uh oh im a bit worried...

Okay so under the influence of alcohol (big uh oh on my part yes I know) I slept with a guy that I'd never touch sober. Well anyways he is in a band and has traveled all over the place...my assumption is that he's slept with a lot of people? Forgive me for the stereotype but still...it's my impression. Kay gonna be graphic here cus I dunno how else to put it but since then I've had an odd discharge. It has an odor that I can't really describe and it's a little darker than usual. My diet has also been really weird lately so I don't know if that would affect anything but...do I have reason for concern here? This has been going on for about a week...

see your doctor hon. did you practice safe sex?

I'd definately see the doctor. It could be a million harmless things, but you're better off safe than sorry. It could be a yeast infection or another infection that I cannot remember the name of right now. Good luck!

thanks for the feedback. It's still going on but not as badly...or maybe I'm getting used to it? I guess I dunno lol. But I did just think of one other thing: I recently took up smoking (bad habit yes, I know...I plan to quit as soon as stress lightens up) but would that have any effect?

See it you'd describe it as any of these?

i smoked 2 packs a day for almost 6 years and never had any kind of discharge like that. think maybe youre afraid you got something so normal discharge looks bad to you? know what i mean? how things happen all the time, but when you are worried about something, you notice little circumstances etc...

how long did it take before this happened?

well it never fits any of the descriptions I find perfectly...I guess most symptoms of anything pretty much never fit the guidelines perfectly...

salukigirl, I think you may be right and I'm just thinking about it too much. That's why I haven't gone to the doc. yet...I'm kinda waiting it out to see if it goes away or gets worse or whatever.

I noticed it the morning after. . .that's too quick for it to be anything serious like an std right? I was thinking UTI at first but there's no burning during urination...was at first but not now. sheesh so confusing.

could just be a yeast infection.

i was with this guy for 6 months and he told me he had been tested for everything and was clear and i knew i was clear. i was on birth control so we didnt use a condom. well then after we broke up i found out he had been cheating on me and lying to me about the number of women he had been with. so whos to say he was telling the truth that his HIV test came back negative? scary that I trusted him but anyways... I started noticing all kinds of little things and assuming they were related to STDs even though they had probably been happening for years before I met him.

That HIV test was the scariest week of my life but everything came back negative. so it sounds like youre doing the same thing i did. but still, getting tested will at least relieve your mind. and chances are its something thats curable with a shot of penicillin if you do have something.

that's definitely possible. I seriously hope I am just overreacting and thinking about it too much. It would be the classic story of how one stupid night messes up a whole life. Of course I'm probably being paranoid. For now I'm not going to make an appt anywhere unless it gets worse or something. I don't even have time to sleep these days so a needless appt would be just too much for me I think.

when i was younger i had a period of time where i drank a lot & slept with lots of guys. this was in the early 90s era so by the Grace of God i didnt get hiv or aids. (have had 3 aids tests most recent was march 07 so i assume im negative) i did however get a bacterial infection where there was a discharge with a terrible odor. just go to doc & get a pap smear they will be able to tell exactly what it is. dont worry theyve heard & seen everything. if it happens to be an std it needs to be taken care of before it goes on any longer. hugs & best wishes!

For sure see doc. Because I slept with someone years ago that was a total ladies man/player, and I bet he couldnt even keep track how many women he slept with and I can bet thats where I picked up something (that im not going to talk about).
