There are many different options for birth control. You can try the pill, depo shot, implant, etc. All of them have different pros and cons. It's something you'll need to research and talk to your doctor about. With any type of hormonal birth control, there is the risk of bloob clots, stroke, and heart attack, but these are pretty rare. Also, as birth control is not 100%, it's good to use more than one type. With you on birth control and him using condoms. It's better to be overly cautious, than not enough. One mistake here and you can end up pregnant. It's just something you should think about and talk it through.

There are risks involved with taking the pill which include stroke, blood clots and heart attacks. Those can happen, especially if you are a smoker. The pill is not 100% at helping to keep you from becoming pregnant. My best friend took the pill and two other BC items and got pregnant for all three of her girls while on something. Just be careful if you do not want children at this time. Keep in mind that you may love this man now, but may not later and if you become pregnant and the two of you split up, he will be involved with your new life for the next 18 years, Just give it some serious thought.

I'm glad it turned out well for you. Are you on birth control? That may be something you can look into, so you can be more at ease about it all. Then you wouldn't have to worry so much about if you are or not.

You are probably having premenstral symptoms. As scared as you are at the possibility of being pregnant, perhaps it is better you leave this type of activity until you are older and can handle the responsibility of becoming a mother. That is quite an undertaking, not to mention, expensive.

It's most likely PMS symptoms you are having, right before your period starts. If he ejaculated near your vaginal opening, then yes, it is possible to get pregnant. Otherwise, I wouldn't worry about it. Stress can make your period late.
