Could We Be Pregnant?
Posted: 05-14-07 10:53am

My girlfriend and I have had sex three times now. We have used condoms everytime and most all but one time I have not ejaculated. The first and the third time we used Plan B within the first 24 hours. The only time we didn't take Plan B was about three days after her period and we thought that there would be no way that she could be pregnant. She has started showing symptoms of pregnancy in the past four days though. Things like nausa, fatigue, and tender breasts. Thoughts on if it is plausable that we are pregnant?

If you are using condoms there is no need for her to be taking plan b after every incounter. Only if there is a break or hole in the condom. You two seem very worried about becoming pregnant. You may want to talk to her about going on some form of birth control (ie the pill) while you use condoms at the same time.

As for the pregnancy symptoms. Pms and early pregnancy symptoms are almost identical. While I doubt she is pregnant, if you two are concern wait until she has missed her period and take a test.

Like mc said, she should not be taking plan b every time. Plan b is not meant to be a form of birth control for every time you have sex.

You can ejaculate. She can get pregnant even if you don't, so there is not much point in holding back.

She can get pregnant at any time of the month. That includes before her period, during her period, and after her period.

The symptoms of early pregnancy are the same as symptoms of dozens of other things. We cannot tell you if she is pregnant.

She needs to go to the ob-gyn, get checked out, and talk to her doctor about birth control. Something like condoms or spermicide along with the pill or the patch might be good for you two.

It sounds like you two have quite a bit to learn about birth control and pregnancy, so make sure she asks her doctor a lot of questions. You also might find this site helpful: http://www.coolnurse .com/sex_faqs_index.htm
