Quick Question - Please Help Posted: 06-20-06 21:24pm
I was just wondering...
I've started my 4th pack of birth control
pills... I always take them on time and
have never missed a pill. My boyfriend
and I noramlly use condoms but one time he
entered me with nothing on (not all the
way, and only for 2 seconds) and another
time the condom broke, but he pulled out
right away.
I recieved my period on time when it was
supposed to come... And everything seems
normal.. However i'm still scared about a
pregnancy risk....
Any insight on this? Am I okay... Am I
clear to relax? Or can you still be
pregnant after having a normal
"period"....

Thank youuuuu to whoever replies.

With birth control you are almost 99%
protected, as long as you take the pill
everyday, hopefully at the same time.(that
way you'll remember and not be late)
you are well protected, but I understand
your concerns and fears.

Thank you for your reply... So you're
saying I should calm down?
I keep trying to relax a bit... But I
have a hard time doing so.

Relax. That is what birth control is for.
To prevent pregnancy.
If you had a 100% normal period and you
are taking your birth control. You can
rest assured you are not pregnant.
Since you have posted many times about
your fear of pregnancy, let me remind you
that you can also use spermicide along
with the condoms and your birth control
pills. You would be so heavily protected
at that point that you could relax and
maybe actually enjoy yourself ;)

You're right... I know I should just
relax. I'm so stupid. Thanks for your
insight... It helps ease my mind.

no, you aren't stupid! You are concerned.
More people should be worried about birth
control. But if you are taking it
correctly and using condoms, your risk is
so low. You should be enjoying sex and
not fretting over it. Sex is supposed to
be fun ~ and if you are thinking about the
minimul risk of pregnancy every single
day, that isn't fun!

Yes, you can definitely relax. I used to
be very worried if my boyfriend even
touched me without a condom, even on the
pill, but eventually we just quit the
condom thing alltogether, and just use
pull-out/ spermicide as a back up. You
are very well protected! And if you are
taking your pills exactly right you have a
very tiny risk of pregnancy even if you
weren't also using condoms. Especially
if you had a normal period, do not worry.

Thank you everyone for your reply. I'm
working on relaxing a bit... But my
anxiety is at it's worst these days due to
the pill... Ironic isnt it? I'm on the
pilll to protect myself and put my mind at
ease, however it only gets worse because
of how uncontrollable my emotions are due
to hormones.
