Oh boy.

Oh boy.

Okay, this happened yesterday and take note that it is September 16th, 2009. Yesterday my boyfriend and I were 'dry humping' as most of us may call it. We eventually just got down to our underwear. He ejaculated and I noticed a spot on the bed and on my underwear, more behind and to the left (so on my left cheek) my vagina than on it. I wiped everything clear just incase and took a shower right after because I didn't want to take any chances. What is the likelyhood that I could get pregnant from that?

He's freaking out about it and I just want a real answer.
I think I'll go to the Dr's one of these days and get on birth control.
One thing he said that stung because of how true it was: "We might as well just be doing it with a condom, it's probably safer."

I think he's right.
Help! D:

Hi.

First of all, you need to educate yourself about pregnancy and risk reduction. Why are you having unprotected sex? Anytime you expose yourself to semen, you are running the risk of contracting infections, diseases, herpes, warts, etc. Your boyfriend is right.

No one can tell you whether you're pregnant just from a description of the activity. While it's rare for someone to become pregnant without having semen directly deposited into the vagina, it HAS happened. If you're concerned, I suggest you go to your nearest women's clinic or Planned Parenthood for a test. And while you're at it, you need to educate yourself regarding the various risk reduction options and choose the one that the two of you feel will work best for you.

Here are the three steps involved in becoming pregnant:

1. Around 14 days prior to your period, your ovary releases a viable egg into your Fallopian tube, and it is penetrated by a viable sperm. It's now a two-celled organism called a "zygote."
2. The zygote begins to segment, become four cells, then eight cells, etc. As it grows, it travels down the tube towards the uterus. It is now called a "blastocyst."
3. After several days, if all goes well, the multi-celled blastocyst reaches the uterus and implants into the wall, which begins to nourish it.

Voila! You're now officially pregnant.

It takes all three of these steps to create a pregnancy. Realize that there may be many times that steps 1 or 2 happen, but don't come to fruition. This is because not every egg and sperm contain viable genetic material. It's actually quite rare for a fertilized egg to make it all the way to implantation.

That wasn't unprotected sex, or sex at all.

I'm smarter than that, or at least I'd like to think so.
I got my period just so you know.

I told him that I won't have sex until I've been on Birth Control for two months.

It was just a mild freak out phase.
But thanks for replying and making me feel like a stupid teenager.
No really though, thank you for your comment.
