Family Planning Plus

I was having sex with my girlfriend, I came before she did and we kept going. I pulled out and semen came out on her bed and the condom was still inside her like it usually would be. She is not on birth control, I had her take a shower immediately after, what is the probability she is pregnant and what should we do?

Depending on where your partner is at in her cycle, the risk of pregnancy could be high.When a condom mishap occurs, taking emergency contraception is a good option. Showering after unprotected sex has no benefit, as the sperm have already made it into the uterus. 

Emergency contraception (Plan B, One step), helps prevent pregnancy by delaying ovulation. It contains progestin, a hormone found in birth control pills. ECPs contain a larger dose of progestin than regular birth control pills.  It does not contain estrogen, so it is relatively safe for everyone. ECPs are most effective when taken within 24 hours after intercourse. However, studies also show that they can be effective even when taken as long as 120 hours (5 days) after unprotected sex.

Plan B can be purchased over the counter at most pharmacies by women 17 and older. Teens under 17 require a prescription. It costs around $45, depending on the pharmacy.

If your partner takes Plan B, she may experience some irregular spotting during this next cycle. Her next period may be a little earlier or later than usual….

I had sex with a guy for no more than three minutes. We stopped and he did not come at all. Could I get pregnant?

Anytime you have unprotected intercourse, there is the chance of pregnancy. The amount of time the intercourse lasted does not affect pregnancy risk. 

Prior to ejaculation, men will leak a small amount of pre-ejaculatory fluid from the penis. This fluid (precum) may contain sperm and result in pregnancy.

If your next period is more than one week late, perform a pregnancy test, either at home or in a clinic.

If I complete a month of birth control and then I have unprotected sex. If I get cum inside me will I become pregnant?

Birth control pills are effective after 7 days of daily use. After a month, if you are continuing to take your pills correctly and consistently, then it is very unlikely that you would get pregnant.

Remember that certain antibiotics may decrease the effectiveness of your pills. It is best to either abstain from sex or use codoms the week you’re on the antibiotics and the week after.

my gf had her period two weeks ago and now she is bleeding on and off whats going on

Irregular bleeding and spotting can be normal. It can occur due to stress, illness, or some medications. Most women experience irregularity in their bleeding at some time in their lives. If your partner is on the birth control pill, make sure she is taking the pills correctly and consistently. Missing pills or taking them late will cause spotting, as well as decreasing the effectiveness of the pills. Some irregular bleeding / spotting is common while taking the DepoProvera shot.

However, persistent spotting / bleeding, especially after intercourse, may be a sign of a vaginal infection. If this continues, advise your partner to have an infection check. Family Planning clinics offer free STD screenings. Vaginal infection checks are offerred at little to no cost, depending on household size and income.

i took thedepo shot october 10th 2011 and i was due first week of january and have unpertected sex when i was due for the second shot without knowing i was late and have not had a period could i be pregnate?

The DepoProvera shot is effective for about 13 weeks. Once the due date for the next shot has passed, consider yourself unprotected. After discontinuing the shot, some women have a period right away, some take several months to have a period. Chances are that you will ovulate before you have a bleed. Therefore, it is possible to get pregnant without having a period.

Consider restarting the shot, or starting another long term method of birth control. Condoms, when used correctly and consistently, can be very effective. If you are interested in having a pregnancy test or restarting the shot, Family Planning clinics offer both. Please call to schedule an appointment.

ive been on birth control for about 4 months now. i take it PERFECTLY. recently my boyfriend and i have been having sex without a condom just to get him hard, then he’ll put one on so he can cum. what are the chances of me getting pregnant from pre cum while on birth control?

If you take your birth control pills correctly and consistently,it is unlikely that you would get pregnant.

Is spotting or break through bleeding while on the pill an indication of the pill being any less effective in protecting against pregnancy (such as the hormone dose being too low)? I’ve been taking this generic brand for four months now, and I usually use condoms as well, but have not recently.

If you are taking your pills correctly & consistently, then spotting/ break thru bleeding does not mean they are less effective at preventing pregnancy. It does, however, mean that they are not regulating your cycle as they should be. If this is a persistent problem, meaning you are having break thru bleeding during your hormone pills for more than 3 months in a row, call you healthcare provider. You may need a change in pills to achieve good cycle control and eliminate that irregular bleeding.

I went to the health department std clinic and got tested for hiv and got my results back the same day and it was negative but my question is when they took my blood is there any chance i could get hiv or anything else????? cause since i went i have been sick with a sore throat and have not felt well so…… now im really worried

It is highly unlikely that you were infected with HIV or anything else during the blood withdrawal. It is the state health department’s policy to use a sterile needle and new blood container for each patient. Additionally, universal precautions, like wearing gloves and disposing of used needles, are used.

It takes approximately 6-8 weeks for the HIV antibodies to be detected in your blood.  Therefore, if you were recently infected prior to your test, it could be too soon for the antibodies to reach a level high enough to be detected.

At Family Planning Clinics, we recommend that a person have two HIV tests, especially if he/she has risk factors for this. We advise clients to return for a second HIV test in approximately 3-6 months after the first. In that waiting period, though, it is very important to either abstain from sex or practice safe sex to avoid infection. 

Most likely, the visit to the health clinic and your getting sick is a coincidence. Common colds and viruses can cause a wide range of sick symptoms, including sore throat, fatigue, swollen glands, etc….

is there one little orange pill for a std?

Zithromax (or Azithromycin) is a one dose treatment for chlamydia. It is packaged in many different ways. The CDC recommended dose for chlamydia treatment is Zithromax (Azithromycin) 1 gram (1000 milligrams) by mouth ,for one dose, one time.

Most pharmacies carry 500mg tablets of Zithromax. Therefore, the treatment would consist of (2) 500mg tablets. Some pharmacies have the 1000mg tablets, thus providing a one tablet, one dose treatment. Zithromax tablets are usually, but not always, pink. However, due to the increased use of generic drugs, color may vary depending upon the manufacturer and pharmacy. Zithromax is also packaged as a powder. The powder is mixed with water and then taken.  All forms are effective.

i had sex with my boyfriend today for the first time, i’ve never been on any birth control, i should be getting my period soon, we used a condom and he didnt ejaculate, so he says. should i still take the plan b pill?

Condoms, when used correctly & consistently, can be a very effective method of birth control. If your partner did not ejaculate, or ejaculated outside of you, then pregnancy risk is very low. Even if your partner ejaculated inside you (inside the condom), and there is no evidence of the condom breaking or leaking, the risk is very low. Additionally, if your cycles are regular, and you are sure you’re near your period, then you should be out of your fertile time.  If there was no problem with the condom, Plan B is not necessary.
