Q: Ortho Tri-cyclen After Sex

Hi there, just a curious (but concerned guy) who needs some answers. My gf and I were having sex on a saturday, and she had been on top for a while. As I lifted her off me I could feel the condom slipping off me, so by the time I came out it was still inside her. I had not cummed yet, I was going to get us in a different position. I use the trojan with the spermicide. We stopped since she got a little scared. I told her we should probably look into birth control so we can have that added security. So she went to planned parenthood on tuesday (3 days after) and she got on ortho tri-cyclen.


So she was supposed to have her period yesterday, but she never did. She said last night she was cramping, and she says she usually starts the morning after that happens (which would be today), but she hasn't. She's also experiencing some mild headaches and stomach aches, and slight gag feeling in the back of her throat.


I was wondering how possible it would be if she was pregnant, and if its too early to worry about it yet. I just need answers and/or suggestions. Thanks!

The fact that you used a condom, it had spermicide, and you had not ejaculated, make the odds of her being pregnant very very slim.

Thumbs up for using protection. Good luck! Wink

Pregnancy is unlikely as she was likely post ovulation by many days.
Pregnancy is also unlikely as you were using a spermicidal condom (props to you).

Hoever to start a birth control pill so near to the end of her cycle could well mess her cycles up.

You guys would have been better to get a "morning after pill" (can be taken upto 72 hours post coital but the earlier the better) and then starting on birth control as soon as her next cycle began.

Don't stop taking the b/c pill now that she has started on them, but her cycles could be a bit messed up for a couple months as her body comes in line with the b/c.

Do keep using spermicidal condoms even though she is on the pill as both condoms and the pill are 98-99% effective when used 100% correctly. So using two different types of b/c is a great idea.

You guys sound like you have the right idea so keep it up.
The pill may make her skip the period she would be starting so taking a test is not a bad idea.
The pill will not affect the result of a test and taking the pill will not harm a pregnancy that has occurred.

She would do well to talk this through with an advisor at your local family planning clinic.
