Chances of being pregnant

LegacyUser

Had unprotected sex a few nights ago and worried I might be pregnant, He only came slightly and pulled out, he said he probably shoots blanks as other times this happened with his ex she didnt get pregnant, anyway just wondering have I a considerable chance of being pregnant? Is it too soon to have a test?

In short, yes, there is a chance that you could be pregnant. You may also have contracted an STD.

Get yourself checked out by a doctor and take a pregnancy test as soon as possible.

You can take the Morning After Pill (MAP) up to 72 hours after unprotected sex, and it prescribed by a doctor.

Interesting assumption, considering that SHE could be the one who's infertile.

im thinking the chance is very small, is it too soon to take a test, the 72 hours is just up now, he ejaculated a tiny bit he said didnt fully come so im thinking that i should be ok.

i've been told that myself a few times, i have come to the conclusion that people who say that, are only saying it to not wear a condom.

there is a chance you are pregnant yes (it's how i fell pregnant with this baby, though me and hubby didn't mind another baby, so contraception was half hearted to say the least lol). it also depends where you were on your cycle.

you say it was a few days ago? you can take the MAP within 72 hours of the event, so get to the doctors/pharmacy quickly, if there is time. dont be embarrassed. it is more effective the sooner you take it.

also it may be too early to take a test, after fertilisation it can take a while for the egg to attach to the lining of the womb, that is when the hormones are released. so assuming you had sex on 14th day of your cycle, you can do a pregnancy test about 6 days before period is due and it should show you an accurate result

however that's a bit fiddly (esp if you are irregular), i always wait till my period is actually due! that way i know a result will be more accurate and i wont be going out buying a new test every few days till i feel it's safe to stop lol.

goodluck x try not to worry, i know thats easier said than done but till you do a test ther eis no point worrying

and dont listen to blokes who try and use that as an excuse again x

Better to be certain. Take a test as soon as you can. If you go to a pharmacy, they will advise you on the type of test to take and when to take it.

Secondly, and I will repeat this. Get yourself checked out for an STD. You have unprotected sex - pregnancy is not the only possible consequence.

There is no pregnancy test that will tell if a person is pregnant after just a few days. As Darthoob says it can take a few days for implantation to occur and a few more for the hcg hormone to reach detectable levels.
There are tests that say they will detect pregnancy 6 days before the period is due so that would probably be at least / 8 days post conception. Given that sperm can survive in there for a few days before ovulation then the time frame could be longer again... it really is best to wait until close to period due date to take a test.
OP do you have any idea where you were in your cycle?.

No offence but I wasn't aware someone could half come, it's either all or nothing, and considering 1 teaspoon of sperm contains millions then there is a chance. If you are past the 72 hours I think if you go to the doctor and explain the coil can be fitted and be used as a contraceptive protection for up to 1 week after unprotected sex and it lasts five years. I know it will be expensive but it is a lot cheaper than having a baby. His girlf could have just been lucky to not get pregnant after having unprotected sex.

Also there is some speculation that pre-cum can contain sperm also so the withdrawal method is one of the least proven methods of contraception.

Definitely second the std test, he has obviously been having unprotected sex with other women.

Best of luck and hope things work out!

As Dudara said, get an STD test!!

As regards being pregnant, to quote the old adage 'it only takes one sperm' so you'd be foolish to assume that you're ok because he only 'half came'. As for shooting blanks, Liam Byrne said, it could have been the case that his ex was infertile.

A blood test should probably be able to confirm if you are pregnant from about a week on, but you'd have to go to your GP to sort this out, I'm not sure they'll do it unless there's a medical reason, but it could be worth a try to put your mind at ease. Some pregnancy tests can work from as early as 5 days before your period is due. I think there's one called first response that does this.

ok its the original poster here again, just to clarify he said at the time he only came slightly but I dont think he came at all as he was finding it difficult to get an erection and when he got one slightly ( not fully ) he entered as this was the best he could do. he didnt keep it that long, id say one minute and didnt enter fully ( about half ) then pulled out. He didnt ejaculate at all that night so im doubting there would be pre cum. So what are my chances of being pregnant, i am right in the middle of my cycle, they say this is the most fertile time. Also when should I go for a test? Am I right to be really worried ?

anniehoo

OP if i had unprotected sex in the middle of my cycle i would be very worried end of story. I dont know what your "chance" of being pregnant is, its down to a number of factors. But, as Dudara says you may also have an STD aswell as a pregancy. Go to the pharmacy or your GP asap.

pink5

Yeah I see what you mean but what im wondering is does it count if he didnt ejaculate at any point, didnt get a full erection ( just enough to be able to enter) ,didnt enter all the way only half, and only stayed in for about one minute. My friend says that a pregnancy in this case is very unlikely even though im mid way through cycle but im getting a bit worried with these replies.

He doesn't have to ejaculate. See a doctor asap. How long has it been since it happened? The sooner you get it sorted the better.

Look there's always the chance of sperm being in pre-cum, and even if there was only a tiny drop of pre-cum there could concieveably (no pun intended) be sperm in there, and it possibly could have made it's way into your vagina (seeing as his penis was in there, it's likely he left something behind whether or not you think so) and if there was sperm in your vagina, it could also make it's way through your cervix, through your uterus and into the fallopian tubes, where - at this time of the month - there could well be an egg waiting for it.

Apologies if that's too graphic, but basically, one sperm is all it takes to get you pregnant. I don't know statistically what the chances of you getting pregnant are. I'd imagine they're low enough, but there's still a chance.

As Annihoo said, if I had unprotected sex in the middle of my cycle, I'd be making damn sure I took the MAP, or failing that got a pregnancy test ASAP. It sounds to me like you're trying to convince yourself that there's not a chance you're pregnant, and as I said the chances are probably quite low, but if I were you I'd follow this up quickly.

pink5

It was only the other night so I know it would probably be too early to tell, no point in going to doctor this soon either, just wondering what my chances really are, like is it a high chance, or very slim chance, im thinking it fine but worried at the same time does that make sense?

bronte

I don't think I could remotely relax if I thought there was even a ghost of a chance tbh.
Can you get the m.a.p. in the morning or will it have been longer than 72 hrs?

pink5

the 72 hours have passed so thats not an option, i think im worrying over nothing really I mean I would want to be very very unlucky to be pregnant, in my view my chance is very slim but im not sure if im in denial or thinking right thats why im askng if other people also think its highly unlikely or very proabable???????????

OP I think you just want to be reassured. You know the chances yourself, you know how these things work. It's not easy to get pregnant, lots of couples who want a bably have to try for a while, but people still get unlucky.

So you have The Fear and are hoping you're not pregnant, right? And need reassurance? You know all this stuff already, you probably won't get preggers, let it be a valuable lesson learned to be more careful in future and for pete's sake get checked out for STD's if it was a fling!

christina_x

Been in a similar situation, and thankfully i was fine! I hope you are too, but the only thing is try your best to stay relaxed! If you stress your period will be later causing you more stress ect! I hope your safe, but do get tested!
