My girlfriend and I had unprotected sex 8 weeks ago, and I pulled out and did not cum inside her. Since then she has taken 6 pregnancy tests, 2 of which came back positive, the other 4 negative. She was on birth control and taking it regularly. This past week she went to see a doctor who took a blood test and called back with the results and said, “something is wierd with your blood”. we know she has a cyst on her stomach and this causes her to bleed a little bit. Also, she has continued to take her birth control, as well as drink alcohol. She took a pill perscribed by her doctor to force her to have a period, since she didnt know when her next one would be. The doctor asked her to come back for an ultrasound next week. Is she pregnant? We really need help please, we are both extremely stressed out at the moment.

This is beyond our scope of care. Your girlfriend needs to contact the medical provider who has been evaluating her. Before calling the doctor, you and your girlfriend should jot down some questions that you would like to ask. Best of luck!

I just started taking birth control 5 days ago, on the fifth day me and my boyfriend had sex with a condom but the condom fell off inside of me. Once we realized this we immediately stopped after that and he did not cum inside of me. What are the chances of me being pregnant?

Pre-ejaculatory fluid may have leaked into the vagina when the condom slipped off. This fluid can contain sperm so pregnancy is possible but your risk is pretty low. Your risk would have been much higher if he had ejaculated inside the vagina. You were right to stop when the condom slipped off. Continue to take your pills at the same time each day. Do not stop taking your pill unless you have a positive pregnancy test.

Since you just started the pill, you may have some menstrual irregularities during your first three months of use. These irregularities may include a missed period. However, if you miss your next period, take a pregnancy test just to be on the safe side. If it is negative and you also miss your next period, repeat the test just to be sure.

My boyfriend and I had sex, and he wore a condom. But, when he pulled out because he was about to cum, it came out of the condom. I don’t think he cum inside, but I’m unsure of there was a hole in the condom or not. If there was, could pre-ejaculatory fluid have entered in? Could I be pregnant?

If there was a hole in the condom or if the condom slipped off inside of you when he was pulling out, it is possible that pre-ejaculatory fluid may have leaked out inside of you. This fluid can contain sperm so pregnancy is possible. However, the risk of pregnancy would be much higher had semen been deposited in the vagina.

Condoms work best when they are used correctly and consistently. Here are some tips for correct condom use.

Always check the expiration date to be sure it is not expired prior to use.
Condoms should be stored at room temperature in a sharps free environment.
Never use an oil-based lubricant with a latex condom. If you need additional lubricant, use a water-based type like KY Jelly or Astroglide.
Pinch the tip of the condom between the thumb and forefinger while rolling it onto the erect penis to ensure that there is no air pocket in the tip of the condom.
Smooth out the sides of the condom once it has been rolled on to ensure there are no air pockets in the sides of the condom.
Hold onto the rim…

My boyfriend and I had sex yesterday and the condom broke without is noticing and he finished inside me. So I took the plan B pill 6 hours after this happened. What are the chances that I could be pregnant?

According to the manufacturer, Plan B One-Step prevents seven of eight pregnancies that otherwise would have occurred which means that it reduces your risk of pregnancy by 88%. If you take Plan B One-Step within 24 hours of the unprotected sex, you reduce your risk of pregnancy by 95%. Plan B is not meant to be used as a regular method of birth control.

The most common reason that condoms break is that they are not used correctly. Here are some tips for correct condom use.

check the expiration date to be sure it is not expired prior to use.
store condoms at room temperature in a sharps free environment.
never use oil-based lubricant with a latex condom.

I had an emergency c-section on 12/13/11 and am almost 8 weeks post partum. My husband and I had sex last night and right after he cam as he was pulling out his condom came off just barely inside me. I started birth control pills on Thursday and it’s now Sunday, is it ok to take the morning after pill so soon after giving birth?

Yes.

I was late by 5 hours to take my birth control pill, I took it and right after I had unprotected sex, does that mean there’s a possibility I’ll get pregnant?

Anytime you engage in sex, pregnancy is possible. Remember that the birth control pill is not 100% effective even when used perfectly. However, when used perfectly, the pill is 99% effective. Missing pills or taking them late can increase your risk of pregnancy. However, missing a pill by five hours is not likely to decrease the pill’s contraceptive effects. Pregnancy is highly unlikely in your case.

I gave birth exactly 7 days ago via c-section, yesterday day 6 I had unprotected sex. What are the chances that I will be pregnant?

It is unlikely that you would become pregnant 6 days after having a C-section. However, it is recommended that you wait at least 6-8 weeks after delivery before resuming sexual intercourse. This is to prevent infection of the uterus and allow your incision to heal.

I missed the last active pill in my birth control but took it first thing the next day when I remembered. I had protected sex two days before my period was due. I started my period on the day I was expecting it, but i had unprotected sex on the second day. He didn’t finish inside me but I’m worried that I could be pregnant given I missed a pill and from pre cum. I also noticed that my period didn’t last as long after I had sex (usually goes for a week but it ended after 4 days). What are the chances that i’m pregnant?

If you have been taking your pills correctly and consistently, then the risk of pregnancy is low. You made up your missed pill. Your period started not long after the first intercourse, and the second episode was during your period. Your protection should still be effective.

The length and flow of your periods will vary from month to month. That this past period was a little lighter and shorter should not be a big concern. Continue to take your pills every day.

I have been on my birth control for 2 months. My fiance and I had unprotected sex and he finished inside me, but I was on the Placebo pills. What are the chances that I could get pregnant?

If you have been taking your birth control pills correctly and consistently,  the chance of pregnancy is unlikely. Your protection is effective during the placebo pills.

me and my boyfriend had sex yesterday and he might have came in me, im on birth control and ive been spotting since yesterday and my periods suppsoed to start today or tomorrow, will my period still start?

Probably, but it really depends on which type of birth control you’re using, how long you’ve been using it, and if you are using it correctly. Contact the medical provider who prescribed your birth control. Since they know your medical and contraceptive history, they will be better equipped to answer your question.
