I began BC Mid May and had a period May 24th – 29. Had unprotected sex many times before my nect period which was light i was taking my BC but not at the same time every day , As of June 19 I stopped BC because i was feeling nauseous Started my period either the 20th or 26th of June cant remember and no period in July could i have gotten pregnant in June because my last period was Light and short?

Any time you have unprotected intercourse, there is a risk of pregnancy.

You state that your last period was in June, and no period in July. What about August thru December? If you’ve not have a period for 6 months, have you done a pregnancy test? If you are pregnant (from June), you would be “showing” by now and feeling fetal movement. If you’ve been consistently having unprotected intercourse, then you could have gotten pregnant at another point in time.

There are circumstances when women may have hormonal imbalances which prevent them from getting periods.

Nausea is a common side effect when first starting the birth control pills. You started mid May and stopped mid June.  One month is not enough time for your body to get adjusted to being on the pill. Usually any side effects go away after the 3rd month.

Please call one of our clinics to schedule a pregnancy test. If you are interested in restarting birth control, we can also discuss that.

My boyfriend finished inside me, and I took my pill literally right after he did. is it still effective?

It was not clear from your question what type of pill you took. If you took Plan B or the morning after pill, then yes, it will reduce your risk of pregnancy and you took it at an opportune time that will increase its effectiveness. If you are on regular birth control pills, if you have been taking them at the same time everyday, and if it has been over a week since you started taking the pill, then yes, it is effective. The timing between sexual intercourse and when you take your birth control pill does not matter. You just need to take it at the same time everyday so you’re getting a continual steady dose of hormones. If it was just one lone regular birth control pill and you did not take any other pills prior to that one, then no, it is not effective.

i had unprotected sex like four days ago and my boyfriend was highly intoxicated and nutted inside me, is there any way i wont be pregnant or is it a forsure that i am ? i peed right after ? help please.

Any time a couple has unprotected intercourse, there is always a risk of pregnancy.

To address your questions:

Being high or intoxicated usually does not decrease fertility. It does, as you are aware, increase risky behavior (like not using protection).

No, it is not for sure that you’re pregnant, but its not for sure that you’re not. If you don’t get your period within a week or two of when its due, do a pregnancy test.

Urinating after intercourse does not provide any protection from pregnancy. Urine comes out of the urethra, which drains the bladder. The vagina is the entrance to the uterus. The urethra and vagina are two separate “tubes”.  Therefore, “peeing” after sex does not “flush out” sperm.

It is best to consistently use a reliable form of birth control to prevent pregnancy. If you are interested in getting on birth control, please call one of our clinics. Using reliable birth control can really decrease your stress when accidents happen.

if my periods were on time every month and now they are back to irregular, is it a sign that my birth control pills have finally worn off?

It was not clear from your question whether you are currently using birth control pills or whether you recently stopped using them.  If you are currently using them, the contraceptive effect of birth control pills doesn’t just wear off (as long as you are using them correctly – taking them at the same time everyday).  However, your body may have changed and now needs a different type of pill to maintain regular menstrual cycles. If this is the case, contact the medical provider who prescribed your pill and describe your menstrual irregularities.  

If you recently stopped the pill, the contraceptive effect wears off almost immediately in most individuals. You may ovulate the very next month after stopping. Once you stop using the pill, your menstrual cycles almost always revert to the way they were before you used the pill.

I had sex before starting my birthcontrol pills .. right the next day I started can I still get pregnat ?

Depending on where you were at in your menstrual cycle, there is a risk of pregnancy.  If you started your pills the Sunday after your period, then your risk of pregnancy is lower. If you started them in the middle of your cycle, then the risk is greater. Birth control pills take approximately 7 days until they are effective.

Continue taking your pills, every day, at the same time. If you don’t get your period by the end of your “sugar” pills, do a pregnancy test.

Had sex on December 15th today is the 31 and I just got my period I’m not suppose to start till the 5th and my period is a lot light it was protected sex and I’m not on birth control…is anything wrong or is this normal

Menstrual changes can occur for a number of different reasons.  Early menstrual periods are usually caused by imbalanced hormonal levels.  Hormone levels change for many reasons – pregnancy is just one. Illnesses and certain medications can sometimes change hormone levels. Anxiety and other forms of emotional daily stress can also affect the timing of periods. 

 However, since your period was lighter than normal, I would take a preganncy test just to be on the safe side. I am assuming that you used a condom during the sexual intercourse on December 15. Condoms are effective if they are used correctly. Did you use the condom from start to finish (was the penis covered before there was any contact at all with the vagina)? Was the condom intact at the end of intercourse and did he immediately remove the penis from the vagina after ejaculation by holding onto the rim or base of the condom while removing? Sometimes semen can leak out of the top of the condom if the penis is not immediately removed. Sometimes it can come off inside the woman during…

I’ve been taking my birth control pills for for two months and i missed three pills and had sex but he used tbe pullout method my period is lighter and shorter could i be pregnant?

Yes, pregnancy is possible. When you missed three consecutive days of pills, your hormone levels may have changed enough for ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary) to occur. The fact that you did have some bleeding is promising though, as the majority of women do not have bleeding during pregnancy. Take a pregnancy test right way. If negative, wait three weeks and then repeat the test.  In the meantime, do not stop taking your birth control pills (unless you are pregnant). Hopefully, you made your pills up correctly by taking two pills a day until you were caught up. If you frequently forget to take pills, you may want to consider switching to a different method of birth control.  If you would like more information about your contraceptive options, feel free to contact one of our offices.

I had unprotected sex after two days after my period so i took a Plan B one step. With 4 to 5 day later i had another period which was heavier beyond believe. What is the likelyhood of me beeing pregnant and when should expect my next cycle to occur if both of my periods came within several days from each other. Should i just wait to see what happens and if should what would be a good time frame?

The likelihood that you are pregnant is extremely low.  Use of Plan B can cause many different types of menstrual irregularities including the type of bleeding that you described. If you normally have 28 day cycles (from beginning of one period to the beginning of the next), your next period will probably come approximately 28 days after the beginning of the second episode of bleeding that you experienced.  However, it could come earlier or later as well. Please remember that Plan B should not be used as a regular method of birth control as it is intended to be used for emergencies only. If you plan to continue to have sexual intercourse, please contact one of our offices for an appointment to start some type of regular birth control.

my last period was dec 13-18 my husband and I had unprotected sex dec 31 and jan 1 what are the chances i could become pragnant.

Anytime a couple has unprotected intercourse there is always a chance of pregnancy, but the risk can depend on where you’re at in your cycle.

 “A cycle” is considered to be from the first day of one period to the first day of the next period. Say a woman has regular 28 day menstrual cycles, her “fertile time” would start around day 10, with the peak being ovulation, typically on day 14.  So, this woman’s fertile days would be days 10 to 14. After day 16, the egg is usually gone, and pregnancy is less likely.  However, several things can “screw up” your cycle (stress, lack of sleep, illness, medications), making them shorter or longer thus altering your ovulation date. Keep in mind, too, that sperm can survive in the vagina for up to 3 days. 

Day 1 of your cycle would have been December 13th. For a 28 day cycle then, ovulation time would be around December 25th. Theoritically, having unprotected intercourse 6 days after ovulation should decrease your risk of pregnancy. If you do not get your next period on time, do a…

i had sex with my boyfriend a week before i started taking back my birth control pills,it was only for a few minutes…i was wondering if i can be pregnant as i have not seen my period for this month as yet

Yes, pregnancy is possible. If you have missed your period, contact one of our offices for a pregnancy test appointment. If you prefer, you can purchase an over-the-counter pregnancy test from a drug store.  For best results, follow the instructions completely, use first morning urine, and do not drink any fluids before your test. In the meantime, do not stop taking your birth control pills (unless you test positive for pregnancy).
