personal post, but whatever, we’re all adults here.

my surgery is on 7/25, but on 7/19 i had unprotected sex. i didn’t really think anything of it, but my friends have me paranoid. i have PCOS and just stopped my birth control a month ago (in prep for surgery- i’ll be continuing it after) so i really didn’t think anything of being unprotected and he did not finish inside me, but now they have me all nervous. do you guys think i’ll be okay???

Most hospitals do a urine test when they admit you to pick up exactly this. I'll defer to the medical professionals on this board for verification, but every single time I've gone to the hospital for a procedure they've made me pee in a cup. It's always been for a pregnancy test.
If it comes back positive they won't operate. Pretty straightforward and other than telling them you had unprotected sex, you don't really need to do anything here.
(...and here of course is the unsolicited advice of DAMN, if you're only on a one-month birth control break which I assume means you don't want to be pregnant, why play Russian roulette like that? Condom! Condom condom condom! Spermicide! Condom! Diaphragm! Condom! Ack!)

"They" need to invent better condoms, as soon as they go on, the fun stops...

I hear you, but I also find newborns EXTREMELY UN-FUN. One of my friends was just disastrously sick seven months of her pregnancy. Another one had to go on bed rest starting month 5. We work in an industry where that stuff can happen and you can actually keep your job, but... shudder. Total buzzkill for me, no matter how in-the-moment I am.

It's a big area to cover but I humbly accept the acclaim that comes with it!???

And PS one of the hosptals in my service atea, Riverside Methodist in Columbus runs routine pregnancy testing on every female up to 54 years old! ???

They will absolutely do a pregnancy test the day of surgery

I don't mind babies, The OP may not either, but I'm certain the design flaws of condoms has to be one of the main reason why people don't use them. I just wish some thinktank would fix the problemVSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Even with birth control should have been using condoms particularly if its just a hook up - safe sex doesn't mean just protection from pregnancy. Even if condoms are not fun for anyone, I would think catching a sexually transmitted disease wouldn't be fun as well.

yeah i know. we’ve hooked up in the past and know each other’s history’s though so that wasn’t what i was worried about

My dr refused to do my procedure until a pregnancy test. They straight cathed me and nothing. The nurse that cathed me thought she was in the wrong hole. So i got poked by a cath where there was no hole. I never screamed so loud! Because of the pain they got enough out of me to do the pregnancy test. I explained i had my tubes”tied” and had not had sex in 4 1/2years! I held everyone up for 45 minutes

Hope nobody plans to do a pregnancy test on me . At 72 a waste of their time and my insurances ?.???
