Unplanned pregnancy and contraception methods Posted: 12-31-07 02:23am
For those who weren't PLANNING to get
pregnant, I am curious as to what kind of
protection did you use, if any? [condom
and it broke? birth control and it was
ineffective? pull-out? ]
Just curious. =)

I know it's not a form of birth control or
protection, but some use it and get away
with it for awhile. From reading around, I
concluded that you're pregnant, but you
didn't use anything? Or did you want a
child?

no he didnt pull out. we used a condom
like...one time? maybe 2?
theres really no point in pulling out
since it doesnt protect you from pregnancy
at all

I don't know, I think that if it is used
correctly, it could be okay. I really
don't want to find out [hoping]. I've
researched a lot into it, and have read
that pre-ejaculate, according to new
studies, show there is no sperm present
unless he has already ejaculated or
whatever. But, theres so many different
things doctors say, I don't know what to
believe. Point is, protection should be
used if someone doesn't want a child. Ha.
To state the obvious. Pulling out is kinda
like russian roulette. ha.

no this is not true
pre ejac DOES contain sperm in it. no
studies have EVER proven otherwise
a man does not know when he precums
they cant feel it
so you wouldnt be able to tell or "pull
out" in time
lol its the russian roulette of sex

Nah, there have been new studies that have
said that the precum has no live sperm in
it UNLESS the guy has ejaculated and not
urinated before that... I'm going to look
it up for you and link you, cause this is
the very information that got me all
kindsa confused. haha. I'll link you when
I find it. And if I have really known when
I was ovulating, I've had sex, using pull
out, during those times & I don't
think I am preg. [ I did spot a little
this month, and then I had two heavy days
of bleeding, so I seriously doubt I am,
although I was scared at first because I
had some symptoms. ]

heres some info i found for you
also you can go to any dr and ask about it
they will
all tel you that precum does contain sperm
in it and no studies have proven otherwise
(planned parenthood will also support this
info)
Pre-cum or pre-ejaculatory fluid is
released when a guy gets an erection. It
cleans out the inside of the urethra,
which is the tube that carries semen and
urine out of the penis.
While having intercourse or just playing
around, there are two kinds of fluids
released by the penis. The first of this
is the pre-ejaculate or pre-cum, which is
a lubricant made by a gland in the penis.
The second fluid is released during
ejaculation and is semen. This fluid is
made in the testicles and carries sperms
along with any sexually transmittable
infections
The pre-cum has enough of the swimmers to
arrive at your uterus and the fallopian
tubes. What’s worse is that the sperm
can live for 3-5 days in a very favorable
environment, like inside your wet womb. So
even if you’re infertile, once the sperm
touches the mucous in your vulva, which
aids it in going inside your reproductive
system, the sperm can thrive there. This
makes conception eventually possible even
if you had sex or were playing around
several days before ovulation.
the way sperm gets into precum is when the
precum ppicks up sperm inside the urethra
of the mae and travels out into the
vagina,thus a possiblity of pregnancy
occurs

oh yeah if you bled i would say 99%
positive ur not pregnant because women
rarely bleed at all during pregnancy its
extremely rare and bleeding is not a
symptom of pregnancy
have you tested yet?

Yes, which is where I read that there can
only be live sperm if there is leftover
sperm, which will be released in the
pre-ejaculate. Nonetheless, I'm still
researching and I hope the pull-out method
has worked for me thusfar, and I hope to
make better decisions in the future. ha.

Nah, I don't want to until I miss a period
for sure. I was just confused because I
have always had a regular period, and then
I had a 3 minute spotting one day, and
then it happened again the next, about the
same time, but eventually I had a heavy
two day period. So I then realized I most
likely was not.

I've been with the same guy for awhile,
although I know that does not ensure a
negative STD. hah. However, I do get pap
smears regularly, I should be getting one
sometime in January. I'll just use a
condom next time if I want to be safe,
haha. I don't think I like the idea of the
pill.

yeah everything has side effects but
remmebr if you got any you could
definately stop the BC you were using
yes the implant goes in your arm its very
very tiny! you cant even tell you have it
the IUD is non hormonal so it doesnt have
any side effects such as weight gain or
blood clots or anything

i'd probably consider that then. i don't
get why people who use bc use ones that do
have side effects like that? i don't know.
i obviously don't know much about birth
control. haha. i still don't know why i am
having so many symptoms. body is tricking
me.
