Any time a couple has unprotected intercourse, there is always a risk of pregnancy.

To address your questions:

Being high or intoxicated usually does not decrease fertility. It does, as you are aware, increase risky behavior (like not using protection).

No, it is not for sure that you’re pregnant, but its not for sure that you’re not. If you don’t get your period within a week or two of when its due, do a pregnancy test.

Urinating after intercourse does not provide any protection from pregnancy. Urine comes out of the urethra, which drains the bladder. The vagina is the entrance to the uterus. The urethra and vagina are two separate “tubes”.  Therefore, “peeing” after sex does not “flush out” sperm.

It is best to consistently use a reliable form of birth control to prevent pregnancy. If you are interested in getting on birth control, please call one of our clinics. Using reliable birth control can really decrease your stress when accidents happen.
