Family Planning Plus

Me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex yesterday morning and now today I have a throat infection and put on antibiotics. Should i wait to take the antibitoic if he just came inside of me yesterday?

I am assuming you are on the pill. Contact the provider who prescribed the pill for you to see if the antibiotic decreases the effectiveness of the pill. Let them know the name and dosage of the antibiotic. Follow their recommendations.

Does plan b effect my baby if I’m breast feeding . What are the chances of me being pregnant again my baby is only one month old

Plan B is safe to use during breastfeeding since it does not contain any estrogen. However, if you are exclusively breastfeeding (not supplementing at all with formula), use of Plan B is unnecessary. As long as you have not had a period and are exclusively breastfeeding, birth control use is not necessary for up to six months.

What is the percentage rate or how likey is a woman to get pregnant if she started her period the next day after having unprotected sex? She was on her period for the normal days that she usually has.

Since she had a normal period, pregnancy is highly unlikely. However, please don’t risk unprotected intercourse again. Use condoms or talk with your girlfriend about the possibility of her starting a hormonal method of birth control. If you live near one of our clinics, please call for an appointment. We have free condoms available at all of our offices. If you live further away, contact the Family Planning or Planned Parenthood office closest to you.

The condom broke (1/29), but he hadn’t ejaculated, but I am sure there was pre-cum. I am on the pill, and I take it as scheduled, everyday. I am due to get my period next Tuesday (2/7). Even though I am regular with my pill taking, he had not ejaculated, and the condoms had spermicide, I am still very nervous. Should I have taken Plan B? How likely is it that I am pregnant?

Pregnancy is highly unlikely. Plan B use is unnecessary. Of course, if you miss your next period, take a pregnancy test. But since you are taking your pill regularly and he did not ejaculate, it is highly unlikely that you would experience a pregnancy.

I took my nuvaring out and forgot to put my new one in. My boyfriend came inside of me and I wasn’t on birth control. I put my ring In the next day can I be pregnant?

Yes, pregnancy is possible since you lengthened the amount of time that you were without hormones. If it has been less than five days since the unprotected sex, use the morning after pill. If you miss your next period, take a pregnancy test. Repeat the test every two weeks until you have a normal period or your test is positive. Good luck!

I was having sex with a condom on but when i took my penis out the condom was broken. I didn’t cum inside of her but im not sure if i ‘precummed’ and apperantly pre cum can get a girl pregnant? it’s been 5 days and she’s feeling really sick right now and she hasn’t took any morning pills. Is it too late to take morning pills? Can she be pregnant?

Yes, it is too late to take the morning after pill, and pre-ejaculatory fluid can cause a pregnancy. However, It is unlikely that the nausea your partner is feeling is because of a pregnancy – it’s a bit too early for that. She most likely is just ill. Wait until her next period. If she misses it, have her take a pregnancy test.

Make sure you are using condoms correctly:

check the expiration date to be sure it is not expired prior to use.
store condoms at room temperature in a sharps free environment.
never use oil-based lubricant with a latex condom.
pinch the tip of the condom between the thumb and forefinger while rolling it onto the erect penis to ensure that there is no air pocket in the tip of the condom.
smooth out the sides of the condom once it has been rolled on to ensure there are no air pockets in the sides of the condom.
hold onto the rim or base of the condom while removing the penis from the vagina to prevent it from slipping off inside the vagina during removal.

You…

I am on the pill and have been consistently for about 3 years. This month I missed a single pill and doubled up the next day as described. My boyfriend I had sex multiple times (3) during the month, each time using the withdrawl method correctly. Are we at high risk? I’ve missed my period but have also been on an extremely low calorie diet and have been working out more. Any advice?

Since you only missed one pill and you made it up correctly, the likelihood of pregnancy is low. A change in diet and exercise can cause a missed period. However, since the pill is not 100% effective, take a pregnancy test just to be on the safe side. Keep taking your pill as directed. If you miss a second period, contact the medical provider who prescribed your pill.

me and my boyfriend had sexual intercourse withoit protection.. i had been takin my pill, but i forgot that day, so i took it after, and carried on as normal each day after. whats the risks?

The risk is extremely low if you missed your pill by less than 24 hours. Of course, if you miss your next period, take a pregnancy test just to be sure.

I had sex with my boyfriend a little while ago and he was using a condom. Around the time my period was due I got spotting. Note, I’ve been super stressed lately. Could I be pregnant?

Pregnancy is unlikely if the condom was used correctly and as long as there was no penis-vagina contact prior to the condom being rolled on. Stress can cause menstrual irregularities. However, condoms are not 100% effective. The only way to know for sure if you are pregnant is to take a pregnancy test. Repeat the test every two weeks until you have a normal period or a positive result.

You may want to consider a longer term method of birth control like the pill or the shot. If you live near our service area, contact one of our offices for an appointment. We can run a pregnancy test and discuss your birth control options with you. If you live far away, contact the Family Planning or Planned Parenthood office nearest you. Good luck!

i have been on birth control for years and always faithful about taking the pill. My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex, usually I start my period on the 3rd day of the placebos. It is now the last and I start the regular pills tomorrow. The problem is that I am showing little signs of starting. What is going on?

If you have not missed any pills, pregnancy is highly unlikely. However, the pill is not 100% effective. Even when used perfectly, it is possible to become pregnant. Take a pregnancy test, just to be sure.

That being said, some women do skip a period every now and then while using the pill. Contact the medical provider who prescribed the pill for you and explain that you have missed a period. Follow their recommendations.
