    First-time sex and risk of pregnancy?
    Me and my boyfriend have had sex twice and were both virgins until those two times. We used a condom both times but I'm scared about getting pregnant. Is there any way at all possible that I could be pregnant?

    If you had protected sex then the chance of you being/getting pregnant is very slim. If you want to put your minds a little more at ease do what I done for the longest time. Go on birth control AND use a condom. Two contraceptives instead of one. That way if something happens where the condoms breaks at anytime at least you will be protected by birth control as a back up :)

    Condoms on average have a 10 percent failure rate as normally used.

    So you had sex twice, if there were 20 guns and only two were loaded, how much would you take to pick up two of the guns, point them at yourself and pull a trigger, it is not as much a percent of chance, it is did you have sex during the most fertile or less fertile time of the month
    ** that will add to the risk.

    ** were these good fresh condoms, and a good major brand, that helps

    ** were they keep in a hot place, glove box a wallet ? That adds to the risk.

    After taking them off, did he rub or tough you with his hands or penis ? Can add to risk.

    So can you be pregnant from this, yes of course, no form of birth control is 100 percent, condoms while they help are far from 100 percent.

    But if the condom didn't break and there was no touching from the penis to the vagina or from the penis to the hand to the vagina then the risk of pregnancy is VERY slim. And no contraceptive is ever 100% but that doesn't mean you shouldn't take extra caution when having sex. Especially when its only your first time or first couple times doing it. Its better being prepared MORE than less or not at all.

    To quote FrChuck:

    "*Did you have sex during the most fertile or less fertile time of the month - that will add to the risk.

    Ask your Pharmacist for the statistics.

    I love the "very slim" risk of pregnancy using condoms. Not at all accurate. I won't give a disagree, but you're way off the mark. When used correctly a condom has a 10% failure rate. The majority of people don't use condoms correctly.

    The facts are, any time you have sex, even with one, two, even three forms of birth control, pregnancy is possible.

    If I had a dime for every friend that was told that condoms are safe, or that contraception means you won't get pregnant, that got pregnant, I'd be rich.

    The most memorable friend has PCOD, one ovary, was told by three different doctors that she'd never conceive, was on the pill, and used a condom, and guess what? Three kids!

    So don't spout words like "very slim risk". Sex = pregnancy. No matter what you use, or how safe you are, there's a chance. So, if you're not ready to be a mommy, you're not ready for sex.

    I have five boys, four of them happened while using at least one form of birth control, two of them born when we were using two forms of birth control, This story is common.

    You are always going to have that risk, but you can minimize it! Try going on the pill/implant or something, there are loads of ways and you can get information and all of it done with out your parents knowing if your worried? Try finding sexual health clinics in your area x
