UTI? Yeast Infection? Pregnancy? Help?! Gah!
Okay so I'll get down to it, and because I ramble, I'm bulletpointing it all.
1.) yesterday my boyfriend and I had sex. He wore a condom, it didnt split from what I know, but after about an hour he fingered me. I am due on my period today; it hasn't come yet and I'm not too worried, but I was wondering if there could be some risk I'm pregnant? I believe the chances small but I feel the question has to be asked.
2.) I've been really itchy 'down there' for about 2 and a half days there. It's not an STD, my boyfriend, having had a girlfriend before me only when he was 12 and them splitting up due to the fact they couldn't even bring themselves to kiss, was a virgin when we first got involved sexually and he definitely didn't inherit anything from his parents. I know that for sure. I've heard of UTI's and yeast infections though and have worried about this. It is extremely itchy down there but it doesn't hurt, it just feels irritated but at times it feels fine. I'm not sure if the discharge is any worse or yellower than usual because it's always pretty much the same but it has been sticky and yellow recently, although this is reasonably normal for me. It doesn't burn or anything when I go to the loo. Could it be some kind of allergy or does it sounds like either of the above? The two days its been like that I was wearing sanitary towels because I was expecting my period, but I've never had a reaction like this although my twin sister says she has.
What do you think it is?
3.) If it is anything like that what should I do? I know the doctors seems obvious but can you get any meds for these things without a prescription? my mother knows I am sexually active but my father would probably disown me if he found out - my mum is very laid back about this stuff. Problem is, she's not here to tell for 2 weeks and its damn itchy, I don't really want to wait that long. If I were to ring up, what would I say on the phone?! Would I ask to see a gynocologist or someone else?
Geeze. Thank you :)

If it doesn't smell there's probably nothing wrong. You can get creams to help the itching at your local drug store, and if it's still bothering you when your mom gets back you can go to the doctors.

It sounds like a yeast infection to me because of the "itchiness". Probably because you've been wearing sanitary napkins..you may have made it more "sweaty and airless" in that area. That is what usually causes a yeast infection (that and taking anti-biotics).
You could go to the local pharmacy and purchase a simple treatment, I would recommend the one with the external cream for relief. If the symptoms don't go away after 5-7 days..it's high time to see your physician.
And, yes, your partner can get your yeast infection, but men don't get them as easily- quite rare if I'm correct. Unless he starts complaining of "itchiness" I wouldn't worry that he got it from you.
