Yes, anytime you have unprotected intercourse, there is the chance of pregnancy.

You don’t mention what pill you skipped or how long you waited to restart a new pack. If you did not make up that missed pill and stopped taking your pills, then you were no longer protected by them.

Taking 5 birth control pills asap after unprotected intercourse and then another 5 twelve hours later is known as the Yutzpe regimen for emergency contraception. It was introduced in the early 1970’s to prevent pregnancy after unprotected intercourse. Due to the high doses of estrogen with this protocol, nausea is a common side effect. Therefore, it is no longer used.

Plan B (and others) are  emergency contraceptives which have been available for about 8-9 years. These are easier, safer and have little to no side effects. Plan B contains a 1.5mg dose of levonorgesterol (a progestin found in most birth control pills). It is most effective when taken within 24 hours after unprotected intercourse, but can be effective when taken as long as 120 hours after unprotected sex. Plan B is available…

i had sex two months ago and just got tested im hiv negative am i okay for good or do i have to go back..

Great news that your HIV test was negative!

Viral infections can take time to show up in the bloodstream. With HSV, it can take about 3 months for the antibodies to start showing up in your blood. Therefore, the general rule is to be retested about 3 to 6 months after the initial test. If the second HIV test is negative, then you’re most likely okay. In the meantime, be diligent about practicing safe sex .  Abstain from sex or use condoms consistently.

me and my boyfriend have had sex alot he came inside me 6 or 7 times can i be pregnant i really want to be

If you are having unprotected intercourse, yes, you could be pregnant. If your next period is more than 1 week late, do a pregnancy test.

So. I had unprotected sex and 60 hours later i took the pill. The clinic said spotting was regular, but I didnt get spotting during the 24 hours the pill was in my system. actually i didnt get any symptoms at all just really tired. anyways, 5 days after the pill i started bleeing, but my period isnt supposed to come until the week after next. so since it was two weeks early, does that mean plan B just messed my cycle up, or could i be pregnant…Im only 15.

Anytime you have unprotected sex, there is the risk of pregnancy.

Plan B helps prevent pregnancy by delaying ovulation. It is most effective when taken within 24 hours after unprotected sex, but can be effective when taken as long as 120 hours (5 days) after unprotected sex.  Because Plan B delays ovulation, it can alter your regular cycle for a month or two. Most people do not have any bleeding within 24 hours.  A period should occur within 2-3 weeks (or sooner) after taking Plan B. Plan B may make your period

I am on birth control pills, but i forgot to take them for a few days. I hadn’t taken them since monday, and my boyfriend and I had sex the following saturday and he ejaculated in me. I started taking two a day to catch up because I wasn’t sure how to catch up on taking them. Is there a strong possibility that I could be pregnant??

Pregnancy is definitely possible. When you forget to take several pills, your hormone level changes and ovulation can occur. You did make up your pills correctly by taking two a day until you are caught up. Once you are caught up, resume the one pill a day schedule. Try to take them around the same time each day. If you don’t have any bleeding during your placebo pills, take a pregnancy test. Repeat the test every two weeks until you have a normal period or get a positive result on your test. Do not stop taking your birth control pills unless you test positive for pregnancy.

If you frequently have trouble remembering to take your pills, you may want to consider a method change.

i started taking birth control for the first time on the first day of my period, seven days later i had unprotected sex and my partner came in me, can i get pregnant or has the birth control become effective by now?

If you took a full week’s worth of pills before you had sex, you should be protected. Also, since you started your method (the pill?) with your period, it is unlikely that you would have ovulated. If you were put on the Depo Provera shot, that becomes effective 24 hours after your first shot.

Missed the day 5 pill by 1.5-2 hours in my birth control pack. Will that make it less effective at all or will I be ok? third month on bc pills. I wasn’t great at taking them at the exact same time the first month but I took that the exact same time everyday from the second month on until this missed one. Will I ovulate this month because of the slightly missed pill?

As long as you are taking your pills everyday within a three hour time period, the pill will remain effective for you. Missing your pill by one to two hours will not affect the pill’s ability to protect you from pregnancy. It’s wonderful that you have been taking your pill so faithfully. Keep up the good work.

what happens if you have sex 5 days after taking a antibiotic for Chlymidia ?

You may not be fully cured and you may transmit the infection to your sexual partner. Also, if your partner has chlamydia, you may become reinfected. Contact the medical provider who treated you and explain the situation. They may want to treat you again and/or test and treat your sexual partner.

ok so i had to stop taking birthcontrol for a month i was completely done with my period that sunday when i started to take my birthcontrol. My boyfriend and i had unprotected sex that day awhile after i took the pill. He didnt pull out fully on time and he ejaculated a little while pulling out. The following day i made sure i took my birthcontrol pill. could i be at high risk for being potentially pregnant?

Since the intercourse occurred right after your period, your risk is not extremely high, but there is still a risk. When restarting the pill, you should wait at least seven full days before engaging in sex without a condom. Ovulation is not likely to occur just after your period, but because of your on and off pill use, it may have. Keep taking your pill as scheduled and do not have any more unprotected sex during the first seven days. Use condoms or do not have sex. Keep in mind that during your first three months of pill use, you may have some menstrual irregularities which may include a missed period. However, if you skip your period by more than a week, take a pregnancy test just to be on the safe side.

My boyfriend wants me to get birth control,I’m most likely going to get the shot..He wants me to so we can have unprotected sex. We would use the pull out method..but is there anything else we can use besides the birth control without having to use condoms?

Abstinence is the only 100% effective form of birth control.

In order for it to be effective, any birth control method must be used correctly and consistently. This applies to condoms, pills, shot, etc. If you started the birth control pills, and took them correctly & consistently, you would probably achieve a 96 to 98% effectiveness rate. The DepoProvera is 99.9% effective, as long as you receive your injections on time. If you are using a hormonal type birth control correctly, you should not need to use condoms. Condoms could be used as a back up method, if needed.

The withdrawal method is about 80 to 85% effective when done correctly. The problem with this method is that accidents can happen…a man could pull out too late. Also, prior to ejaculation, the penis leak pre-ejaculatory fluid (pre cum). This fluid may contain sperm, which could result in pregnancy.

Combining two methods, such as pills and condoms, or pills and withdrawal, provides more effective pregnancy prevention. Discuss this with your partner. Decide which type of birth control method is right for your lifestyle. Would you…
