Ladies - need help. Could I get pregnant?

[littleL_RN]

A few days ago, I had sex with my boyfriend on the last day of my period.

 

Although I am on the birth control pill and he did not finish, I am still fearing that I could get pregnant.

 

What makes it worse is that my period won't even be due for another month.

 

What do you think?

Do you take your pill like you should? On time, everyday?

If he didn't ejaculate and you're on the pill, then I wouldn't worry about it.

Even though women can get pregnant from "pre-ejaculation", if you're on the pill doubt it.

If you take the pill regularly, it can be greater than 99% effective, depending on the one you are on.

 

Then add to the fact that you were on your period and he didn't ejaculate, making the chances of pregnancy practically nonexistent.

I am in agreement with the other posts. The likelihood of your getting pregnant under your circumstances would be very very slim to none. I wouldn't worry myself over it for the next month at all if I were you.

It is highly unlikely to get pregnant if you have sex during your period even if you aren't on the pill.

dont worry, i used to have the same paranoia..

its very very unlikely you are pregnant if you are using the pill correctly everyday.

 

It is highly unlikely to get pregnant if you have sex during your period even if you aren't on the pill.

 

this is untrue, and i hope everyone knows that cos thats how people get pregnant, by being misinformed..

Pregnancy can occur from intercourse that takes place during a period. This is because sperm can live in the body for up to five days, and if a woman ovulates soon after her period, then conception could take place from intercourse that occurred during her period.

However,

For women who have regular cycles, ovulating during your period is highly unlikely.

So yes, you can get pregnant during your period, the chances are slim, but since you had birth control, it's highly highly unlikely.

Thanks, girls. I think what makes me most paranoid was the fact that during your period, you only take the 'inactive pills,' so I felt slightly unprotected.

 

However, I do take the pills everyday religiously. I am going to try not to fret too much for now. Of course, I'm sure I'll be worrying like crazy come a week before my scheduled period.

(Regarding conception during menstruation)

this is untrue, and i hope everyone knows that cos thats how people get pregnant, by being misinformed..

 

It is you who are misinformed.

 

Conception during menstruation is about as likely as conception while on the pill -- possible, but highly unlikely.

 

Some people have claimed to have gotten pregnant due to having sex during menstruation, but in 99.9% of those cases the woman was experiencing non-menstruational bleeding, or had exceedingly erratic menstrual cycles.

 

Sperm only live for 4-5 days in optimal cervical mucus conditions (i.e. around ovulation), which is not the state of things during menstruation, where sperm only survive 1-2 days.

I have a friend that conceived her first child when she was only 17 years old. She was on her period.

 

Yes you can get pregnant on your period. So people should be aware of the fact that at anytime, with no protection, pregnancy is a possibility!

87.5% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
