My girlfriend is on the pill and takes it
religiously. We are sexually active but
almost always use condoms as well just for
the peace of mind.
She started her period this last friday,
ended it sunday/monday morning and on
monday we had sex without a condom and I
finished in her.
I have two questions.
1, should I be worried about her being
pregnant? I'll be the first to admit that
i'm kind of a worrier and am pretty sure I
don't have to worry but would like some
reassurance.
And 2, does the fact that she was only on
the 4th day of her new cycle lower the
risk of pregnancy at all?
Please let me know.
Thanks :d

As long as she is taking her pill
correctly and not on antibiotics, she's
fine. The chance of pregnancy is about 0
(since no method other than abstinence is
100%).

1. As the person above me mentioned, the
pill is just under 100% effective by
itself, about 98% or so I believe.
2. Yes and no. Women are not usually
fertile at that time if (that's a big if)
they have the perfect 28 day cycle with
ovulation occurring about day 14. Not
many women have that perfect and
predictable cycle, however. That is why
birth control is needed every time.
Women can even get pregnant when they are
having their period! Sperm can live a
little while in the vagina, and also we
just don't know exactly when we are going
to ovulate.
