Used Condoms Correctly But Fear Pregnancy
Posted: 09-10-07 12:07pm

My G.F and I had sex for her first time and used a condom. I pulled out way before i got off and that was it. Then a week later we messed around with a condom on. she was grinding on me and i ended up getting off in the condom. just a little bit after that (say a minute i got up cause i didn't want the condom anywhere close to us)i took it off i we did oral sex . Her period is 6 days late and she's not on b.c..whats my odds of this whole thing being stress related or her actually being p.g? she works 30 hours and has 15 credit hours of classes. what do you guys think. She says its to early to take a test and she says she isn't worried about it. I AM THOUGH, and i know she is or she wouldn't bring it up. Once again we used the condoms the whole time and the one time we did have sex i pulled out. I checked for holes in the condom by using water and they were o.k. It was her first time also....

You don't get pregnant from oral sex. if you used the condom correctly and your penis didn't go near or enter her vagina without a condom then your chances are very very slim. I was one of the small precentage who got pregnant while using a condom but if you even checked for holes afterwards then as i said your chances are so so slim. periods can be late for so many reasons

when she was grinding on me i got off but it was in the condom. when we had sex the first time i used a lube. I found out that some of them can damage condoms.. I would assume that when i checked for holes i would be able to tell. the lube said condom safe so that should be good enough..I should stop freaking out. I KNOW she is stressed about this and the sudden change in where she lives with more classes and more work. that probably doesn't help....

Young women often have periods that are not regular. She is more than likely stressing. If you two are concerned, please have her take a pregnancy test. Planned parenthood will test her for pregnancy FOR FREE and they will also give you birth control. Also FOR FREE.

we went and got a pregnancy test today and it came out negative. Reality really sets in when your buying one of those. I told her I have made an executive decision not to have sex anymore until we are closer to finishing college, she is 22 and i am 22 and i have about 2 more years left. It would be a complete waste if something like this happened because I dont think I would be able to finish and I would need to finish school to get a good paying job to take care of the kid.

Did she miss her period? If she hasn't missed her period, it is too early for a test.

I am still a little worried even after a negative on the test ( i know they can be wrong some times) it should have ended close to the 10th if not a little before. she is really worried about it. But not so much worried about being pregnant now. I still think its a possibility. Even though the condoms worked and we were extremely careful. and I pulled out as well, with the condom..I wish someone would tell me the odds are in our favor. right now she is just worried about why she missed it. but I think thats making it worse. I have a day at the spa booked for her to help her relax a little bit.. I hope that works. could the stress make it that much worse.. can she actually miss a month? I just think that its a bad time to miss because we actually had sex this month. But she is more busy than ever before and its been a stressed filled month because she works 30-40 hrs a week with 5 classes (roughly 15 hours) she has never done this before. Also when she got back from vacation (before we had sex) I wasn't here and she was late that month too but only by about 3 days. since she got back her diet has changed along with how much sleep she gets and how active she is.. Can this happen and not be pregnant? she says she thinks she about to start but then she wakes up the next day and hasn't and she is more worried than the day before.

Her nerves and schedule and her hormones are messing up her cycle. A lot of women who change their patterns have 'off' cycle months. If she didn't have a regularly scheduled cycle before, she certainly wouldn't have one now with all the stuff she has going on.

Relax.

No one can tell you the odds of getting pregnant using a condom AND pulling out. There is no concrete statistical data - besides, every single woman and her cycle is different.

I know this is scary for you - but, honestly, the chances (although I don't know specifically) are so low you need to just breathe and let it go.

That said, IF she were pregnant at this moment in time (highly unlikely), there is nothing you can do about it RIGHT THIS MINUTE. The only thing you are doing - and I assume she is also doing - is freaking out. This is not productive.

her period was due the first wed (5th) of this month today (thur 13th) we took the first response pregnancy test in the morning just after she got up. It came back negative no sign of a second line at all. this is the second one she has take. I heard that it might have been to early for the first one which we took on monday (10th) but they said this one would be more accurate. whats your opinion on this test?

P.S.... can they really miss a hole month if there stressed and their cycle is changing to a different time.. she is 8 days late now. but we are less stressed because of the tests.

Yes! This often happened to me while I was in college. I was not having intercourse and had always been highly regular while in high school, every 28 days. In college, I started having periods every other month due to the stress of mid-terms and finals. At home over the summer, my cycles would go back to 28 days.

Also, changes in diet & exercise can affect the cycle. Especially if she is dieting and eating too few calories or doing more exercise than before, that can change her cycles too. Near the end of my college years, I lost my periods completely for over a year due to anorexia & overexercising. But she doesn't have to have an eating disorder for it to mess with her cycles. I've come across women whose cycles get wacky when they start eating healthier and exercising even on a sensible meal plan.

It really doesn't sound like she's pregnant. Condoms when used correctly and without breaking are quite good birth control. After I went off the pill because of side effects, I used condoms as my only birth control for over a year and never got pregnant. I am quite fertile, too. Once my husband & I started trying to conceive a baby, I got pregnant on the second cycle trying (and the first cycle to have good intercourse timing for pregnancy).

There are other forms of birth control you can use IN ADDITION to condoms. Like spermicide works well with condoms. You can go to planned parenthood or another family planning place and they can counsel you on your birth control options.

I'm glad she started. You must feel very relieved.

i am glad. she said that it was much thicker than normal. But then again this month hasn't been normal. I dont know if that has anything to do with it. She is extremely moody!!!! So i guess her hormones are all messed up. I guess there isn't a chance of her being pregnant.

Why doesn't she just get on birth control? Then you guys will have an added layer of protection and you cans till enjoy sex!

Remember that even if you do decide to abstain from vagina sex, there is still mutual masturbation and oral Smile

Using First Response
Posted: 10-08-07 04:58am

when do you use first response. some people say to use it any time after you period should have started but i am confused when they say take it the first day of your missed period. Does that mean a week after you should have started or the day you should have started. I ask because i have seen some places where it say its more accurate 4+ days after your expected period and some site saying 4+ after you missed period...
example: if it was going to start on the 7th are they talking about taking it on the 11th or the 18th? I know the 18th would work too but I am confused. the first response site said 4+ after your expected period.

It has been 1 month since her missed period. If she were pregnant, a pregnancy test would have been positive by now.

If her period would have started on the 7th - count 4 days (so the 11th) for most accuracy.
