Pregnant from precum and birth control?

Question

I'm 16. Have always been responsible concerning my sex life. I've had one partner, my boyfriend of 9 months and we've just recently begun to have sex. I had been on Ovcon 35 (birth control pills) for about 9 days when we got carried away and for a few minutes we had sex without a condom. He did not finish in me, we finished with a condom. I'm worried about the potentcy of his pre-***, and whether I should be worried or not. I cannot tell me parents if I get pregnant and am preparing myself for the worst. I won't trouble my boyfriend with it, I feel its my responsibility. Will my familys insurance take care of termination costs? I don't have the money. How likely do you think it is that I am pregnant? I've been having milds back aches and cramps as well as sore breasts, but it could be a delayed effect from the pills, even though I had no prior side effects. Its only been 4 days since the unprotected sex. I am about 10 days away from my period on the pill. I need any opinions. Thank you

Answer 1

Breath.

First of all, this is both of your responsibilities so you need to talk to him about how freaked out you are. You've learned your lesson.

Next, you can't know if you are pregnant yet -- your sore breats and cramps are either your mind tricking you (you've convinced yourself) or it's just you growing. You are only 16. It could also be the birth control.

As far as precum, do a little research. Most web sites will tell you that it doesn't contain sperm, but scientists really aren't sure. Insurance will not cover termination, as it isn't "medically" necessary.

So you know from now on, your most fertile time of the month is from days 12 to 17, which (from my calculations of your information in the question) is when you had sex. Try not to do that again.

Please go to Planned Parenthood or your families doctor. They can't tell your parents -- so don't sweat going to them to talk. You really need to find out more information about intercourse before you do it again. After all, they would have told you that birth control isn't effective until it's been taken for 3 months.

Again, go see someone -- even a school counselor. No one can tell Mom and Dad but you. Which is really what you need to do in the end.

Good luck.

Answer 2

It's too early too have any symptoms if you are pregnant. So the back aches and tenderness are prolly from the pills. You're doc should have told you, that it takes time before the birth control is effective. 9 days is not enough time. But I understand u can get carried away. My only question is this....Did u not weigh all these questions before you started havin sex? I'm sure u are aware that there is no fool-proof birth control but abstinence. Trust me, I have 4 kids! My first son was conceived on the pill, and my 3 with condoms. But you really need to stop takin the pills until you find out for sure because if you do end up prego, they have side effects on the fetus! It is possible to become prego with pre-*** (as you said). And another thing, you really need to consider tellin both your parents and your boyfriend. Your parents re your parents and will always love you. Your boyfriend is another story, but he does have right to know and be a part of the decision of what to do, considering it would be his child if you are prego. Best of luck with however it turns out.

Answer 3

As has been said already, you should read and learn about these things, preferably before you do them. If what you've said is true, the likelihood is she isn't going to become pregnant from that episode. Going into the future, you should know that even "fooling around" can lead to pregnancy, with or without birth control. The only 100% guarantee is to abstain. If you aren't abstaining, be prepared for the possibility - however remote. There are a lot of myths in the world about sex and pregnancy. Precum can impregnate. People on the Pill who also use condoms can get pregnant. Women who've had their tubes tied can become pregnant. Men who've had vasectomies can be fertile. In addition to pregnancy, there are other considerations for abstinence and safe sex - like AIDS, herpes, and other STDs. We tend to live in the illusion it won't happen to us... but unfortunately, the truth is it can, and does happen to people who thought the same thing. Learn as much as you can. Buy a book and read. And be safe.

Answer 4

ok, birth control makes it so that you don't ovulate meaning you don't release an egg, and it is both of your responibility, if you're worried you should say something. There are pregnancy tests that tell you up to 5 days before your period. Some insurance companies cover the costs, but you should call to find out. You also need to make sure when you call anybody, you make it VERY CLEAR that your parents cannot be informed. If I were you, I would find the nearest planned parenthood office and make an appointment ASAP, they will have information on everything, and they work on a sliding scale, so if you don't have money, they can work with you. Good luck!

Answer 5

Just keep taking your pills and you should know one way or the other in about 10 days. A pregnancy test won't be 100% accurate until at least 6 days into the pregnancy.... even the ones that claim they can tell you on the first day. You're probably ok, don't stress on it too much or your period might be late just from the stress. I don't think insurance will cover an abortion.. in fact I'm nearly positive it won't unless it's a life threatening thing.

Whenever I went on BC pills I'd have cramps, lower back pain, and sore boobs for weeks. Probably all it is. But from now on, no unprotected sex until you've been on the pill for a solid month! M'kay? :)

Answer 6

The pill is not effective until you have been taking it for a month and yes, you can get pregnant from pre-ejaculate. ANY time you have unprotected sex, you risk getting pregnant. Not all women are on the same ovulation cycle (14 days after period). I actually ovulate 3 to 5 days after my period....everyone is different.
It's way too early for pregnancy symptoms. You have to wait and see if you miss your period. If you do, take a pregnancy test.
Pregnancy termination is not covered by insurance.

Answer 7

You can get pregnant from pre-ejaculate and need to be more careful in the future. As for now, you need to talk to your boyfriend about this because it is his responsibility too. He needs to realize that you and him can make a child and be there for you during this scare of yours. It is possible you could be pregnant but please stay on the pill and then take a test when it comes time for your period. You need to stay as relaxed as possible ( and hopefully talking to your boyfriend and letting him know what is going on might help ) because stress can make your period late also. The hormones in the pills can certainly be causing your symptoms so try not to focus on that. You can't know anything until time for your period so unfortunately you will have to wait until then to take a test. If you take one that is negative and still don't have a period in a few days, take another one then to be sure.

Answer 8

Ok, first, it’s a possibility, but a small one. It’s only been 4 days, way to soon to be having pregnancy symptoms. When your late, then you get freaked out (and I mean like by 2 weeks, not by 2 days) if you stress, you may make yourself late. Second, every insurance policy I have ever seen only pays for the abortion in cases or rape or insect, or occasionally because of a severe birth defect or it the pregnancy would be a danger to your health. 3) It takes 2 to tango your boyfriend is every bit as responsible as you if you get pregnant, at that’s why the law makes him just as responsible for supporting a child. But with all that said, don’t freak out. You have time to deal with this

Answer 9

Why were you having unprotected sex of any kind after being on the pill only 9 days? Besides are you not aware that NO birth control method sold is 100% effective? You don't sound all that responsible to me. And you have a pretty good chance at being pregnant at that...

Answer 10

pre-ejaculate contains sperm.
not to mention that you are a little young for sex. chances are, if you always on time with your pills, and are not overweight (pill metabolizes quicker), then you aren't pregnant. take a test, and then adopt, not abort, if you are. i doubt insurance covers it. i would hope not, unless medically necessary (death to mom). if you can't afford to raise a baby, you shouldn't have unprotected sex. a "few minutes" is a long time to "forget" a condom. you could be PMSing as well.
hopefully, you aren't pregnant. you aren't ready for it. if you are, the baby's father has a right to know. it's his child that you'd be killing, as well as yours.
