am i pregnant?
Posted: 07-15-08 13:56pm

hi, i was wondering if i'm pregnant. (which i don't want to be)
- i had sex on july 12
- i had protected sex
- we had dry sex before condom was on (with clothes on)
- i'm scared because my period is suppose to come soon

so i'm wondering what are the chances of me becoming pregnant? i'm really paranoid.

It doesn't really sound like there's any reason to think you're pregnant. Why are you so concerned?

I agree with Georgia59. You have taken precautions and the risk is minimal. You may want to consider a birth control pill. This will ease your worries and help prevent an unplanned pregnancy.

No, sperm cannot travel through clothing.

I agree with antigone about looking into birth control. That way you don't need to worry about what happens before you put on the condom. It's a lot less stressful that way. Smile

I'd say you have the same chance as anyone else who has protected sex with a condom.
You're fine. Smile

When was it due?
Deep breaths hun. If nothing else, you're stressed about "maybe" being pregnant.

If you're late then test, if not then relax. Wink

the best idea is to take a test, as it would most likely be an accurate reading by now...

She had sex 8 days ago.
There's no way a test would be accurate now.

You're going to have to wait awhile. How long have your periods been messed up? You may want to speak with a doctor about birth control-- at the very least to regulate your periods.

Getting pregnant with a condom is possible just un likely. My baby beat the odd's and I am now 4 days over due with my bubba who was concieved with a condom ... I was also on the pill but had been sick a couple days before so I thought I was taking lots of care by also making my partner wear a condom. Turns out you can never be to careful. In saying that don't worry because my case is very rare, as for sperm travelling through clothes ... :S hmm nope maybe if you had a thin layer of cotton between you and you could feel the wetness from one person to the other, but highly un likely just sounds like your periods are not yet formed into a strong pattern, I am guessing you are young.

Yes, thats too early.
If you can't wait, then go to your planned parenthood and ask when you'd be able to take a blood test-- it will be more accurate and will be able to give you an answer sooner
