STD's ? Could I have one
2 weeks ago me & my boyfriend had sex (oral first) & then we went to actual penis- vagina sex.. That part lasted like 5 minutes. My period had ended a day before but it came early and lasted longer.. And then after we had sex I was bleeding. I wasn't a virgin so I knew it couldn't of been my hymen- and the bleeding lasted around a week. Last week we had sex again (oh both times a condom was used) and I was bleeding again and still am.. I looked it up online & it said it could be Chlamydia- bc I was spotting between periods. Also nausea and abdominal pain/cramps.. What are the chances of having an STD if we used a condom and only had sex for a short period of time?
If it's not an STD then what could it be? I also wanna go to a doctor & get tested but I can't without telling my mom- I'm only 15 and don't have a car so I can't go alone. And If I told her I thought I had am STD she would fliippppp & not let me see my boyfriend anymore, we've been together for 11 months. PLEASE HELP.

What you have described could, most certainly, be an STD.
Condoms simply do not protect against STDs at all, not even a little bit. It's been proven that the material condoms are made of are porous enough to allow STDs pass through. In addition to the passing through latex, the condom doesn't actually cover the entire genital region, does it? ;)
You could have had this STD (if it IS an STD) long before having sexual encounters with your recent partner. You can contract STDs from oral sex, vaginal penetration, and even fingering. You can even wind up with oral STDs too, if you engage in oral sex with an infected partner.
You need to tell your mother that you need to see a gynecologist for whatever reason you can get by with. As it is, it is recommend that ALL females go to a gynecologist as soon as they reach puberty enough to be having menstrual cycles. Many girls go because of heavy periods, irregular periods, and even horrible cramps. Many girls go just because they know they need to have check-ups to make sure things are working properly.
If your mother knows about the irregular bleeding you had after that sexual intercourse act then that is a VERY good reason to get checked. She probably thinks it's an abnormal period cycle and break-through bleeding--and it's very true that you'll be getting checked out because of that.
This is your health we're talking about. It isn't something that can just magically go away on it's own. It isn't something you can ignore, look-over and survive through. This could be something very, VERY serious.
Make an appointment and find a way to see the doctor. When you make the appointment make sure to tell them what you told us and request a "full STD screening" just in case.
Even if everything turns out to be well and good and the doctor says you have a clean bill of health then the abnormal bleeding needs to be checked out. Sometimes it can be as simple as not enough vaginal lubrication (doubtful because this would NOT last for a week) or that it was a miscarriage.
For note, condoms are only about 85% effective on preventing pregnancy and not effective at all on preventing STD transmission. Please, take careful note of that. Any sort of contact with a diseased person (or part of the body) can mean transmission--even if you only touch for a second.
Oral sex can spread disease.
Handjobs or fingering can spread disease.
Intercourse, no matter how long it lasts or how far the penis enters the vagina, can spread disease.
Get checked.
You really don't want to wait 5 years down the road and find out your body is severely scarred inside because you were too afraid of your mother saying you can't hang around with your partner anymore. This is a serious thing (and things like this is why people say teens should wait until they're adults to make sexual decisions--this stuff can be downright scary!).
I wish you the best of luck and hope dearly that you take my advice. If you have any more questions please feel free to ask me! :)
