Condom Lost in Vagina: Pregnancy Concerns and Ovarian Cyst Impact

A condom is stuck in the vagina?

Hello, doctor.
My menstrual cycle last month was about 35 days.
This time it started on August 3, and the last one was on June 25.
I had sexual intercourse on the evening of July 30.
At first, we used a condom, but my boyfriend had been drinking, and after a while, the condom slipped off, and I couldn't find it.
My boyfriend was already drunk and groggy; he vaguely mentioned that he had pulled out, but he was in a deep sleep.
The next day, when I asked him where the condom was, he didn't know.
The following evening (July 31), I found it in the bathroom, and there was some sticky substance inside, but not much.
My boyfriend is also unsure if it was his semen.

1.
I would like to ask the doctor if there is a possibility of pregnancy in this situation, considering that my period has already come.

2.
My period started on August 3, but I went to see a gynecologist, and the urine test indicated that I am not pregnant.

3.
However, the doctor mentioned that I have a cyst.
Is it possible that the cyst could affect the pregnancy test results? Thank you, doctor!

More Info

When it comes to concerns about potential pregnancy after a condom has been lost in the vagina, it's important to consider several factors. Based on your description, it seems that you had sexual intercourse on July 30, and your menstrual cycle is typically around 35 days. Your next expected period would have been around August 3. You mentioned that you found the condom the next day, and it contained some fluid, but you were unsure if it was semen.

1. Pregnancy Concerns: Given that your menstrual period arrived on August 3, it is a strong indicator that you are not pregnant. The onset of menstruation typically signifies that ovulation did not result in fertilization. Additionally, you mentioned that a urine pregnancy test conducted by your doctor was negative, which further supports the conclusion that you are not pregnant.
2. Impact of Ovarian Cysts: You also mentioned that your doctor found a "water cyst" (likely referring to a functional ovarian cyst). Functional ovarian cysts are common and usually harmless. They can occur during the menstrual cycle and are typically filled with fluid. These cysts generally do not affect the results of a pregnancy test. Pregnancy tests measure the hormone hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin), which is produced after a fertilized egg implants in the uterus. Since functional cysts do not produce hCG, they should not interfere with the accuracy of a pregnancy test.

3. Understanding Ovarian Cysts: Ovarian cysts can sometimes cause symptoms such as pelvic pain, irregular menstrual cycles, or pressure symptoms, but they are often asymptomatic and resolve on their own. If you have been diagnosed with a cyst, it is essential to follow up with your healthcare provider to monitor its size and any potential symptoms. Most functional cysts do not require treatment unless they cause significant discomfort or complications.

4. Next Steps: If you continue to have concerns about your menstrual cycle or any symptoms related to the cyst, it is advisable to keep in touch with your healthcare provider. They may recommend periodic ultrasounds to monitor the cyst or further evaluation if you experience any unusual symptoms.

In summary, based on the information provided, it is unlikely that you are pregnant, especially since your period has started and the pregnancy test was negative. The presence of a functional ovarian cyst should not affect the accuracy of pregnancy testing. If you have any further concerns or experience new symptoms, do not hesitate to reach out to your healthcare provider for personalized advice and management.
