Question:
please help. i am 17 and had sex with my boyfriend. afterwards, he got scared because he said he didn't cum like the usual amount. he got really scared and went to the bathroom and supposedly "examined" it. he said there were no holes in the condom (lifestyle) and that the condom was still air-tight. my period is very very irregular and i haven't got it in 2 or 3 months. normally, i wouldn't worry about it, but i am really scared. could i be pregnant? i guess what i need to know is, when a condom breaks, is it very visible that it broke? or could there be just a small hole in it where semen could have peeped through?---one that he could have looked over because it was so small? i am just worried about being pregnant and don't really have the money or confidence in getting a home pregnancy kit. Is there any reason for me to be worrying?

Thank you for submitting your question. I understand that you are nervous, so I will try to be as helpful as possible. First of all, your boyfriend doesn't have to worry that he didn't produce his "usual" amount of semen. The quantity of semen varies from ejaculation to ejaculation. Although the amount of ejaculatory fluid changes, tears in condoms are not always visible to the human eye. This information (combined with your irregular periods) makes it difficult to determine whether or not you are pregnant. I recommend that you visit your gynecologist or a local family planning clinic. They can provide you with a pregnancy test as well as additional resources. If you are uncomfortable with this, the easiest solution is to purchase a home pregnancy test. Remember though, the results are not 100% accurate. Whatever the results of the test - you and your boyfriend are in this together. I wish that I could be of more help. Keep me posted and know that there will always be someone to support you.
P.S. It is very important that a woman sees a gynecologist as soon as she begins to have sexual intercourse, or when she turns 18, whichever comes first. Reviewed by Sexual Health Editorial Team
