Plan B CAN throw off your period a little. My friend had her mom take her to the doctor to talk about this because she was worried she might be pregnant. The test was negative and the doctor told her that Plan B could have bumped her period a couple of days behind.

Plan B does mess with your menstrual cycle. In my case it made me have 2 periods in a month.

Look, everybody, including myself i may add, panics about the whole 'pre cum' situation. It is very irresponsible to use the withdrawal method unless it is completely necessary, i am one of those people who stupidly does this sometimes and i know it is a very silly thing to do. However, i've read endless articles and forums online about if 'pre cum' can really get you pregnant and i don't think anybody really knows the answer. Yes it is possible, when you're having unprotected sex you are always taking a risk and it is easy to get caught up in the heat of the moment but if you have a boyfriend you trust and you know he did withdraw before ejaculation then you really should be absolutely fine unless you are just really unlucky. I also read a university article where samples of pre cum had been taken and no sperm was found in them. Pre cum is a lot more likely to contain sperm if the man hasn't urinated in between ejaculation as this will wash away the excess. In all, if your boyfriend has 'pre cumed' in you and you are 100% positive he did not ejaculate then you really shouldn't have anything to worry about unless like i said you're just a very unlucky person! Start using condoms from the beginning or speak to your doctor about alternative methods of contraception such as the pill or the injection which is 99% effective against pregnancy through unprotected sex. This will save you having any more worries in the future and save having to buy a pregnancy test. Don't get too worked up, you're probably absolutely fine, just be safe and sensible.

You are so helpful. I feel quite better.
I had unprotected sex. I can't even remember the details of when my period was and when the sex was.
I'm even having symptoms, breast soreness. And occasional nausea.
But I just wish I knew when to expect my period. I never keep track :-(

Hopefully all goes well to me, and all you other girlies.

USE A CONDOM. There are enough unplanned and unwanted babies due to teenagers being careless, it takes seconds to slip on a condom, a lifetime to raise a child; be sensible!

Way to be helpful and respond to the questions at hand gramps. You're a bit too *logical*, have you ever had sex without a condom? Some of us aren't one pump-chumps and can't ejaculate because of the sensory deprivation associated with such means of protection. You should try the withdrawl method, tis a much more satisfying experience! 8)

I don't know how satisfying it's going to be in nine months when you have a child you didn't intend to have. I have had sex both with and without a condom, and I don't take chances--just because a girl says she's on birth control doesn't mean she is. You want to have a great sensory experience and risk getting a girl pregnant, that's your prerogative. I think a little more long-term about it. That's all I am saying about it. What do other people think?

So my boyfriend and I didn't have a condom when we had sex. I am usually very paranoid about pregnancy. He would insert himself for a short period of time and remove it and wipe if off. This only happened for about 5 minutes because we were so worried. Is it possible that I could be pregnant?

plan b doesnt mess up your period

its seriously not likely that you'd get pregnant, but if it makes you less worried i would go to planned parenthood and talk to someone about getting plan b

when they gave it to me, it was 2 small pills and i just took them with food and then there was nothing more to do and i got my period normally

if you ARE pregnant, it isnt harmful to the baby either...

hope i helped


So.. Plan B does mess up your period. Also, it has all these other side effects down the road like increasing your risk for actopic pregnancy (When an egg attaches in the fallopian tubes, causing serious health risks for both baby and mother) Bottom line-it's a very new product that hasn't been studied. Basically it's like taking a months worth of birth control pills (and I'm not recommending you do that, there is an emergency contraceptive method involving a serious of birth control pills, but you have to get them from your doctor with specific instructions) but hormonally it can throw off your whole body because you're flooding your system with it. I've had my boyfriend ask me to take it and I refused because of everything I've read about it. Before you take it try to think about the fact that you MIGHT not get pregnant, but you WILL have side effects. Also, there is no proof that the morning after pill doesn't affect a baby, whatever your body absorbs, the baby absorbs and a bunch of crazy hormones are no different.

im 16 years old and i got pregnant from precum...ALWAYS USE PROTECTION

Well, I am 27, and I think you kids are utterly ridiculous! I think they should really start giving thorough sex classes like the one I had in college during your freshman year in high school. Possibly even sooner now. All the kids seem to think that 13 is a FANTASTIC age to become "an adult" now. Bother, bother...

I'm not the sort of person who gets angered by ridiculous teenage antics, but it is horribly sad how uneducated the teenage populous as a whole is about sex. Sex is such a taboo topic that tons of parents do not want to discuss it and many other adults (including sex ed instructors) do not discuss it with teens thoroughly enough. The bad thing is that teenagers are having lots of sex anyways and they are doing it with little regard to their safety. Having uneducated sex CAN BE just as bad as putting a gun to your head. Pregnancy is not the only HORRIBLE thing that can happen to you.

Firstly, precum in itself should not get you pregnant, but do not take that as an okay reason to do it unprotected. You CAN get pregnant from precum in certain instances, which I will get to in a second. Precum is a substance that prepares a fellow's urethra to pass along semen. It makes a friendlier environment so that the sperm in the semen do not die in transit. This is good if you are trying to make a baby WHICH we should NEVER FORGET is the whole purpose of sex in the first place. I'm not saying sex isn't fun and there aren't other reasons to have it, but from the standpoint of nature, that is the whole point of sexual intercourse.

YOU CAN GET PREGNANT FROM PRECUM if there is sperm in the urethra at the time it is released into the vagina. If your guy beats off and then has sex with you unprotected OR EVEN USING A CONDOM AND IT BREAKS and he has released precum, you CAN get pregnant. If you have sex once, your guy cums, and then puts it back in for another go and you are not using a condom and he releases precum inside of you (even if he cleans off prior to re-insertion), you CAN get pregnant. If you have sex once, your guy cums, he puts another condom on and you go at it again and he releases precum inside the condom and it breaks, you CAN get pregnant. If for ANY reason there is sperm within the urethra at the time a guy releases precum inside of your vagina, you CAN get pregnant. A lot of people always want to say that precum contains a "small, minute, tiny, or insignificant" amount of sperm. It doesn't contain sperm AT ALL, but it can pick up sperm along the way. When it does, it is actually often an amount large enough TO GET YOU PREGNANT. So the answer to the question of whether precum can get you pregnant is ABSOLUTELY YES if the conditions are right.

There are MANY other things to worry about when having sex other than "OMG! Will my bf's precum get me preggo?!?!?!" Unprotected sex and broken condoms can lead to a plethora of STDs (aka: STIs). As I mentioned, I am 27 years old and I cannot even tell you how many people I know who have STDs from irresponsible intercourse. You REALLY do need to be careful. I think it's only going to get worse the more teenagers that decide being sexually active is a good thing. It's also a myth that oral and anal sex cannot give you STDs. I know a lot of people who have herpes and a lot of people who have HPV virus. These things are VERY, VERY COMMON. I've also known people with gonorhea and clamidia. You kids think pregnancy is the worst thing that can come of having unprotected sex? How about anal warts from having unprotected anal sex and catching HPV up there? Think that's disgusting? You'd be surprised how many people it happens to. There are MANY STDs that cannot be cured either and "controlling" the passage of them is extremely difficult. I have a friend who passed her herpes on to her man EVEN THOUGH she didn't have an outbreak at the time, she takes her meds regularly, and they use condoms religiously.

And if you think that's all that can happen to you, consider that HIV, AIDS, and Hepatitis C is passed through sexual intercourse. Doesn't matter whether it's vaginal, oral, or anal. Ugh, imagine you turn up with liver cancer 20 years down the line and then figure out that it's because you got hepatitis C from that "stupid boyfriend" you had unprotected sex with all those years ago. Yes, kids, unprotected sex CAN MEAN death. Maybe not tomorrow, but years down the line it can even mean a slow, painful, and embarrassing death.

I know that even telling all of you these things is not going to dissuade you from having sex. It never does. I did a ton of research on sex through my teenage years and really educated myself about a lot of things. There were still things I learned later, too. I made the choice to finally have sex at 19 with a fellow I was committed to, and then the relationship went on to last another 8 years. I was still a teenager, but I felt alright knowing that I'd at least done a pretty significant amount of homework.

Just be aware that there are no certainties in sex just as there are no certainties in life. There are also tons of emotional issues that go along with having sex. It's really not just all about prevention of pregnancy and STDs either. People should explain to teenagers a lot more thoroughly how sex isn't something you should just do. It's much more special if you save it to share with someone who really appreciates you, and no, I'm not talking about waiting for marriage either. Just be careful you guys. It really pays off in the long run when there is a lot less blood, sweat, and tears in all the bad ways and there is a lot more of that in all the good ways. *smirk* It doesn't matter what excuses all of you want to make. It doesn't matter if it "doesn't feel as good" for you or for him. Sex is actually a bonding experience either way. It can make or break a relationship. It can do a TON of harm when someone ends up pregnant and no one was ready. Sex can affect you and THOSE AROUND YOU for the rest of your lives.

If you are going to do it, be as safe as possible, kids. Think about back-up methods too, because they are out there. Research spermicides. Know that birth control pills and shots are not always effective. (My mom got pregnant with two of us whilst on birth control pills.) Above all else ALWAYS ALWAYS USE CONDOMS.

Umm just to let you know, where the penis goes in is a totally differnt spot the where your pee comes out, there for unless it's on the outside of your vagina it's not going to get washed off by your pee. Be smart, can you fit a penis in your pee hole?
