Question:
Ok this is my question: I have a problem with strssing out everytime I have sex with my boyfried. Since I stress so much he decided that he'd only have sex with me for less than 5 minutes. he didn't ejaculate or anything because it was only 5 minutes. the condom did break or anything. And i don't know if he pre-ejculated how small is the chance of me getting pregnant? Also afterwards we did oral sex, and then he ejculated but i was no where near him he wiped himself off and like 30-40 minutes later he gave me oral sex and fingered me at the same time. Could that put me a a greater risk at being pregnant? Last question, before my last period on the 13th of May i took the "Morning after Pill" and my period came early (May 13) it was scheduled to come on the 15th of May. When would i be ovulating? and does it changed because I took the Morning after pill? my next period should start between the 8th-10th In desperate need of peace of mind

Well, from the wording of your first statement, I am not sure if the condom broke or not, but even if it did, the fact that your boyfriend did not ejaculate reduces the risk of pregnancy. There is always pre-cum or pre-ejaculate when the penis is erect, so using condoms is a smart choice. Have you looked in to other birth control methods, such as the pill, the patch, the ring, or Depo-Provera (an injection given once overy three months)? Since you seem so stressed about pregnancy, one of these methods may ease your fears and allow you to enjoy your sexual experiences more with your partner. The Pill, the injection, the ring and the patch all work hormonally and have over 99% effectiveness when used correctly. If you use the Pill, it must be taken every day, approximately the same time each day. The Patch is applied to the arm or the area near the buttocks once a week, and left on. It is changed each week, and the last week there is no patch as this is when menstruation will occur. The ring is inserted into the vagina, all the way to the cervix (like a diaphragm) and left in place for three weeks, then removed for menstruation. The ring may also be removed for intercourse if the couple prefers, for up to three hours without interrupting its effectiveness. The injection (Depo-Provera) can be admisistered at such places as a Planned Parenthood, and is given once every three months. This can be very convenient, less stressful and allow partners more spontaneity in their love-making, as they do not have to be concerned about using condoms and/or spermicides each time, and can be free to enjoy each other with reduced worries. Taking the morning after pill could change your cycle slightly, as the powerful dose of hormones is a lot for our bodies to handle. Many women experience severe physical reactions to taking it, such as nausea, and vomiting and cramping. As far as ovulation is concerned, some women are very predictable with their cycles, and others are irregular. Ovulation occurs approximately 14 days before menstruation. So, if your cycle was 28 days, ovulation would occur around day 14, if it was 36 days, ovulation would occur around day 22. Day one of the menstrual cycle is the day bleeding starts. The problem is that if your are irregular, it can be difficult to estimate ovulation. This is why you may want to consider a different form of birth control. A good website you may want to visit for more information is www.teenwire.com. This is a site for teens offered by Planned Parenthood on sexuality and reproductive health facts, as well as contraception information. I also recommend www.plannedparenthood.org, for information and resources.
