Question:
Well, me 'n my boyfriend had sex at his house, in his bathtub, and thing is, im on birth control and he DOES NOT use a condom, i'm okay with that. We agreed on it, but im not sure how long it took for the birth control to work because i just started a new type of birth control a few weeks ago. When me 'n my boyfriend had sex, he pulled out before he finished, and let it out in the tub. I sat down in the water because i was shaking really bad, is it possible that i can become pregnant??

From my knowledge it is unlikely, especially being on birth control hormones (I assume that is what you meant by "on birth control"), that you got pregnant from the sperm in the bath water. Nevertheless I have heard a few strange things when it comes to unplanned pregnancies. My advice (although I know the embarassment factor is high and is easier to ask here) is that if you are still feeling anxious, place a call to the doctor who put you on the birth control, explain the situation, and see if he or she recommends you take a test. Editors note: Another possibility is that you can go to the store and buy a home pregnancy test kit.
