Condom Stuck, Vaginal Bleeding.... (Page 1)

don't think that way- you'll get preggo when you least expect it! I had a condom get stuck in me too years ago and had a little tear so it could be that. Go to the doc's and check it out though.

you'd rather have 9 months of pregnancy or an abortion than take a pill??? Oh dear.

and? Just because you haven't got pregnant before doing this doesn't mean you won't now? 27% of women get pregnant in a year of using the withdrawal method for crying out loud; go on, take a guess at how much higher the rate is without withdrawal.

sterility from aborting is *very, very* rare - you're more likely to become sterile from childbirth. I'd be shocked if you were infertile. Ever been checked out by a doc or are you just playing russian roulette?

Honey, if you want to get pregnant you are going the right way. If you don't 1) take emergency contreception. 2) go to your local sexual health clinic and work out what method of b/c suits you.

the dampness on the sheets could have been from you or from both of you. During sex, you're both probably sweating as well as discharging various fluids. It's not necessarily semen.

your fertility various at times but as your still relatively young, your fertility should be quite high.

as moira has pointed out the chances of you becoming infertile or sterile from an abortion are quite rare. Much, much more women are made sterile from childbirth than from abortions.

i, for one, would not "rather be pregnant than take a pill". Taking a pill is infinetely easier than pregnancy and childbirth. It is even more easily when you consider the fact that the pills are sooo small that often, I drop them and have trouble picking them back up again.

there are other methods of contraception where pills are not involved. There is the shot, taken 3 times a year. The patch which is worn discreetly for 3 weeks but is not recommended for anyone overweight. A lot of younger women enjoy the patch because they tend to be small enough to wear it, it's easily hideable, and you don't have to remember to do something everyday, just once a week. The nuva (sp?) ring which is easily inserted into the vagina and taken out when it is time to have a period. Many women have really found that the nuva ring is preferrable to the pill because they don't have to remember it every day and it's not on their mind all the time. It has also been tested to have high success rates. There is also the option of iud's. Any healthcare provider that you talk to can give you a list of options that don't include pills but are still very reliable and can help you decide which is right for you. Then, you have your condoms, sponges, caps, spermicides, and foams which have a higher failure rate but when coupled together can keep you safe from experiencing an unwanted/unplanned pregnancy.

I would encourage you to go to your doctor for this information and they should be able to help you choose a better method of contraception.

I went through something similar when I was 20, in fact, I am the only one out of my group of friends who did not get pregnant at 20. (i did experience an ectopic pregnancy when I was 21 and had to have an abortion but it seemed as though my friends purposefully got pregnant). I can tell you that it is a phase and it will pass. When I thought I wanted to have a child, I remember it as such a strong feeling but then after I turned 22 and I look back on that time, I am very, very glad that I did not act on those feelings. You will be too.

best of luck with that. I do hope that you are part of only 2% of women who find that this is possible.
