    Can I be pregnant and by whom?
    Hi I am a 20 year old college student. While staying on campus I met this guy. On October 24 we had protected sex . I then went home for the weekend. While at home my ex came over to be with my brother in law because they are best friends. My brother in law is who introduced us. So while over on October 27 we were suppose to be talking but it led to unprotected sex with him. Today is November 11 I was due to start my cycle yesterday but it not normal. I'm bleeding but it lighter and I'm not having normal period pains. My urine is also much darker. When I looked up something such as ovulation it said my ovulation day was its highest on October 27. Is it possible I am pregnant and who would be the father if I am?

    Of course anytime you have sex you can become pregnant. If you are pregnant, either one could be the father.

    The first guy was protected and did last at all stop him before it came to that point he didn't finish.

    Condoms can fail. I would not discount either lover. Either could be the father if you are indeed pregnant.

    How would I know if I'm pregnant?
    I'm unsure and scared to take a test?

    A blood test would give you an answer. It's possibly too early for an at-home test. Go to your college nurse for help.

    Unless you are actively tracking your ovulation cycle you can't know when you ovulated. It isn't as simple as half-way through your menstrual cycle.

    Yes, you could be pregnant. As you already seem to know, no form of birth control is 100% effective and the encounters are too close together to know which one might have fertilized the egg. If you are pregnant, you would need to wait for a DNA test to know which male is the father.

    You can wait until you miss a period and test or you can try earlier and you may or may not get an accurate result.

    Using a condom and "not finishing" doesn't make a hill-of-beans difference in the great scheme of things. You could be pregnant by either guy.

    First thing first, find out if you are pregnant. You can worry about possible fathers if there is a pregnancy.

    If you don't want to wait for a missed period, see a doctor about different methods of birth control and what might be best for you. You could also talk to them about the possibility of already being pregnant and they will probably do a pregnancy test.

    Understand that stress and concern can cause irregularities in your cycle.

    I'm bleeding already just not like normal.
    I'm not stressed over the situation.
    I don't mind having a child because I am able to care for it.
