I had sex with a codom, then a couple hours later I had unprotected sex the same night, 2 days before my ovulation date but he pulled out? I know that isn't a very reliable option, but I am worried now. What do you think are the chances of me being pregnant?

Very good chance, of pregnancy, perfect timing on day to conceive, condoms have a 3 to 18 percent failure rate, and pull out is not one at all, since it allows sperm in the early fluids.

I ovulate the 3rd or 4th each month. Last month (March) I had sex on the 19th unprotected, the 30th unprotected (pulled out), the 31st protected, and then April 1st, protected, he wiped off after he flush the condom, & then a couple hours later, we did again, but unprotected and he pulled out. My period starts on the 20th, sometimes the 21st. I have had a good bit of headaches, and mild cramping with a pain in my left lower abdomen, I get light headed really easy now too for some reason, & as well as constipation & pains on my lower back & yesterday, I started itching a lot like everywhere.. I finally took a look at my skin and little single bumps are spaced out everywhere. They kind of look like pimples or like a razor burn bump, kind of. & it itches foreverrr. And now I found a couple of pimples on my face. That NEVER happens to me. I never break out or anything. Could this be pregnancy or do I have some kind of sickness? Help!

You could very well be pregnant but we can't tell you for sure.

The rash could be an allergic reaction totally unrelated to whether you are pregnant. At this time of year there are many allergens in the air. But before you take allergy medication you need to confirm that you are not pregnant. You can test for pregnancy two weeks after you miss a period.

Do you want to be pregnant? It sounds like you're very worried - a typical reaction by people who don't want to be pregnant. So, I wonder why you repeatedly take the risk?

"wiping off" after removing a condom is useless. As is "pulling out" - totally ineffective.

My advice is that if you are not married and not prepared to be a parent, don't have intercourse. There are a lot of reasons above and beyond pregnancy - practical, health and emotional factors - to not have sex with someone with whom you're not yet close enough to be married.

If you do not have the self-control to wait, then at least be responsible enough to go to a doctor, get good advice and get yourself on birth control. Also use a condom every time. Every time. Boys and men, and girls and women, are known to lie particularly about embarrassing things or things that will get them in hot water - for example, the fact that they had sex with someone else last week, or have herpes or HIV. You have to assume you could get pregnant every time you have sex, and assume that you could be infected with a disease by every partner. When you accept these things, you can be more responsible.
