I was having sex with my boyfriend and he wasn't using a condom. He ejaculated on my stomach and some kind of dripped down to my vagina area but not a lot. I should expect to get my period soon too. Is there a good chance I might get pregnant??

You had sex--there's a chance you can get pregnant.

You didn't use protection--there's an even BETTER chance you can get pregnant.

If you don't want to get pregnant, stop being stupid and use protection, or better yet, stop having sex.

You should think about this before you spread your legs, too late now!!

YEA it can happen. Just because his penis wasn't INSIDE your vagina doesn't mean that sperm won't get there. If he Jizzes on the outside you can still get pregnant. I think... you... need... to... protect... yourself... more... That's obviously the case. Wear a condom. Get on Birthcontrol. It has to be close. Good luck!

You said a "little" ran down onto your vaginal area, well guess what? You CANNOT see one sperm with the naked eye. And that is all it takes to fertilize an egg, ONE microscopic sperm. So yes, there is a chance of you being pregnant. And while were on the subject of birth control, there is only one form that is 100 % guaranteed, Abstinence.

Is there a good chance I might get pregnant???
Yes.

And even if you ignore the fact that he ejaculated on your stomach and some "dripped down", which absolutely can get you pregnant... the fact you're using no birth control and using (I assume) withdrawal (you did say you were having sex) means he could easily come inside you before withdrawal.

Studies show that while ejaculation and orgasm commonly occur in a short time, that the two are actually different events, controlled differently by the body... meaning he can technically begin to ejaculate before he feels orgasm.

Also the rate of failure with withdrawal is all over the place, ranging from low %s that match the pill (around 4%) to as high as mid 20's-30% failure. The high rate means essentially one person in four who uses withdrawal as their means of birth control gets pregnant.

1 in 4 is crappy odds if you are not interested in getting pregnant.

Add to that the fact that some semen "dripped down" and you are really, really playing against some bad odds. Doesn't mean you are pregnant... I don't know where you were in your cycle... but if you were fertile, you did a lot of things wrong.

My advice: if you are not going to be abstinate... the only way to avoid pregnancy, then you'd better use birth control AND on top of that learn how to track your fertility cycle... use of a condom and refraining from sex during your most fertile days isn't perfect, but better than this.

It takes work and effort, but not as much as it takes to care for a baby.

Oh my god-this is not really a good question, but they are all good replies/answers.

Think before doing, would be good advice for you.

Ill try to be positive although everyone else is probably rite, the vagina is a unstable environment for sperm... it depends on how much you call "a little" but its possible the sperm died before reaching its target. BUT ITS JUST A POSSIBILITY.giving hope

First what was missed was that they were having sex, just from the pre-fluid before he withdrew to finish, plenty of sperm was already in her from that.

So yes pulling out is not a birth control method.

some people take the "glass half full" approach and that's fine. Not knocking your trying to give hope. Truth is pregnancy is neither impossible nor inevitable here.

that said, I'm hoping the scare she faces over the next few weeks is enough to make her change her sexual practices. That would be a good thing to come from a bad situation. To me this question is like saying "i took the brakes off my car parked on a hill and let it roll unoccupied. any chance it hurt someone or caused damage?"... yes. Of course it depends on a number of things like where you were and time of day (ie fertility window)...

two points. Sperm can lose viability quickly, especially when they dry out... but sperm can be kept viable up to an hour outside the body if close to body temp and with minimal drying. The fact the semen "dripped down" means it was wet, and I'm guessing maybe she didn't sit there for a long time before getting up to cleanup? So... wet semen should be treated as viable.

also, mentioning that the vagina isn't an environment that will sustain sperm for a long time is a little silly for this situation. While its true the acidic environment of the vagina isn't hospitable, the alkaline solution in semen counteracts this to some degree. I mean, presentation of semen into the vagina is kind of the leading method of getting someone pregnant, right? =) true.. it needs to move through the cervix, but I wouldn't imply the vagina is a natural barrier to sperm viability due to an "unstable environment" in order to make her feel better about her sexual practices. Semen in vagina can very much = great method to get pregnant.

didn't rate you a disagree, since everything was factually true in one context... but not necessarily true for her situation.

Probably not. How about using birth control so you don't ruin your life?

I can't say this enough, but apparently I haven't said it enough because here I am on another thread posting to another girl who had unprotected sex. And yes dear, that's exactly what you did. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but sex causes pregnancy, it can also cause STD's. It only takes one teeny tiny sperm to fertilize an egg, so if you're using the "pull out method" you are taking a big risk. Why not go on the pill, or use a condom, or better yet, use both. If you don't want a baby that take precautions. Really, the balls in your court.

I'm also concerned that this is just another level of inconsiderate behavior on his part in a relationship that has a lot of issues. She's worried about her boyfriend being racist or at least working in a job that seems to be feeding a tendency toward racially inappropriate dialogue, she's cited his perceived inconsiderate behavior (the birthday party noise), and now she's worried that mistakes made with unprotected sex can make her pregnant.

I can't tell you who to love, but it seems like you are stressing a lot over this relationship. Id at least like to see you use some form of birth control, especially with fertility tracking.. though my wife became pregnant using all of these precautions.
