Is there a slightest chance to be pregnant ? Posted: 09-29-03 13:29pm
I'm new to this so bare with me...
I'm 19 years old, engaged, and have
recently become sexually active. My
boyfriend and I are extremely careful
about everything, but this month, on the
last day of my period (7 days into it)
something was off. Once we realized this,
we checked the condom by filling it up
with water, even squeezing it and nothing
came out even with the added
pressure...Just in case I also washed up
there with soap and water... I had
totally not thought about it until a few
days later when I began vomitting and I
have been for about a week (probably just
my nerves) anyway, I know this is getting
long and rambly, and I know i'm paranoid
and crazy, but is there even the slightest
of slight chance that I could be pregnant?
He did cum, so how can you tell when a
condom does break? Does a strong base
like soap kill sperm? If anyone has any
idea at all, please please please respond,
I would very much appreciate it!!!!!

Hello! Congratulations on being engaged!
But I think you should be fine. Take a
test when your next period is late. Thats
the way to know. I remember I thought I
was pregnant and I was feeling sick,
taking naps, I was tired, having cramps,
my breasts hurt!!! And then my period
came! I think once we get that thought of
pregnancy our minds make us believe we
are. And we notice all these signs too.
But take a test ok? And the way the
condom breaks (from what I see) is you
squeeze the condom to the bottom and if it
did a bubble type will come out (sperm
bubble) and thats when you know. My
husband did that everytime. If you
checked with water and everything you
should be fine. Good luck!

It's probably a good idea to mention that
generally you are not fertile until
several days after your period is
finished. The period expels out all the
endometrial lining in the uterus including
any eggs that might not have fertilized
during that cycle, I believe. You don't
release new eggs until a few days after
your period is over. I have never seen
anyone get pregnant while on a period.
Since you are just now becoming sexually
active, it's a good time to get an annual
physical done by your gynecologist, and to
ask him to educate you further on things
like cycles and fertility. Don't hesitate
to ask questions ... That's what they are
there for!
