ejaculated in me last night and so far no semen has come out AT ALL. Normally most of it comes out as soon I stand up so I don't understand why it hasn't come out yet. Is that normal? If it doesn't, what will happen? Does it just disolve? If so, how long will it take? Also, I'm on my period right now. I'm on my 3rd day and I've all but stopped bleeding. Which is also pretty strange because they normally last a week. It's almost like NOTHING is coming out now. I know it's bizarre...sorry for sounding so ignorant. This has just never happened before.

Hi gretchen658, welcome!

The vagina is a self cleaning organ so what ever is in there will eventually come out. Guys sometimes release different amounts of ejaculate. Perhaps this time there wasn't as large a qty. as usual. Had you just removed a tampon before IC? If so you might have been dry enough that his available ejaculate just mixed with your natural lube and there wasn't enough to drain. As far as a shorter period, have you just started BCPs? They can reduce your periods significantly. Or, our periods change as we age, so perhaps that is what has begun to happen. I don't think you have anything to worry about. Let us know how you're doing, ok?

Good luck,
