Sti’s

This past February I got dumped. It was almost a 3 year relationship and I was going to be moving to Florida for this boy. And not a month before I was supposed to move he told me he cheated on me multiple times over the course of months, even after he met my family for the first time.

Fast forward to the break up stage. I downloaded Tinder in the hopes of finding people who found me attractive and potentially a relationship. Since then end of February I’ve had 4 different hook up session.

The most recent two being about 2 weeks ago. A Saturday night fling. And a Monday night dinner date with an added bonus.

The Tuesday after my last hookup. I experienced a lot of discomfort in my lady garden. I chalked it up to just being to rough the night before. Flash forward to Wednesday. Still discomfort so I treated over the counter for a yeast infection after getting several opinions including my pharmacist at my job.

I chose a one day treatment. Problems persisted so I continued with a 3 day treatment in the hopes of better results. Because the one day treatment did help a little. Friday rolls around and I’ll still uncomfortable so I skip the 3rd night of treatment thinking that I’m just experiencing issues with the treatments.

Continuing through the weekend with cooling cloths and anti itch creams.

Sunday afternoon I experienced the absolute worst case of nausea I have ever come across in my 22 years.

I took it easy and just took things slow, knowing Monday morning I could call the women’s health center and make an appointment.

Thankfully there was a cancellation on monday and I was able to get in that day.

Proceeded with a general examination to figure out what was going on. Come to find out there was a yeast infection going on that was a little more persistent than I wanted. But while I was there I also took a urine test for CG(and another letter) just to be on the safe side because I should get tested after having multiple sexual partners.

Fast forward to today.

I get the call that my STI results are back. I prefer emails. So she emailed me my results but left a message saying they were in.

I have chlamydia.

How could this happen to me is all I could think. But then I realized. One of my sexual partners and i didn’t use any protection. I do have the IUD and therefore am protected against pregnancy but not STI/STDs.

That’s when it made sense. Because who else could it have been.

I contacted both of my recent partners and told them they should get checked because I was clean up until my encounters with them. One unprotected. One protected. Unprotected guy claims to be clean as he apparently gets tested every few months. Protected guy says he will get checked but said know it’s not from me.

So here I am. Just trying to enjoy my life and feel good in my own skin. And I contract a treatable infection.

I’m beyond grateful for it being one that is treatable. But I’m so angry that after the shit relationship I was finally free from, I get hit with this shit. Meanwhile my ex’s dumb ass is winning a hundred dollars off of damn scratch off tickets.
