I hate to be that girl... Chance of pregnancy?

Hi all,

Okay, so I'd just like to know the possibility of pregnancy based on the following scenario:

I had sex with my fiancee twice last night, both times with a condom. Due to a previous health condition, I am unable to take birth control or Plan B as necessary, so condoms are my only choice.

The first time, the condom worked perfectly fine and nothing went wrong. We then had sex again a while later (and my fiancee did NOT urinate prior to this second encounter), and the condom broke. We realized it almost immediately and he had not yet ejaculated, so we stopped right away. What are the chances of me getting pregnant based on this encounter? I know failing to urinate after a previous ejaculation can increase the amount of sperm in pre-ejaculate slightly. However, does it make a difference that I was giving him oral (unprotected - no risk of STDs whatsoever) prior to the second time having sex? I'm not sure if that could somehow destroy some of the sperm left over from his previous ejaculation.

So, again, is it very likely that I'm pregnant based on what I've just described? I have very regular cycles, and my last period began on 2/25, so I am due for my next one to start on 3/25. I already have sore breasts, etc. and I have for about a week now, which is typical for me in terms of my usual cycle, PMS symptoms, etc.

Obviously I know there's a slight risk of pregnancy, but I don't want to overly stress about it. I'm just going to patiently wait for my period on 3/25 - especially since I have normal cycles, so I should have already ovulated at this time. I had some clear discharge early last week, so I'm guessing I already have ovulated. I'm also having knee surgery in about two months and I will need to take a pregnancy test prior to that, so I don't want to be surprised. I mean, I don't necessarily want a baby right now, although I would be more than happy to have one as we are both financially secure with full-time jobs, etc. I was just hoping we could put off a baby until we both finish up graduate school.

Thanks, that's reassuring. Do you mind if I ask if you'd ever had sex during your fertile period and still used the pull-out method, or did you avoid sex altogether during this time? Don't worry about answering if that's too personal for you - just curious. :) I think I was over my fertile period, but just in case.

Again, it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if I was pregnant because we are both financially stable and we both do want children (eventually). I just don't think I'm ready quite yet - especially because I'd like to get this surgery out of the way first. I think that's what I'm most concerned about and why I'm worried - simply because I have to take a pregnancy test on the morning of my surgery. Normally, I wouldn't care, but my surgeon doesn't know much about my personal life so I feel like I would be embarrassed if I took a test and it was positive.

I bought some HPTs just to reassure myself, and I will take one a few days after my period is expected to start (even if I do actually start it) just to reassure myself.

There is always a chance... but it is highly unlikely that your pregnant.... my husband and I used the pull out method for 3 years successfully- married 5 years and I was on birth control for the first year... then planned a pregnancy and it took 6 months to get pregnant... daughter wad born in oct 2010 and from November 2010 (since you gotta wait 6 weeks) and it worked all the way up until September 2013... another planned pregnancy... personally I wouldn't worry about it too much... we never used condoms because il allergic, the deprovera shot and nuvaring gave me horrible reactions, and I suck at taking the pill...

I would say that since you caught the break early in the encounter and he had not yet ejaculated and your symptoms are normal for your cycle, the odds are in your favor. However there's always that slight chance, and if you do end up carrying a child, its especially good that you two are financially stable and prepared. Good luck to you and your fiancé.

For about 7 years my husband and I have either used condoms or the pull out method, we talked about having another one in Dec. And started trying. I thought it would take me longer as I'm not in my twentys anymore. Im due in oct lol joke was on me. Had to cancel a trip I was planning on taking in Nov.
