Family Planning Plus

I had unprotected sex and took the morning after pill about 22 hours later. I had my period a few days later which was light. But now I’m worried because it looks as if I have a baby bump but I’m not sure. Could I be pregnant??

If you had a period after the Plan B, it is unlikely that you are pregnant. Plan B may make your period come earlier or later than usual. Your period may be lighter or spottier than usual.  It should return to normal next month. Your “baby bump” may be due to bloating, gas or recent weight gain.

While the Plan B is very effective, especially when taken within 24 hours after unprotected intercourse, it is not 100%. Plan B prevents pregnancy by delaying ovulation. It does not terminate an already existing pregnancy, nor does it harm an existing pregnancy. If you have be having unprotected sex, and became pregnant prior to this incident, taking Plan B would not make any difference.

For more information and peace of mind, you may want to perform a home pregnancy test.

My boyfreind and I had last tuesday, we used to condom and we only had sex for a couple minutes before we stopped. before we had sex though, he took the condom off and put it back on. Could I be pregnant?

Anytime you have unprotected intercourse, there is the risk of pregnancy. In order to be most effective, condoms must be placed on the erect penis prior to insertion into the vagina.

During arousal it is common for the penis to leak pre-ejaculatory fluid. This fluid (pre cum) may contain sperm, which could result in pregnancy.

If your next period is more than 1 week late, do a pregnancy test, either at home or at a clinic.

I had sex 5 weeks after giving birth and the condom broke can I take plan b if I’m breast feeding

Plan B is considered safe for use during breastfeeding. While estrogen and progestin do pass through breast milk, the amount is not significant enough to cause any harm. Plan B should not cause any change in the quality or quantity of your breast milk supply.

If you are breastfeeding every 2-4 hours, it is unlikely, but not impossible, that you would ovulate. You may want to discuss this further with your ob/gyn doctor and consider starting a long term method of birth control.  

I tested positive for a home pregnancy test last night. I have genital herpes which I am taking medication for. I have had sex once 1 day after my last period., could the herpes medication make me test positive for a pregnancy test?

The herpes medication will not affect the result of your pregnancy test.

i have never had sex and my parents dont have any std’s but i have vaginal discharge

If you’ve never had sex before, then there should be no risk of sexually transmitted infections. It is not possible to be infected through casual every day (non sexual) touching.

Vaginal discharge is normal. This discharge helps to maintain the vaginal pH level and prevent infections. The color and amount of discharge varies, depending on your cycle.

In the middle of your menstrual cycle, when you are most likely to be fertile, vaginal discharge is thin, clear and increased in amount. During the time right before your period, when you are least fertile, discharge tends to be thicker, creamier and white in color, and less in amount. This white discharge may dry yellow on your panties or pad. During your period, bright red to brown bleeding/discharge is normal.

Younger women tend to have more vaginal discharge, while older women (near menopause) tend to have less discharge. This is due to the decrease in estrogen levels as we age.

Abnormal vaginal discharge may be a symptom of a vaginal infection. Some infections, like chlamydia and gonorrhea, may be sexuallly transmitted. Other infections,…

Last night i had unprotected sex with my boyfriend, I’ve been on birth control for 4 years. Yesterday would be my 6th day on the first row of my pills and today is the 7th. He didn’t come inside of me but i’m still worried that there may be a chance of pregnancy. Should I take plan B?

If you have been taking your birth control pills correctly & consistently, the chance of pregnancy is unlikely. You do not need to take Plan B. Continue to take your pills every day. Keep in mind that condoms are a good back up birth control method to use along with the pills.

I’m on birth control and me and my boyfriend always use a condom. We has sex on thursday but the condom broke and we stopped right away. I was supposed to start my period on Friday…but I still have no signs of my period. Could I be pregnant?

If you have been taking your birth control pills correctly and consistently, the risk of pregnancy is very low.

Many women require several hormone free days before a withdrawal bleed occurs. Simply put, most women do not begin their periods on the first day of the placebo (sugar) pills. It is not uncommon for bleeding to begin as late as the 4th or 5th day of the placebos. The birth control pills work by thinnning the uterine lining, thus making periods lighter and shorter. Sometimes, though, the uterine lining is so thin that little to no bleeding may occur. 

If you have little to no bleeding this cycle, begin a new pack of pills on time,. Continue to take the pills every day. You should have more of a normal period with your next cycle.

I have been on birth control for about 4 months now and me an my boyfriend have sex without condoms all the time and he cums inside me. I started spotting the day i was supposed to start my period and it continue throughout the rest of my period. Ive also been peeing alot and moody but i dont get nauseous so is there a chance i can be pregnant?

If you have been taking your birth control correctly and consistently for the past 4 months, the risk of pregnancy is low.

Frequent urination can be a sign of a urinary tract infection, so you may want to call your doctor for an appointment. The doctor will probably request a urine sample to be tested for infection. Antibiotics are used to treat these infections.

Moodiness could be due to several factors. Stress, change in diet or sleep patterns, birth control pills can cause mood changes. Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) can cause increased moodiness the week before and the week of your period.

If your moodiness continues, discuss your concerns with your health care provider.

i had unprotected sex with my bf during my 3rd day of my 7dayfreebreak but he pulled out , he didn cum inside . n0w its my 6th day of my 7dayfreebreak but until now i dont have my period :cc am i pregnant ? IM ONLY 17

If you have been taking your birth control pills correctly and consistently, then you are still protected during the 7 day hormone free (sugar pills) week. Be sure to begin a new pack on time, as scheduled and continue to take your pills on a daily basis.

The pills work by thinning the uterine lining; this is why the pills helps to shorten and lighten your period. Some months, period bleeding may be very light. This is okay.

If you have not been a good pill taker, still begin a new pack on time. Try to be diligent about taking the pill every day, at the same time. If your next period does not come as usual, do a pregnancy test.

My boyfriend fingered me but never touched himself And I’m pretty sure you can’t get pregnant fro
