    Could I be pregnant? Help please.
    I stared my period last Sunday & by Thursday I felt I was done with it so my boyfriend and I decided to have sex. We did not use a condom, as always we just used the pull out method. He prematurely ejaculated into me and the next day, I had spotting, could I be pregnant? Oh and since the very begging of September my period has been irregular, I had spotting then 2 days later it got heavier, then 2 weeks later I got my period again which seemed regular, and now another two weeks late I started it again. . Please help.

    If you are fertile, female, and having sex, you can be pregnant. Knowing the odds won't help - you either are or aren't. The symptoms you describe are very common when not pregnant, but it also doesn't mean you aren't pregnant. Pulling out has a fairly high failure rate even if he doesn't ejaculate inside you anyway. So buy some test kits, and see a clinic for better birth control. Worrying is no fun, right?

    Joy is right. You could indeed be pregnant this time, and you're lucky you weren't pregnant all the other times you had unprotected sex.

    Playing Russian Roulette with unprotected sex, is gambling. Many thousands of teens/young women have lost this game, and ended up bringing an innocent child into this world. That you have not yet become pregnant is probably indicative that your luck is about to run out, if it hasn't this time.

    If you aren't pregnant, please get to a health clinic and get on the pill, AND use a condom- every single time. Until you are educated, with a good job, money in the bank, and the maturity to raise a child for a few decades, please consider NOT having sex, until you have at least some assurance you won't be producing a child.

    Let's put probabilities in perspective because so many questions here start with 'What are my chances of being pregnant?' Most women who have unprotected sex get pregnant within the first year; I think I saw the number 85% (it can vary according to who is compiling the data, and where). Now we all know plenty of women who got pregnant the very first time they had sex. It just means that other women took longer. Being a statistic is just a number. YOU are either pregnant or you aren't. If I tell you that the pull out method fails 25% of the time, do you say, oh good, I have a 3 in 4 chance of NOT getting pregnant? Not the way to look at it. Someone, and it could be you, is the one who really is the 1 in 4 who DID get pregnant. That's why playing the odds is like Russian Roulette.
