Pregnant from semen escaping?

    Hi Boards,

    Whilst having sex with my girlfriend yesterday on the couch, we just did a simple job of pulling down trousers etc., and having intercourse with a condom, clothed from waist up.

    However, we did the business, and I pulled out just as I was cumming in the condom, as it\'s my preference. However, when I was about to take it off, I noticed a small bit of fluid on the underside of by penis, just at the base of the condom where the ring/rim was.

    Now, I have been worrying about it a lot today, and couldn\'t sleep well thinking about it. I am wondering, could this just have leaked down after I pulled out, or would this have reached her. What are the chances that it has come in contact with her.

    It was not a lot of fluid, only a couple of millimetres, if you were to measure it, and I am probably just fretting, but what should I do. My girlfriend is aware of the situation, and she thinks that there isn\'t really a problem, but I am still a bit worried, probably because it\'s my first time with her, and I don\'t want anything to happen.

    Please offer some constructive advice. I am very worried.

    Yes it is possible.
    Were you as a couple using any other forms of contraception ?
    If not then you should have a discussion about going for the morning after pill.

    I would suggest that you contact 1850 49 50 51 the IFPA National Pregnancy Helpline and talk to a professional there about the odds on her becoming pregnant.

    (Thank you for your reply)

    She was not using any other form of contraception, such as the pill.
    She has spoken to her colleagues, and they have been in worse scenarios, and say there is nothing to fear.

    She also has remarked that according to her cycle, its unlikely she could get pregnant today.

    Well, it's highly likely that the fluid wasn't yours, if you know what i mean.

    But if you're worried then go with her to get the morning after pill, and while you're there she can get started on the pill (if she's not already).

    Could have been erm preecum(not sure of the technical verbiage)
    That wouldn't be too bad as long as you had gone for a pee between the time you you had intercourse last...

    Precum can still have live sperm present in it and it takes only 1 reaching it's goal to start a pregnancy.
    She also has remarked that according to her cycle, its unlikely she could get pregnant today.

    Unlikely still means it is possible.

    Well, could the fluid be from her?

    She reported that she had a few pains and cramps today, but I don't believe it's linked.

    What symptoms would be found today?

    I think we're both fretting over nothing, but you can imagine the worry.

    You don't know what really happened re the semen so I'd strongly suggest your girlfriend goes to get the morning after pill as soon as possible. Yes, it's hassle but so too is dealing with an unwanted pregnancy.

    The morning after pill is not an aspirin. Before all the amateur doctors start prescribing it maybe OPs girlfriend should decide whether or not she wants to see a REAL doctor about it, after all as we have been reminded a million times on this board, this is not a medical board.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 43,045 ✭✭✭✭Nevyn


    The op has already been given a contact number to speak to a health professional.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166,026 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser


    Upon calling the number in question, they are closed. I phoned two other numbers given on the service, and all closed. My fear is that waiting will cause problems further.

    The OP asked for advice and some people offered that as an idea. keep yer pants on metro.

    OP, while it is very unlikely that your gf will have gotten pregnant,there is always the slight physical possiblity....

    The pains and cramps your gf has today have NOTHING to do with what happened last night. There would be absolutely no noticeable effect whatsoever today even if you have gotten her pregnant. Again, it is highly unlikely she is pregnant but if you do not want this to be the case I would suggest you look at taking the morning after pill as soon as possible as it needs to be taken within 72 hours (this is how long the egg takes to fertalise) but the longer it's left, the less effective it becomes, I would also suggest that your girlfriend thinks about a second form of contraception for future incidents.

    Metrovelvet, she'd have no choice but to talk to a doctor before taking this as it is a prescription only drug in this country.

    It goes without saying that you have to see a doctor to get the morning after pill.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,032 ✭✭✭She Devil


    It is most probably unlikely that your girlfriend is pregnant, but you can never be too careful. You should go see a doctor and do get the morning after pill Monday is time enough for you, (it is effective up to 72hrs after the said intercourse) Also you should get your girlfriend to speak to her doctor about the contraceptive pill, because although this situation has happened to us all, it shouldnt have to happen twice!

    Everyone, I can't express how much I appreciate your help.

    Today, I've been just so worried. I spent last night awake, and today worried and fearful. I really am scared and worried.

    I've been looking at the scenario, and we're going to make a decision based on how we see it. It's quite scary to even be in this situation.

    However, I wish you extend my genuine appreciation and thanks for your advice. Despite me not personally knowing you, I feel so drawn in and glad of your helpful words. I know there is no way to thank you, as this is a public forum on the internet, so I must only try to express it in words.

    You have put a bit of light and confidence in my problem, and I really am appreciative of it.
    I wish you all the success and luck in the future, and I wish the blessings of God upon you.

    Thank you again, and God Bless.

    D.
