    I've got a yeast infection at the moment, have been to doc and should hopefully be sorted in about a week or so. My problem is I've a new bf, only been with him a few weeks and obv can't really have sex with him over the next week. Should I just tell him the truth or do guys get a bit freaked out about that sort of thing?? I would tell him that I have my period but it's due next week so it would look a bit weird if I had a two week long one!!

    The joys of being a girl!!!

    Any advice??

    If you haven't had sex with him yet make him wait a bit longer and say nothing.

    Tell him the truth - you can't have sex with him, you'll just end up with a recurring infection. If he has an ounce of sense, he'll appreciate that!

    Op again.

    I've already had sex with him and hes been away for a little while so he'll be expecting it now that he's back.

    I think honesty might be the best policy. Hopefully he will understand.

    depends if you've had sex before or not, if you have had sex and you dont tell him..he will wonder...if you haven't has sex yet, then you can just make him wait a bit longer without having to tell him exactly why.

    i get the feeling you have a sexual relationship though so i'd say tell him, you dont need to explain too much just say you have a mild infection so best to put off the sex for a bit. leave it at that unless he fishes for details lol. (which men rarely do)

    Tell him. Or else he'll be posting on here saying " my new girlfriend is avoiding sex and I think she's gone off me". :D

    Most men who have had girlfriends are well aware of periods and thrush and cystitis. All those fun things us ladies endure.

    This would be a nice test of what kind of person he is tbh, tell him and if his reaction is "oh well that happens to women, I get it, I can wait" then all good, these things happen, if he's an adult he should know this and its not the end of the world, sucks for you though

    Oh definitely tell him. This happened with my girlfriend a month after we met and she didn't tell me because she was too embarrassed and thought I would be freaked out by it so instead I got to spend an unhappy week wondering why she was avoiding anything that might lead to sex and worrying like mad that she was going off me!! She only told me months later that that was what it had been!
