If you are not using a hormonal method of birth control, pregnancy is possible. We would recommend that you use Plan B within 72 hours of the unprotected sex. If he said he ejaculated a little bit inside of you, that is not the same thing as pre-seminal fluid or pre-cum. Pre-seminal fluid may or may not contain sperm; it leaks out of the penis prior to ejaculation. Semen (the fluid that comes out of the penis during ejaculation or when a guy cums) definitely contains sperm (unless the individual is sterile). Please call one of our offices for an appointment for Plan B. We can also talk with you about your birth control options. We will be able to see you the same day.

Comments Off on I was suppose to start a new pack of birth control yesterday at 9pm, I ended up not being able to get it until tomorrow and my boyfriend and I has unprotected sex yesterday and he finished inside. should I take plan b or just start my new pack of birth control tomorrow?
Take Plan B as soon as possible. When you are able to get your new pack of pills, take two pills a day until you are caught up. Then resume the one pill daily schedule. Nausea is a possibility since you will be getting a large dose of hormones. Do not take any of your pills on an empty stomach. Since you are two days late with your regular birth control pills, use a back-up method (like condoms) in addition to the pill or abstain from sexual intercourse for the next two weeks. Your next period may come earlier than usual, later than usual or it may be spotty. If you miss your next period, take a pregnancy test. Repeat the pregnancy test every two weeks until you either get your period or have a positive result. Good luck.

Comments Off on About a week into my 26 day cycle we had a condom failure after he had already finished. The condom had slipped off and was hard to reach and I’m pretty sure there was leakage. It was an n9 condom and I don’t know if that’s enough to protect against pregnancy. If I’m expected to ovulate 3-5 days after this happened, what are the chances of pregnancy occurring?
The non-oxynol 9 in the condom would provide some protection against pregnancy, but we would recommend that you use Plan B as soon as possible to reduce your risk even further (provided you are not using a hormonal method of birth control like the pill or the shot). 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 17 or older, Plan B is available over the counter at most drug stores for about $50-$60. Call the drug store ahead of time to make sure they have it in stock. If you are under age 17, Plan B is only available by prescription in drug stores. Females of any age can receive…

Comments Off on I had unprotected sex one night we used the pullout method but he did come in me right before he pulled out . I got scared decided to take ordinary birth control that night and continued to take it for 6 more nights . I stopped taking them cause I had pains in my lower stomach but will it still prevent a pregnancy ? Doctor told me ordinary birth control doesn’t work like a Plan B One-step but it was an emergency
Your doctor is correct. Taking just one birth control pill daily for seven days does not build up enough hormones in your system fast enough to prevent pregnancy at the time that you needed it (just before and for a few days after you took your first pill). In the future, use Plan B after unprotected sex. Plan B contains a much larger dose of hormones than do ordinary birth control pills. It works best when it is used within the first 24 hours after the unprotected sex, but it can be used up to 72 hours after sex. Better yet – restart the pill or use another reliable method of birth control so there is no need for Plan B. Do not continue to rely on withdrawal only. Hopefully, the unprotected intercourse will not result in a pregnancy. However, if you miss your next period, be sure to take a pregnancy test.

Comments Off on I had sex with my girlfriend while she is on the depo shot ad I didt wear a condom what are the odds of her getting pregnant if we had sex 5 times
Depo-Provera begins working 24 hours after the first injection and continues to work as long as injections are given every 10-13 weeks. It is a very effective method of birth control. According to Contraceptive Technology, only three out of 1000 women who receive their shots on time become pregnant during the first year of use. As long as the first sexual intercourse occurred more than 24 hours after her first injection and as long as your girlfriend is getting her shots on time, there is very little risk of pregnancy.

Comments Off on On the second day of nonactive birth control (will be in a few hours.) My boyfriend’s condom broke about half an hour ago. Can i still get pregnant? What should i do?
As long as you’ve been taking your pills as directed (at the same time everyday) and as long as you have not missed any active pills or taken any late, there is no need to do anything differently. Just be sure to start your new pack of pills on time. Even though you are on your inactive pills, you are still protected from pregnancy by the pill. The hormones in the active pills are still working during your inactive pills.

Comments Off on If I am trying to get pregnant and I have intercourse while I’m on my period and I put a tampon in right after cod thatlower my chances of getting pregnant in any way?
No, it will not lower your chances of becoming pregnant. It is unlikely, however, that you would become pregnant from intercourse during your period, with or without using tampons. If you are trying to become pregnant, the best time to have intercourse is about two weeks prior to the beginning of your period or about one week after the end of your period.

Comments Off on If your pregnate and taking birth control and hve sex what happens ?
First of all, if you know you are pregnant, you should not be using a hormonal method of birth control. You don’t want to expose the fetus to any medications that are not necessary.
However, women who get pregnant while using a hormonal method need not be too alarmed. There’s very little evidence indicating that contraceptive hormone use during pregnancy will harm the baby in any way. According to the Mayo Clinic, “A 2009 study suggested an association between the use of birth control pills during the time of conception and an increased risk of low birth weight or preterm delivery. Also, older research suggested that use of certain birth control pills during pregnancy could pose a risk of developmental problems with a female baby’s sexual organs — such as enlargement of the clitoris. Generally, however, these concerns haven’t been observed in clinical experience.” That being said, women who are using hormones when they learn they are pregnant should stop using them right away.
Regarding sexual activity, a woman with a normal pregnancy can continue to have sexual intercourse up until delivery…

Comments Off on I stop taking birth control two months ago and I had my period a week and half before thanksgiving. The ex boyfriend and I had sex that whole entire weekend and we used the pull out method. My period is really late and I have a lot of cramping and back pain but no period. Food taste gross to me and I have white discharge. Could I be pregnant?
Yes, pregnancy is a possibility. Withdrawal (the pull out method) is not a reliable method of birth control since pre-seminal fluid can contain sperm. Since it has been more than a month since your last period, take a pregnancy test. If the results are negative, we would encourage you to see a medical provider to see why you are experiencing the back pain and cramping which can be caused by a number of different things. If you do not wish to be pregnant, either abstain from sexual intercourse or use condoms. Of course, if the results are positive, you should see a prenatal care provider right away if you plan to continue the pregnancy. Good luck.

Comments Off on i just wonderinq how lonq it takes for trich infection to eveutually ware off. after i took antibiotics…its been about 2 weeks in a half and still feelinq symptoms.. and another queston can the dischange from this infection reinfect me by any chance???… is it possible that the antibiotics didnt work and i need to get some more or shud i wait
If you’re still having symptoms, you need to be re-evaluated by a medical professional. It’s possible that your trich infection may not be resolved and you need another course of treatment. The only way to be reinfected with trich is if you were exposed to the infection again through sexual contact with an infected partner. There is another possibility though. Sometimes, the antibiotic used for trich can cause a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis (BV). Both of these infections can cause symptoms that are similar to the symptoms caused by trich, and both infections can be treated with medication. Call one of our offices for an infection check appointment.
