Family Planning Plus

My boyfriend and I had protected sex, and the morning after i took the plan b pill.Later that night we had sex again. first with a condom, then tried it without. He didn’t cum inside me, but could i still be pregnant from any semen left around my vagina or his penis? Also could the plan b pill taken that morning prevent me from being pregnant from the sex that night?

Anytime you have unprotected intercourse, there is the risk of pregnancy.

Plan B helps prevent pregnancy by delaying ovulation. When taken within 24 hours after unprotected sex, it is about 75% to 80% effective. The Plan B that you took in the morning would probably still be effective for the unprotected intercourse that you had that night. However, having repeated incidents of unprotected sex after Plan B could actually increase your risk of pregnancy, depending on where you’re at in your cycle. So be sure to use condoms until you have your next period.

If your next period is more than 1 week late, do a pregnancy test.

im on the pill and shot and i stopped taking the pill and i let my boyfriend cum in me can i get pregnant

It is unusual for a woman to be on the birth control pills and the Depo injection at the same time. However, if you were taking the birth control pills for a month or two to help decrease bleeding, then the Depo would still be considered your primary birth control method. (Irregular bleeding and spotting can sometimes be a common side effect of the Depo injection.)

If you are current with your injections, you are still protected from pregnancy, even if you discontinued the pills.

i had sex once last month my husband came inside. this month im 14 days lated but took 3 test they are negitive can i be pregrnant?

Anytime you have unprotected intercourse, there is the chance of pregnancy. However, it you have done 3 pregnancy tests at different times during the past 2 weeks, you most likely are not pregnant.

Many things can disrupt your menstrual cycle, making it come early, late, or sometimes, not at all. Things likes stress, illness, or changes in diet, exercise or sleep patterns can all affect your cycle.

At this point, wait until next month. If you still do not have a period, you may want to follow up with your doctor to have this checked out.

I had an incident with my boyfriend. We were drinkin and had Sex and the condom split. A few hours after this I ran to the drug store and took plan B. We had had sex a few times that evening and we were under the influence of alcohol. Long story short, one of the times we had sex the condom slipped off and being in an intoxicated state he didnt notice and neither did I. I took Plan be Sunday and the incident happened on Sunday. But today…tuesday…i found the lost condom inside me. Will Plan B still be effective and have done the job?

Plan B is not 100% effective, but it does reduce the risk of pregnancy. Plan B One-step is a pill you can take after unprotected sex to reduce the risk of pregnancy. It works best if it is used within the first 24 hours after sex but can be used up to 120 hours (or five days) after unprotected sex with decreased effects after the first three days.  The sooner you use Plan B, the more effective it is. Your timely use of the medication increases the likelihood that Plan B will work for you. However, its effectiveness also depends on the timing of your menstrual cycle. If you ovulated just before taking Plan B, it is less likely to work for you.

Plan B works by delaying ovulation (the monthly release of an egg), and possibly by interfering with fertilization (the union of sperm and egg) and implantation (when the fertilized egg implants itself into the uterine lining). If you are already pregnant, it will not terminate the pregnancy. According to the manufacturer, the treatment prevents seven of eight pregnancies that otherwise would have occurred.

As I’m sure…

i just ended my period yesterday and last night i had unprotected sex with my husband he ejaculated inside me 3 to 4 times, then today i started spotting i know its early but could i be pregnant?

Intercourse that occurs just before, during or just after the menstrual period is unlikely to result in pregnancy. The spotting you experienced is most likely the tail end of your period. If you are attempting pregnancy and have regular 28 day cycles, you are most likely to become pregnant around day 14 (with day 1 being the first day of your period). If you are interested in learning how to chart your menstrual periods to determine your most fertile days, contact your regular medical care provider or look in the yellow pages for a provider who offers instruction in natural family planning. Good luck!

I have been on my period for a few days now, and today I thought my period was ended because I went for a few hours without bleeding. My boyfriend and I had sex tonight, and afterwards both of our privates were covered in blood (this was my third time having intercourse with anyone) Later on in the night the bleeding became excessive- as in worse than a period would be and I had clots. I’ve never had this issue before, is it something to be concerned about?

Many women experience breaks in bleeding and blood clots during their periods. During your period, your body releases anticoagulants that keep the blood from clotting. However, when the flow is strong and blood is being expelled rapidly, the blood may pass before the anticoagulants can work. In this case, the blood may clot as it is passed.

Keep in mind that the thickness of the uterus lining is different from one month to the next so your period may be heavier in some months which may make it more likely for clots to develop.

Unless the bleeding worsens or continues for longer than a normal period, I wouldn’t worry about it. However, if you experience pain that is worse than normal cramping with your bleeding or your bleeding intensifies and does not stop after a few more days, contact your regular medical care provider.

I’m two weeks late on my period. Although, I’ve not had much of a regular period in the past, I feel two weeks is too long of a time for something not to be up. I’ve taken two pregnancy tests. The first was the first week after my missed period and the second was the second week after my missed period. Both tests were negative. However, I did have unprotected sex about a month ago. Also, I have a few symptoms that I would barely associate with pregnancy. I have been craving food more and I have gotten nauseous after eating a few times. I feel mildly bloated, but I’m not sure if that’s just my period waiting to happen. I was wondering if there was anything else that could delay my period.

 Menstrual irregularities (including missed or late periods) can occur for a number of different reasons. Pregnancy is just one possibility.  Irregular periods can be caused by hormonal imbalances, perimenopause, illness or infection, use of certain medications, and other more serious conditions.  Women who are dieting or exercising excessively may also skip periods. In addition, increased stress levels and changes in routine may affect the regularity of menstrual cycles.  

Since you are experiencing nausea, I would repeat the pregnancy test in two weeks. Be sure to use first morning urine and do not drink anything prior to your test. If it is still negative and you miss a second period, you should probably be evaluated by a medical professional to determine the cause.

In the meantime, watch out for the following early pregnancy symptoms, keeping in mind that each pregnancy is different and each woman may experience different symptoms or no symptoms at all.  Early pregnancy symptoms include the following: implantation bleeding (many women do not experience this but when it occurs, it consists of spotting and cramping anywhere from 6 to 12 days after…

my ovulation day was march 27 and I had sex the 25,26,27 can I be pregnant?

Yes, you could be pregnant. If you truly ovulated on the 27th, you had intercourse during your most fertile days. If you are one week or more late for your next period, take a pregnancy test.

This month I lost my virginity, we used a condom and we checked it, it had no leaks and was not broken. I came on my period bang on time and was fairly regular (wet with blood) then for another two days was very light and it was brown. Help?

I’m assuming that your period was a little different than it normally is. However, the period you described is quite normal for many women.  The brown discharge you noted at the end of your period was most likely older blood that had not been expelled in a timely fashion. Most women will experience an irregular period at some point in their lives.

The menstrual cycle and periods can be affected by many things including stress, diet, illnesses, medications, exercise, and even a change in routine. Moving into a new situation (like beginning a sexual relationship) may have caused the change in your period.

If you are worried about a potential pregnancy, take a pregnancy test. However, since you used a condom, your risk is very low. If you are going to continue to have sex, be sure to use a condom every time.

So i had sex more than once in the beginning of a new pack of my birth control , and now a couple days later I am having brown discharge what does this mean ? Should i stop taking my pills ?

No, do not stop taking your pills. As long as this was not your very first pack of pills (meaning you used the pill last month and there was no gap in time between your two packs) and as long as you have been taking your pill around the same time every single day, the pill should have protected you from becoming pregnant. However, if this was your very first pack of pills and the sex occurred during the first week of your pills, pregnancy is possible. Also missing pills or taking them late can sometimes cause spotting and increase the risk of pregnancy. If you don’t have any bleeding during the placebo pills, take a pregnancy test. If it is negative, repeat the test in two weeks just to be sure. Again, do not stop taking the pill unless you test positive for pregnancy.

If you continue to have irregular bleeding or spotting and you are taking your pills correctly, contact the provider who prescribed your pill.
