Q: Question About Bcp And Vaginal Contact.

The woman I am dating and I have been using condoms and the birth control pill for 3 months. She has been taking the pill regularly with no misses.

Last night, she was on one of the last days of her period, and she still was using a tampon. We were being sexual, and she began to run her clit area with my penis for a while, and that was all that happened, we did that for maybe 5 minutes.

Since usually we always wear a condom, and she is on the pill, I don't worry about pregnancy. But with the penis to vagina contact, it makes me very very anxietable. She was on the pill (the placebo pills right now, but had been taking the real pills as perscribed), and she had a tampon in, and was till having her period.

Is there anything to worry about as far as pregnancy goes? I realize that the pill isn't 100%, but I was under the impression that it was fairly effective? I did not and have never ejaculated inside her without a condom. Mainly I am worried about the pre-cum getting on her vagina (even though she is on the pill and was on her period with a tampon).

Can anyone with more experience help me out? Over all the years, i've always used condoms since the women i've been with never were on the pill, but now that she is, the penis/vagina contact makes me more nervous than I can stand.

Thanks.

Hey you dont have anything to worry about, not only was she on her period but shes also on the pill. And you didnt ejaculate in her. Your just stressing but really you are ok. Good luck and keep up the good work on being so safe!

Clom -
just for statistical purposes, the effectiveness percentages go a little something like this: birth control pills = 99.5% when taken regularly (same time every day); condoms = somewhere around 85%. And if you did not ejaculate inside of your girlfriend (and especially if you did not even enter her) there is a very slim chance that she would be pregnant. It would be relatively the same thing as using your finger. If she has been taking the pill properly for 3 months and has not been on any medication that would interfere with the pill (i.E. Prescription medicine, antibiotics, etc. . .) you should be fine. If your girlfriend continutes to take her pill properly and without other drug interactions, you should statistically be able to have sex with her and ejaculate inside of her all you want and it will still be 99.5% effective.
The menstrual cycle part of your question would be somewhat irrelevant when dealing with birth control pills. The essence of bcps is that it prevents the ovaries from releasing eggs. A woman's uterus still accumulates and releases blood (as in a menstrual cycle) but there is no egg in it. So timing of her cycle is really a non-issue because bcps prevent the ovaries from releasing eggs.
Hope that helps!
