Discharge...PG??? BC working?? HELP!!!
| Thu, 08-19-2004 - 8:13am |
Well I'm on my 3rd patch of my second month. My boyfriend and I finally decided to have him ejaculate in me for the first time like last week. He had been withdrawing before and I was on the patch. What I dont understand is why I release soo much fluid afterward. Is it because its his semen coming out too? I mean I dont know what's going on. How do I know that my bc is working? Being on the patch has made me notice that I am releasing more "mucus", because I have to use pantiliners everyday and have noticed the discharge getting alittle more sticky and heavy. What does this mean???? Also, isnt BC supposed to make me create more cervical mucus so the sperm dont get into my uterus? Is that why I'm discharging alot? I've noticed its been stickier after my boyfriend comes in me....please help..I've done alot of research but feel helpless.

Having your guy ejaculate inside you is wonderful but can be a bit messy. It's normal to have extra discharge after intercourse as your natural lube and his ejaculate have to come out. Do you have any reason to think the patch isn't working for you? It's 98-99% effective if used correctly so you should be quite safe. One way hormonal BC works in to thicken cervical mucus to decrease the likelihood that sperm can reach your tubes. Depending on the progestin estrogen mix in a method sometimes the amount of discharge a woman will have is reduced but occasionally we will have a member post that her discharge was increased, especially while using the ring. You might want to ask your doctor the questions you are asking here. Perhaps s/he can relieve your mind. I think what you are seeing is mostly his ejaculate. It all sounds quite normal to me.
Good luck,
