What are your symptoms meaning why do you suspect you might be?

I'm not positive how they test if you are allergic but are they spermicidal? Many women have an adverse affect to spermicide. However if you are allergic to latex they do have latex free condoms. Why dont you try buying some and see if the same thing happens? If it doesnt then you know it was the latex but if it still persists with the non-latex then I would suggest seeing a doctor.

the Pill
Hey hey




hey I dont want to go on the pill.. I dont trust it.. I got pregnant when I was on the pill and I was on it for 5 6 months when I got pregnant and I took it properly so I know that it was working.. I dont want to go back on the pill but I want protection.. Spermicides and sponges r way to expensive to use everytime .. So I am hopin I can find out whats behind this and make so I can still use condoms.. For $ purposes ya know
thanks for the suggestion
