Don't know what to think.

I've been dating this guy for about a month or more and we just started to become sexually involved and well I keep forgetting to take my pill but he says he can't get me prengnant because he has a extremely low sperm count because when he was younger he did some different types of illegal drugs, and well I dont think I am yet but does anyone know the chances of getting pregnant even though he thinks he can't? I think other wise just can't seem to find any articles about it online anywhere...

thanks for the advice. I thought the same thing and the low sperm count, and  the std check ive done that im sorta of paranoid about that thing already took him myself and we do use condoms but i was just talking about the times (yes everyone has them ) that we dont use one .

low sperm count doesn't mean he can't get you pregnant how low is his sperm count ? if its even true depending on how young he was his sperm count might be normal now and most illegal drugs affect sperm count while they are being used only not after he stops using them. I don't know what he was taking so can't say for but you just started this relationship even if you can trust that he's not lying to you about the whole thing he might be misinformed your playing russian roulette with your health and your chances of pregnancy use condoms its the only way to prevent std's and pregnancy since your not taking your pills correctly then they aren't effective you need to be taking them for at least a week correctly before you can stop using backup but i would suggest std testing for both of you before you go back to not using condoms it's the responsible thing for both of you to do

I know a very large amount of people who are drug users, and it has NO effect on their fertility. All people and cases are unique though. Unless he has seen a doctor and actually has proof of these claims, don't believe him.

As you're not properly taking your BC, it offers you little to no protection. You have the same odds as anyone else. Wait two weeks and take a pregnancy test with first morning urine. Unless you're wanting a child (and seeing as you just started to date this person I would assume you don't) you either need to properly take your BC or speak to your doctor about getting on something that doesn't require daily use. If you haven't as well, it's also wise to have him (and yourself) a full STD test. Far too many people carry these now, and have no reason to be honest to you--and remember, just because they show no signs doesn't mean they're clean.
