Family Planning Plus

You don’t mention what type of birth control you’re using. If you use the birth control pills, patch or vaginal ring: as long as you are using your method correctly and consistently, then you are protected. It takes at least 7 days of continuous use for the each of these methods to be effective. If you are using the DepoProvera injection: as long as you have been receiving your injections on time, as scheduled, and are not late, you are protected from pregnancy. The Depo injection is effective 24 hours after the first dose. Each injection is effective for up to 13 weeks.

If you are using the natural family planning method or rhythm method, then your protection may be compromised. If there were any semen left in his urethra, it could’ve leaked out into your vagina. This may contain sperm and could result in pregnancy.
