Condom broke, what are the chances that she is pregnant?

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

Hi, me and a girl I’ve know for some tine had sex 3 times from April 25th at about 11″45PM to 2:00AM on the 26th. I had previously ejaculated around 2PM on the 25th and before we had intercourse, I urinated 3 times and had 2 showers leading up to it because I read that semen can be found in preejaculate (precum) if the man has not urinated. The first time we had sex, I used a condom and never ejaculated but there was precum. The second time, a new condom and same thing. She climaxed a couple times but I did not. We went a third time, and the condom broke. It took me 7-10 seconds to notice and I pulled out immediately. I did not fully ejaculate but there was precum. I then put on a new condom and finished up. She said that her last period was April 2, and claims that she is on a 28 day menstruation cycle but I dont think she actually knows her days. She says her breasts were already feeling tender and that she should going on her period this week. What are the chances that she is pregnant based on the potential time of ovulation, urinating before sex, and switching the condom swiftly. Im really freaking out. Anything would help.

I woke up with a painful lump in my leg?

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

I woke up with a painful lump in my leg. I know I haven’t been drinking enough water and forgot my iron supplement for the last couple days. I just took it now along with some vitamin C and an ibuprofen and lots of water. I’m 29 and a healthy weight. I walk a lot, but that is pretty much my only exercise. Will this go away on its own or should I be concerned?

I experienced a sudden onset of bad left side chest pain which spread down my left arm?

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

Early this morning at about 3am I experienced a sudden onset of bad left side chest pain which spread down my left arm and a bit in my back. The pain was at it’s worst for about an hour, but stayed to a lesser extent for the rest of the night. There is a family history of heart disease (I have not been genetically tested for the condition yet but will be in the next couple of months) so I went to A&E this morning. They did and ECG which came back normal so they then did a chest X-Ray which also came back looking fine. After this I was told to go home and manage the pain myself. No bloods were taken. Unfortunately the pain hasn’t sopped and I still have it now- it feels almost like a bruising pain that comes and goes. If I breathe in very deeply and hold my breath, the pain gets worse and it sometimes gets worse when I move around or press on my chest. Despite having good ECG and X-Ray results, because the area I am feeling pain in is a potentially serious area I am still quite worried about it. Since bloods and further testing was not done, I am worried something has been missed. I am a 22 year old female. If the pain still persists for the next few days, how long do you think I should wait before returning to A&E?

I take 4mg lorazepam at bedtime for insomnia. I forgot my refill and cannot get it until tomorrow. I have a bottle of liquid lorazepam that has been in the fridge, but expiration is 2004. Is it safe to take? I am concerned that is it bad, but really do not know what will happen if I do not get my nightly dose in.

Problems with my heart, suffer from heart palpitations, please advise?

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

I have problems with my heart. Besides from suffering from heart palpitations on a regular base and occasional light hediness, I do have a very slow heart beat at 54 beats per minute sometimes. Other than that I feel fine. I was checked by my primary physician and cardiologist. Blood works, EKG, Holter Monitor, Stress Tests, ECG all done and all normal. But I still have the same palpitation and slow heart beat. What can be causing this.

I have noticed the palms of my had turn red on and off for about a month?

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

I have noticed the palms of my had turn red on and off for about a month. I am 67 just had a CMP test everything within normal range. The reason I noticed was there is a small nodule under my ring finger that appears to be extending towards the finger. No pain or discomfort at all. My Dr. said she thought it was a cyst, I’ve had many cysts, this does not feel like one, as it is extending to the finger. She said the red palms were probably a circulation, and I take drugs that could be a factor. However, I have been taking the same drugs for 10 years. I do use a lot of prednisone for nasal pollups.

I Have Multiple Sclerosis and I think I have Listeria from food that I ate?

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

I Have Multiple Sclerosis and I think I have Listeria from food that I ate A few weeks ago & My Doctor retired without any warning a week ago. I need to know how dangerous this could be and what do you think I should do?
I saw my dr. on feb 7th with the tail end of a cold I could not get rid of and she gave me a prescription for Amoxicillin 500mg 3 x a day, I got it filled but never used it because I did start feeling better after I saw her.
I ate some delezza Belgian Custard cream filled Mini Eclairs over a 3 day period – approx. april 25-28 and on april 4th I started feeling bad a slight fever and diarrhea off and on for a few days (I thought it was just the cold again) but then I started aching all over like someone beat me up and I’ve had a Severe Head Ache that will not go away no matter how many asprin. My Neck is super stiff and my back hurts, I am Salivating a lot because I keep feeling like I am going to throw-up, but never do.
What is funny – I liked these eclairs that I had eaten before any of this started and my husband was feeling so bad for me – he said he would get me more & he couldn’t find any. We got online looking to see who had any and saw that they have been recalled because of Listeria. When we looked up all the symptoms, I have most of them, So I started taking the Amoxicillin that my dr. gave me a prescription for (that I hadn’t taken for my cold) I started taking Amoxicillin 500mg 3 x a day on april 18th, But I feel worse – I keep loosing my balance and I can’t think very clearly. I am just worried because I have MS and I take Ampyra for it, I have low Thyroid and take Synthriod and Losartan Potassium – Hctz for Blood pressure.
Could you Please Tell me What to Do? Many Thanks, (—)

I want to start a testosterone replacement therapy?

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

I want to start a testosterone replacement therapy. My main concern is the impact to my kidneys.
One year ago I was found with a cancer in one of my kidneys. I underwent a partial nephrectomy which succeeded. Now, I have 1 whole kidney and 0.6 of the other. They work properly and I do not have any sign of cancer (whereas I will be doing exams every 6 months for the next 3 years).
I have to add the whole kidney has 2-3 cysts, but apart from that my kidneys work completely properly.
My questions are: Is the use of testosterone toxic for kidneys? Does my condition (apart for the extra burden due to the deficit in volume of kidneys) entail higher risk? Would you suggest the use of testosterone in such a case?
