Unprotected sex last Sunday night,
I had my period two weeks before that.

When do the symptoms start showing
and when is the right time to take a pregnancy test?
Thanks.

Not until I was about 7 to 9 weeks pregnant, believe me you wouldn't know yet.
Different tests work in different way's some not until a few day's after your missed period, other you can take as early as 5 day's before your expected missed period.
If you don't want a baby, stop having sex.

The soonest symptoms will show is 2 weeks from then, soonest test would be 6 days before your next period with the first response brand

i didnt know i was preg w my 1st baby until i was already 4 and 1/2 months. my 2nd, i was 2 months before i found out. no symptoms at all

One option would be to take the morning after pill asap.

I've been recently diagnosed with HPV and I definitely didn't think anything like this or worse would happen to me. I've already had one procedure done, had the check-up after, everything was fine. just had my routine pap and am waiting for my results, praying to God that everything is still fine and no problems. I'm just unsure about having sex again…if it's going make the symptoms worse or make me worse. if anyone can help me out with this I'd really appreciate it because I'm scared about the entire problem that I now have to live with for the rest of my life.

I get smears all the time because its so prominent in my family, but all my freinds have been so embarassed to go! daft!

One friend i managed to pursuade her to go get one done as she was complaining of pains and alot of extra discharge, she did go and has highly abnormal cells, thankfully she just got a colosopy ( excuse spelling ) and is fine now.

So i would just say be aware of any changes within yourself, any changes should be checked, and get smears, at least one a year if you have it in your family.

Unfortunately there arent really any. Abnormal vaginal bleeding or discharge can be a sign, but can happen for a number of reasons. Pain on having sex may indicate something but again can happen for numerous reasons. Abdominal swelling an discomfort is another thing, but you guessed it…there are many causes.

Well you need regular smear tests.

Some signs are lots of discharge and/or bleeding (though this can be a number of things), sharp pains during sex and period-like pains throughout the month, again, that could be due to anything, from small cysts to various cancers.

Ovarian cancer is a silent killer as the symptoms are very few -but you can be tested to see if you are likely to get it if it runs in the female side of your family.
Cervical cancer is quiet common and can be detected early by regular smear tests. you will get smelly discharge that is not clear sometimes but not always . Google Ovarian cancer or cervical cancer and you should get all the info you need.

ovarian cancer – bloating, change of bowel habit, needing to go for a wee more often, tummy pain, tiredness, loss of appetite, weight loss
first investigations = blood test and ultrasound scan.

cervical cancer = bleeding, possibly after sex. any of the above investigation = blood tests and smear test

womb cancer = any of the above
investigation = blood tests and hysteroscopy (requires anaesthetic)

i have only been sexually active for about 2 or 3 weeks now, and it has been with the same person. Everytime we've had sex, i would spot the next time i went to the bathroom. It's very light and its only right after we'd have sex, but i read that it is a symptom for cervical cancer. i didn't get the shot yet. does anyone else have this problem?

First of all, WOW.. you are way too young!

Second, ask you doctor.

well 1st of all u shouldnt b having sex but thats ur decision and u need to tell ur parents to take u to the hospital to get checked out and make sure u r having safe sex

hun. you should think.
your freakin 14.
tell your parents. It's the best way to go.
I wish you the best.

its way too soon for u to be having sex but since u are u need to let your parents know and have them take u to the doctor. although it perfectly normal to have some spotting after sex if u just started. but about this guy, even though he's the only one your sleeping with that doesn't mean that your the only one he's sleeping with. so u need to be tested for sexually transmitted diseases and so does he for that matter.you are too young to be committing to a sexual relationship. and as far as cancer goes no one on here can answer that ……u need to go to the doctor.

gah, your WAY too young!

I haven't had the gardsil vaccine or any other vaccines to prevent cancer, is it too late to get it?

You can certainly have it at that age. You would have to have had HPV which is a virus that is sexually transmitted, so go get a pap smeal asap at the doctors and if you don't have neither the virus or the cervical cancer (the virus is necessary to obtain the cancer) then i would get a vaccination for it also asap that way you never get either of them. goodluck

It's not to late to get gardisil you have till your 26. I can't believe that you are 15 and your having sex. your just a baby. You need to go to a Gyno A.S.A.P. Even if you are menstruating go right away, they can still check you, and let them give you a pap smear and check for other things. yes you can get Cervical Cancer at any age. It's comes from a STD called HPV. Go get checked as soon as possible

When in doubt time to get a checkup.

Go to your local Planned Parenthood and find out? how do you know the symptoms of cervical cancer??? normally there is no symptoms.

Who told you your symptoms were those of cervical cancer? there are no symptoms specific to cervical cancer. there can be symptoms of abnormal bleeding, pain, etc, but none that can be linked without further evaluation to a specific diagnosis of cervical cancer. if you have pelvic or menstrual problems, go to your doctor, a community health center, or Planned Parenthood to have your questions answered, and if needed, an exam. The screening test for cervical cancer is a pap smear, which is a vaginal exam in which cells are brushed off of the cervix, and sent to a pathologist who looks at them under a microscope to see if abnormal cells are present. The first thing you need is clarification of what symptoms you are having, then an appropriate exam.
Remember when the kid told the "Kindergarten Cop" that his headache COULD be a tumor? Its true, some headaches do come from tumors, but that shouldn't be at the top of the list for everyone whose head hurts. there are more likely diagnoses than cervical cancer without more information.

The only way to be certain that you do or don't have any disease is to see a Dr and get an accurate diagnosis.

At age 15, unless you have been sexually active for some time it would be unlikely that you would have cervical cancer.

Gardasil cannot prevent cervical cancer, it reduces the forms of HPV you can contract which in turn reduces your risk of cervical cancer.

Unless you have already contracted all forms of HPV that Gardasil protects against, then it is worthwhile getting the vaccine.

You need to see a Dr and get accurate information on your health, sexually transmitted diseases and contraception.

Cervical cancer has no symptoms until it is very advanced.
The only way you can know if you have it or not is by going to your doctor.
It is possible to have it at your age, but not likely.
There are no vaccines to prevent any kind cancer.
Gardasil protects you against 4 strains of HPV, but it cannot protect you against a strain of HPV it does not contain or one you have been exposed to.
You can still get the vaccine and hopefully you have not already been exposed to the strains it contains so that it may help you.
You can still get cervical cancer and not have HPV.
You can still get cervical cancer if you have had Gardasil.

You need to go to the gynecologist. Cervical cancer symptoms are pretty vague so its basically impossible to figure it out on your own.

The gynecologist will take a look at your cervix and take a PAP smear to check for abnormal cell growth. if it comes back abnormal they will do a biopsy to check the cells more carefully and then they can diagnose if you have cancer or not.

It is not too late to get the Gardisil vaccine, but you should get a gynecological exam first to make sure you don't have cancer (most likely you don't, its rare at your age) or any other issues. You can get Gardisil until you're 26 in the USA I think in UK they prefer you're under 18 or maybe 21?
