PREGNANCY CONCERNS
Can pregnancy

How
to use condom properly?
Safer
sex guidelines
34-yr US female
asks:
After a man withdraws and then
ejaculates is it possible for his chick to get pregnant if he
puts his penis in after that?
YES!
Because, semen keeps coming drop by drop for some time after
ejaculation. And for several hours thereafter, there will be
some residual semen deep inside his penis.
Can pregnancy
occur even if Copper-T device is present?
My wife is
having Copper-T and every month she gets her period in 1st week of
the month and today it is 12 days past the regular date. I have
tested for pregnancy and it came negative, but still we are worried
since we do not want children now and we have already have one son.
In the place where we live abortion is not allowed. The last time
it happened, we had to go all the way to India to get an abortion
done. If this has to happen again please image my plight. Could you
advice us what to do? Your reply will be highly appreciated.
Copper-T devices
have negligible failures, if fitted properly. In your wife’s case
it could be just another missed period. If the pregnancy test done
was based on a reliable kit and technique, you need not worry. In
about a few days she should menstruate normally. If you are not
sure of the test kit employed, go for Pregcolor® or better still,
an ELISA based kit. Once pregnancy is ruled out, rest assured and
wait for the periods to start.
Can I get pregnant when I have sex and
I am on my period?
Usually not. But watch out! Occasionally bleeding
occurs at the middle of the cycle coinciding with the release of egg. And many women mistake it for a regular menstrual period. They run the risk of unwanted pregnancy if they participate in unprotected sexual intercourse around that day.
Family planning expert Prof. Guillebaud from London says: 'Intercourse can be fertile almost any time during the menstrual cycle, not excluding during the menses, if the sperm survives for up to 7 days and ovulation occurs early..'
Does underwear protect from
pregnancy?
I was just wondering if I mess around
with someone and we both have underwear on and the guy cums, can I get
pregnant that way?
It is possible, if this event occurred
around your ovulation day, because
the pores within the undergarments are too big to prevent the entry
of spermatozoa. The latter are too smart to stay idle. They swim
across and reach the vaginal opening easily. Of course, the chances
of pregnancy are much lower than when the semen is deposited directly
inside or on the vagina, but the risk cannot be dismissed.
Can a girl get pregnant by
swallowing semen?
If a girl swallows cum...can she get
pregnant? Please answer this quickly.
Swallowing the semen does not make a
woman pregnant.
Pregnancy without going all
the way?
Can I get pregnant without going all the way?
Petting (kissing, hugging, and caressing) does not cause pregnancy. But
the chances of pregnancy are real, if there is genital contact and
semen ejaculated on or near the vaginal opening, on a day close
to ovulation. The spermatozoa have an amazing capability to swim
their way up into the uterus through vagina.
Can I get pregnant from pre-cum?
Can I get pregnant from pre-cum? and how long should I be worried about being pregnant if I dont have my period for 2 weeks?
When a guy has that clear discharge stuff that comes out before he cums? Well....can that make a girl pregnant? I have heard it cann't and
I have heard it can.
Yes, it is possible to get pregnant from pre-cum (a slang word for the
drops of pre-ejaculatory secretions that come out of the penis in
response to sexual stimulation) as this may contain sperms remaining
in the ducts following a previous ejaculation.
However, for pregnancy to occur in such a situation, both the man and women should be highly fertile and the exposure of that fluid to the female genitalia should occur close to the ovulation day. You may wish to know that there are recorded cases of women who became pregnant this way.
If you have had a sexual encounter which you suspect could lead to pregnancy, get tested as soon after 7 days from the ovulation day, as possible. There are sensitive test kits such as those based on ELISA principle, which can detect pregnancy at least a week before your period is
due. And if you miss a period get tested within the next week itself.
Can I get pregnant from
anal sex?
Q:
I am 18 and had anal sex with my boyfriend. I am wondering if I
could get pregnant from that. If I can, I would like to know what the
chances are. We are generally careful to make sure when it comes back
out that it stays away from my vaginal opening. The only time I could
think that it could get near the opening is when I am cleaning myself
up afterwards. I missed my period this last month, that is why I am so
scared. I have never had actual intercourse, that’s why I would be
destroyed if I got pregnant. I am really scared and don’t know what
to do. I am just looking for answers. A response as soon as possible
would be greatly appreciated. I can’t sleep.
Please get
tested for pregnancy. You can do the test yourself with certain kits
available in drug stores. Anal sex too can cause pregnancy because the
semen can seep from the anus and spread up to and into the vaginal
canal. Even if you wipe it out you still run the risk because the
spermatozoa, invisible to naked eye, are capable of swimming their way
up to the vagina through the moisture contact between vulva and anus.
Pre-cum touched the
outside of vagina. Chances of Pregnancy?
Q:
Finally someone who can help me!!! Well recently
me and my girlfriend were fooling around and there is a possibility
that some pre-ejaculate may have touched the outside of her vagina,
it was during the time of her period and I was just wondering if there
is a possibility of pregnancy. If so what are the odds?
Q:
if
there was a small amount of sperm on my hand, and i inserted it into
the girl's vagina a little time after ejaculation, could she become
pregnant?
Ans:
Yes, if all other factors favour it.
He
didn't go in all the way!
Q:
i
may sound stupid but i was wondering if i could get pregnant by a
guy if we had sex around the time of my period. He didn't even go
in all the way or get off like squirt nething and we used a condom.
it has been like racking my head and i just wanna know if it is possible.
write back ASAP. thanx
You
need not worry about chances of pregnancy because your b/f has not
ejaculated, he was wearing a condom and it happenned to be your periods
when you had sex. With these three factors in operation, the odds
of pregnancy are practically nil.
But,
please remember that, the penis not going all the way into the vagina
is no protection against pregnancy.
Similarly,
sex during menses does not lead to pregnancy, but there are circumstances
when people mistook the inter-menstrual bleeding
for menses. The former is associated with ovulation; sex during that
bleeding/spotting episode can lead to pregnancy.
unprotected sex
but no fluids
Q:
hi,
i had sex the other day unprotected and what are the chances of me
being or getting pregnant if he said he didn't release any fluids.
Please answer. its really important.
Well,
there is no way to tell that he has not released ANY fluids. He could
only say about release of semen. But the pre-ejaculatory fluid (pre-cum),
which comes out involuntarily, carries some spermatozoa and that much
chance of pregnancy. Unprotected sex always carries a risk of pregnancy
and STIs. Safety first, thrill next!
Masturbating with
semen on hand
Q:
My
husband always likes to try new things when we are in bed and that
does not bother me but one of his new things is... He likes to ejaculate
in my hand and watch me masturbate with that hand. He says that once
the sperm hits the air it dies and I cannot get pregnant by doing
this. Is this true?
No, the
spermatozoa will be alive and swimming as long as the film of semen
is wet on your hands. If you do not want pregnancy, avoid this technique,
or apply a spermicidal jelly to your hands and inside your vagina
before using your husband's new technique.
Condoms
offer protection, but not fool-proof

Ans:
Sex
always thrilled millions of youngsters like you, but has
left millions of young unmarried girls with unwanted pregnancy, premarital
motherhood, sexual diseases including HIV, psychological and physical
trauma and social problems associated with all these. All these unfortunate
young people burnt their fingers out of an overwhelming curiosity,
irresistible temptation, and lack of proper awareness about safer
sex. So please think twice before indulging in any sort of sexual
activity at this age. In any case learn more about safer sex practices.
Condoms
do offer protection against pregnancy but they are not fool proof.
There is a 10-30% risk of pregnancy if the condom is not properly
used - for ex., if it is worn in such a way making it easily prone
to rupture; if the penis is not withdrawn along with the condom held
firmly to the penis, soon after ejaculation i.e., while the penis
is still hard; if the same condom is used repeatedly, or after the
date of expiry, and so on. (use
condom properly to get best
protection).
Condom was broken
half way through Q:
I
had sex last night with my boyfriend. we had only been doing it for
about 1 minute when we realized that the condom was broken. he didn't
ejaculate yet, but it is possible to get pregnant from precum. After,
he used a spermicidally lubricated condom on his fingers and inserted
them into me. We did this twice. What else should we do to avoid pregnancy?
thankyou
These
self help tricks don't always work because nature has provided the
spermatozoa with an amazing capability of speeding their way into
the womb and the tubes. In persons whose fertility scores are very
high this alone can lead to pregnancy if the woman is ovulating around
the same time.
If you
cannot avoid participating in sex at this time, you may wish to combine
two methods of contraception, preferably a condom + some spermicidal
jelly. The first would protect you from sexually transmissible infections,
as well as unwanted pregnancy, and the other acts as an additional
protection against conception, in case the condom fails.
Half inserted penis has
cum on it.
I'm a 14 yr old
female and i was wondering if a boy had cum on his penis and he only
stuck it in half way is there a way to get pregnant?
Very well, yes!
Please look at the answers above.
Pulling out is no good
i'm 18 and recently, 5 days before my period is supposed to
begin, my fiance and i were having sex. he ejaculated in me, it
was his first time. but now i'm scared i could be pregnant, it
is now 2 days before my period is suposed to begin, but no sign
of it. i've had cramps for about a week, this never happens before
my period. i normally don't cramp until i start. we have a very
active sex life and don't always use protection, but he normally
pulls out. so are my chances of being pregnant really big? should
i get tested now or wait a few days and see if i start? thanks!
Since you had unprotected sex 5 days before your periods are
due - and since your menstrual cycle is regular and predictable
- it is less likely that you become pregnant from this sexual
encounter. About a week days before the due date are 'safe'.
About the other point you mentioned - "he normally pulls
out" - this is not totally safe, because his pre-coital secretions
(pre-cum) may contain a few sperms; secondly, occasionally he
may ejaculate even before he could fully withdraw the penis. It's
much better if you could use Today vaginal suppositories (tablet-like
things), every time you participate in intercourse. You have to
insert one tablet deep into your vagina, for every act of coitus.
Wiping doesn't
help
My girlfriend and I were messing around and I came two or three times.
A few minutes later after wiping my cum off my penis, I stuck it in for
a few seconds, but there was probably precum. She had her period almost
a week ago. What are the chances of her getting pregnant? .......Please
write back ASAP..... thanks a lot
Well, I am afraid you are giving terrible risk to your g/f.. What you
presume is not pre-cum, it is the last few drops of the cum itself. It
contains several times more spermatozoa than pre-cum, and since you have
stuck yours in, you are delivering these cunning swimmers (spermatozoa)
much nearer to their goal. And if all this happens a few more days away
from her day of menstruation (approximately between 8th and 18th day of
her period) you have a fairly good chance of making her pregnant. Your
g/f certainly will not want you to do this to her. Won't you think of
using condoms, please?
How long should I wait before letting her take a pregnancy test? Thanks
again!
Ask her to take an ELISA based test a week before her period is due.
A less sensitive test can be taken as soon as she misses the period.
Rubbing on the
vagina but not ejaculating CAN cause pregnancy.
Please help me and write me back with an answer to my question. Well,
my boyfriend and I have never really had sex but i have missed my
period twice now and I don't know what to think of this. From what I
know of, he hasn't ejaculated by my vagina. I am so worried that I am
pregnant even though there is a very slim chance I am. Can you please
tell me if him rubbing his penis by my vagina but not ejaculating at
all would cause me to become pregnant. Also, i would like to know why
i have missed. Please write back because I am very nervous. Thank You.
A: Occasionally a period may
miss for reasons beyond our comprehension. Stress and anxiety,
fluctuations in hormone balance, change in place (shifting from home
to hostel) change in dietary habits etc. are implicated.
As to your most worrying
question - rubbing the penis against vaginal orifice CAN cause
pregnancy but VERY RARELY. The reason is that the pre-cum contains a
few spermatozoa and in highly fertile couples these are capable of
penetrating into the vagina, the uterus and the tubes and fertilize
the egg, if one is waiting there. All this will happen if the sexual
activity took place around the day of ovulation (egg release). The
odds for all these factors to synchronize are few, but no one can
predict. That is why safer sex practices are repeatedly advocated.
I expect that your period
will show very soon. Meanwhile, buy a do-it-yourself pregnancy kit,
test your urine sample for pregnancy and hopefully, sigh with a
relief. I trust you will be able protect yourself from these avoidable
worries hereafter.
