different things. If you are worried about this particular symptom, then I must assume you don't get this normally, just before you start your periods? Because..many females are bloated and crampy beforehand, and during their period. My only suggestion is: get to your family doctor. The bloatedness combined with the bowel irritability, could mean there is a medical problem, that needs attention. As for pregnancy, you will have to sit this out until you get your next period. Please be careful and take care of your health, dear. Good luck.

 You did the right thing and used protection when you had intercourse. Effecively this will rule out STDs and also getting pregnant, provided the condom did not split.
Personally i think the bloated feeling you are feeling is more than likely the irritable bowl syndrom you are suffering with. If just to put your mind at rest why don't you do a pregnancy test, if/when it shows negative you can stop worrying and move on.
All the best x

 Just go to your local pharmacy and get an over the counter pregnancy test. They are usually very accurate.

well i understant how you are feeling,i was kissing my then boyfriend for about 4 hour,touching each other but we didnt go all the way,anyhow we both fell asleep and woke up the following day still dressed.for the next couple of weeks i couldnt help but feel pregnant,i saw my breast growing i was gaining weight,i felt nauseos well all the tell tell signs of pregnancy were there.but just like me i believe that you imagination is running wild with you.take it easy if you used a condom then it probably means you are not pregnant but if you want proof.take a pregnancy test it will just confirm that you are not pregnant.girl losing your virginity is a big deal i think you are just being worried about nothing.next time continue using a condom and if you get worried take an emergency 72 hour contraceptive,dont wait until it is 2 weeks.
