Prior to ejaculation, pre-seminal fluid can leak out of the penis (during intercourse). Your partner would not necessarily notice this. Pre-seminal fluid can contain sperm. To be on the safe side, you may want to use Plan B. Plan B consists of one dose of levonorgestrel (a type of hormone that is used in regular birth control pills), is extremely safe to use, and can be taken up to 72 hours after contraceptive failure or unprotected sex to reduce the risk of pregnancy. The sooner you take it, the better it works. According to the manufacturer, approximately 7 out of 8 women who would have gotten pregnant will not become pregnant after taking Plan B.
If you are under 18 years old, Plan B is free at all of our offices. If you are 18 or older, fees are based on household size and income. If your income is low enough, you may be eligible for free services. The most you would pay for Plan B at one of our offices is $30. Please call one of our offices for an appointment. We…

Comments Off on is it bad to have an enlarged uterus and be pregnant because someone told me its bad and im worried..
If you are pregnant, I would expect the uterus to be enlarged. This is due to the growing pregnancy inside of it. Usually, a doctor is able to feel a change in the size (enlargement)of your uterus at around 8-10 weeks gestation.
If you are not currently pregnant, and have an enlarged uterus, ask you doctor about this. Things that can cause uterine enlargement are previous pregnancies/childbirth, fibroids, and tumors. If you’ve already had a child or children, then it is common for the uterus to be larger than normal. Keep in mind, too, that there is a range of normal when talking about the size of a uterus. A uterus can be “small” normal or “large” normal depending on the individual. Again, discuss this with your OB/GYN provider to alleviate any concerns that you have.

Comments Off on My boyfriend and I were having sex and he finished just like normal.when he pulled out the condom got stuck and he pulled his penis out all the way before knowing what happened. as a result semen fell on the base of my vagina. could i get pregnant from that and also is there a possibility that semen went passed the condom and into my vagina because of this?
The male condom, if used without spermicide, has an effectiveness rate of 85% with typical use. What this means: among all couples that use condoms, 15 out of 100 become pregnant in 1 year. The most common reason for failure, besides not using a condom every time, is that the condom breaks, or partially or completely slips off the penis. Slippage is a more common occurrance and happens when the condoms is too large or not held onto when exiting the vagina. It is almost impossible to tell how much, if any semen leaked in to your vagina. If semen leaked on just the outside of the entrance to your vagina, then risk of pregnancy is low.
If you are not taking a long term type of birth control (pill, shot, patch,etc.), then Plan B would be a good option. Plan B is an emergency contraceptive pill that prevents pregnancy by delaying ovulation. It is taken after unprotected intercouse (or contraceptive failure, like in this case). It is most effective when taken within 24 hours. However, research has shown that ECPs can be used…

Comments Off on I had sex with my girlfriend with no condom and she is on bc. She took her bc pill and we had sex and she threw up her pill an hour later. Should we be worried at all? She reguarly takes her bc pills.
Unless she actually saw the birth control pill when she vomited, I would not be too worried. Since she vomited an hour after she took her pill, the pill was probably absorbed by then. If she did see the pill when she vomited, she should contact the medical provider who prescribed her pill. They may give her a replacement pill and further instruction.

Comments Off on me and my boyfriend are sexually active and use the pullout method i just had my period but it was lighter and way shorter, i am spotting now and im tired, craving and my lower back hurts am i pregnant?w
The only way to know if you are pregnant is to take a pregnancy test. The pull out method is not a reliable method of birth control since pre-ejaculate (fluid that leaks out of the penis prior to ejaculation) can contain sperm. If you do not wish to be pregnant, abstain from sexual intercourse or use a reliable method of birth control. Contact one of our offices for an appointment. We can perform a pregnancy test and discuss your birth control options with you. All of our services are strictly confidential.

Comments Off on Me and my boyfriend has been having unprotected sex we never used a condom but i never got pregnant and yesterday and days before we had sex unprotected and i was pose to have a period today? could it be late or could i be pregnant because he says he pulld out but he came inside me a few times while we were having sex.
Yes, pregnancy is a definite possibility. If your period is more than a week late, take a pregnancy test. Just because you’ve had unprotected sex in the past and have not experienced a pregnancy does not mean that you can’t become pregnant now. If your test is negative and you do not want to become pregnant, please use a reliable method of birth control. Contact one of our clinics for an appointment. If you wish, we can perform a pregnancy test and discuss your contraceptive options with you. We also have free condoms available at all of our offices.

Comments Off on i was on antibotics in november and i had unprotected sex in december. i didnt see my period in december but i continue to take my birth control pills. could i be pregnant
If you have been taking your birth control pills as directed, have not missed any pills or taken them late, and as long as the sexual intercourse occurred at least one week after you finished your antibiotic treatment, pregnancy is highly unlikely. Illness and use of certain medications can cause menstrual irregularities (including a missed or late period). Since you did miss a period though, take a pregnancy test just to be on the safe side.

Comments Off on I took plan B one step while on my first row of bieth control pills. should i expect my period to come at the predicted date?
You may notice some irregular spotting during this cycle of pills. Your period may be earlier or later. You may notice that your period is spotty– a day or two of bleeding, then off a day, then bleeding again. This would not be unusual. Continue to take your birth control pill every day and your period will get adjusted within the next month or two.

If you’ve been on the pills for 2 weeks, your birth control is effective. Your pill method, combined with the withdrawal method, means that the chance of pregnancy is very unlikely.
