1. can it still cause pregnancy, yes
2. pulling out is not a birth control method, it only reduces the amount of sperm there is still lots of sperm in the early fluid
3. if you are having unprotected sex and not on birth control, I owuld expect you want to have a baby, since that is how it happens
4. Even with a condom and on birth control people stlll sometimes gets pregnant, we have several experts here that it has happened to
4. and I forget the exact time frame, but the longer from the time you had sex, the less effective the morning after pill is. It is not 100 percent even if taken right after. and the longer you wait it is less and less effective.

So is there a lesser chance, yes, but would you put one bullet in a gun that holds 20, and point it at you and pull the trigger, That is what having sex without both birth control and condom is like,

For example if you were still using a condom, at least 10 percent of they time they fail.

confusedbyitall disagrees: Where did you get that figure, 10% of the time they fail, and what is "failure"? Imperfect use? Is it a break? ? I think your assessment of my response to her is off. We are in agreement, it would seem, that she should do something and be aware.

Get your rear end on birth control.

Reading your other posts, you and your boyfriend have enough issues without adding a baby into it.

And having sex = babies. NOTHING but abstinence is 100%. I'm one of the experts Chuck was talking about--Pill, condom, spermicide, and the second time I'd had sex, and I got pregnant.

Not all women ovulate 14 days after their menstrual cycle starts. Some ovulate earlier, some later, and some DURING their period. If you aren't charting your ovulation, there's no way I could tell you whether or not you're ovulating.

Fr_Chuck agrees: ok you, I had forgotten who they were
confusedbyitall agrees: Even if you chart your fertility well, there is still that possibility. Read up on it, a lot, but why not just go on something!

I've read some things that say precum doesn't have sperm in it, now, as opposed to previous studies. If he came in you, though, you did have it in you a while. It sounds like it was an ok time of month for that, sort of. Not the best, but not the riskiest. But... While some have said so far, 10% of the time the condom fails, what does fail mean, that is, if you did use one, but you didn't. And if 10% if fails, and only about 30% of the month you are most likely to get pregnant anyway... And even if he cums in you when you are most likely to get pregnant... it's not totally 100% you will, by far!!! That is pretty good. You can watch your time of the month, but in this case, it sounds like you aren't doing that, you just, maybe, got lucky.

I would say, if you want a thrill every now and then, then go for it, but wait until maybe 5 days or less before your period starts, otherwise use a condom or go on the pill.

Good question, why not just go on the pill???

Fr_Chuck disagrees: obviously no real knowledge of the methods and the effects
J_9 disagrees: And you got your education where? Wow, you are WAY off!!!
kp2171 disagrees: absolutely awful answer. one of the worst i have seen on the sex boards, ever.
JudyKayTee disagrees: Should not be giving advice on this board about a subject which he doesn't understand.

Pre-ejaculate does contain sperm, not as much as regular ejaculate, but they are there and all it takes is one. As far as the thrill...ummm as long as you want a baby go for it. Like other posters have said...everyones cycle is different, and sex=babies (especially without protection).

Comments on this post
confusedbyitall disagrees: see links on my subsequent post. I didn't say it doesn't, I said I had read some things that say it doesn't. There is a difference. And I AGREE, go on something!!!!
JudyKayTee agrees: Equalizer - misuse of "comments" feature

Well, folks, it has been a month. The OP probably knows whether or not she is pregnant by now.

It would be nice to have an update.
