risk of pregnancy ?
Posted: 07-17-08 10:13am

Hello,

My ex-girlfriend and I broke up recently, and I%u2019ve been worried about her being pregnant from the last time we had sex. It%u2019s consuming me horribly, because it was hard enough already to end the relationship. Could someone tell me how safe I am?

She was taking BC (tri-cyclen) for at least a year. She had her period on Tuesday or Wednesday (not sure exactly) and was supposed to start a new pack of BC on Friday (as she usually does). However, she kept forgetting to go to the doctor for a new prescription, so she didn%u2019t start BC again. We had sex the following Tuesday or Wednesday (I can%u2019t remember exactly) %u2013 i.e. 5 or 6 days after she was supposed to start BC and 7-8 days after starting her period.

Now, I know I wore a condom during sex, but I%u2019m still really worried because condoms do fail at times. I don%u2019t remember the condom breaking, but I still can%u2019t get this out of my mind! Am I blowing this up out of proportion?! Or is there a significant risk?!

Thanks for your help.

Sounds to me like it's fine. You said yourself that you don't recall the condom breaking (or falling off, I'm assuming).

You're blowing it out of proportion...just take a couple breaths.

And, I have to applaud you for wearing a condom. Too many people DON'T in your situation and it bothers the bejesus out of me.

Well, I'm mostly worried because I'm not in touch with her anymore, so I can't really find out if she gets her period. Even if I was in touch, it's not something I'd be comfortable bringing up.

Given the breakup, this scares me!
