Q: Spermacide Condoms the Reason For My Yest Infection?

My boyfriend and I had sex for the first time about a week ago. Then and every time after that we checked the condoms for leaks and everything. The condoms had spermacide on them and I saw somewhere that spermacide can affect the bacteria in your vagina and it can give you a yeast infection, which I know have. But then I saw that a yeast infection is a early pregnancy sign! I have been having all my pms symptoms and should be starting my period any day now. This was my first time and his so I know its not an std. Someone please give me some input! Megan

Probably a yeast or bacterial infection. Go to the gyno to get in checked out. I hope you didn't check the condoms with water! You shouldn't have to check them, they are inspected at the factory. Just make sure he dosn't keep him in his wallet, it can break down the rubber.
