My boyfriend and I had protected sex last month, December 25th. He pulled out and noticed that there was a hole, but he was not close to at all. My period was due on the 29th and today is January 7th, but it's still not here making it eight days late. Is there any way I am possibly pregnant even with zero ejaculation? Why is my period late? Is it because I'm freaking out? Please help and no rude comments please!

It could be a number of things. First thing is not to panic as that won't help. It is possible to get pregnant through pre come that your boyfriend possibly was not aware of. Seen as you are late a shop bought test should be able to detect pregnancy alternatively you could go see your doctor. Sometimes your cycle can change though and unless you are always regular and track your day you can never be sure. Rather then stress out just take the test and then at least you will know for sure. Good luck

Yes it could easily be a pregnancy, pulling out does not stop sperm, this is a old myth. And not a real method of birth control. But you can not test at 8 days late and need to wait at least another 6 days. Then do a pregnancy test using the first urine of the morning.


It can also be other issues, so if it is not pregnancy, you should see your doctor

I had sex with my boyfriend December 25th and he was using a condom. He always checks the condom and noticed that it popped so there was a hole on top. However, he said he wasn't close to ejaculating and he only pre-ejaculates when he is not being played with. (sorry) My period was due on the 29th, and today is January 7th, but I still haven't gotten it. There are no signs/symptoms of pregnancy or my period at all. Is there a possibility of being pregnant? He says he's highly sure I'm not. What are my chances? Percentages? Likely or unlikely?

This has also happened in the summer when I had sex before my period, and it didn't come until eight days.

My cycle has been like this:
Sept: 33
Oct: 27
Nov: 28
Dec: 25

There's no way to give you a percentage. We can tell you that the possibility of pregnancy is there. There's no such thing as safe sex, only safer sex. No form of birth control is 100%, the condom doesn't have to break in order to fail, and there's plenty of sperm in pre to get you pregnant.

Wait another week. If you haven't gotten your period, try a pregnancy test using first morning urine. If that test is negative, wait until your next period is due. If you miss it, test again or see your doctor for a blood test.

The only way to avoid pregnancy 100%, is to not have sex. There are women on this site that used 3 forms of birth control, all correctly, and still got pregnant. Any time you have sex, you could get pregnant, with or without protection, and frankly, condoms are the least reliable form of birth control.

Good luck.
