PREGNANCY INFORMATION

AM I READY FOR SEX?

advice

so me and my boyfriend had sex on wednesday the 18th protected. then like an hour later, he put it in for like 10 seconds unprotected and pulled out really fast and said "i could feel it start to come out but i know it didnt" and i could tell it didnt too. i was supposed to start yesterday (the 20th) but didnt, which is fine cause my schedule isnt completely set and is always a few days early or late. but i was wondering, since we had sex only 2 days before my period was supposed to start and we both know he didnt cum inside me, is there anyway i could be pregnant? please dont be mean to me abouot this, i really am nervous already. thank you:)
ps, im 16/f.

For people who ask questions if they're pregnant:

We do not know every detail about your circumstance, nor are most of us doctors, so we cannot tell for certain whether or not you are pregnant. Pregnancy tests can be very accurate, and when in complete doubt, going to a REAL doctor can be even more accurate.

That being said, here are some facts about pregnancy:

-Even if every single factor was in place for you to get pregnant, there is still at MOST an 80% chance of pregnancy, without any birth control or condoms.
-Just putting on a condom does not guarantee that you won't get pregnant-there's a 98% success rate for condoms if they are ALWAYS USED EXACTLY CORRECTLY, but for the average person, the success rate drops to 85%.
-The pill is a very effective form of birth control. There are two forms of the pill, combination pills and mini-pills. The perfect use success rate (you take it exactly as you should without missing any) for the combination pill is more than 99% and for the mini-pill is 97%. The average person has a success rate of about 95%.
-The pill is a great method of birth control for people in committed relationships, because it is much more effective than condoms, and less expensive and more convenient. However, if you are not in a committed relationship, you should be using condoms, because the pill does NOT prevent STD's.
-"pre-cum can get you pregnant, it has sperms". This is a common misconception, that cowper's gland secretions, A.K.A. "pre-cum", contain sperm. However, pre-cum only contains sperm that is left over from previous ejaculations; if you urinate between ejaculations, there will be no sperm in your pre-cum.

The important thing to keep in mind is that every time you have sex, there is SOME risk of pregnancy, even if it is infinitesimally small. Remember the wise words of Dr. Cox, “Statistics mean nothing to the individual.”

okay so i was at my friend's house and her boyfriend was over and his friend was over too. we were watching a movie and his friend (we'll call him mitch) came and sat by me. halfway thru the movie his put his arm around me and like..rubbed his foot on mine. after the movie he said he had to go to sleep cuz he had to work in the morning. he left and then 5 min. later he came back and asked if i wanted to go lay down with him..and...well the bad thing is i did but nothing happened..we just cuddled. i dont even kno his last name. :/ missa 15/f

I don't know if you understand what booty call means; he was with you and he never called you.

You didn't hook up, and even if you did, there's nothing wrong with it. For it to be a booty call, he would have to be at home, or somewhere else away from you, CALL YOU, and you would come to where he was in order to hook up. This doesn't sound like that at all.

hi, today i just found out that i got a job at the sports authority. the only problem is im being subjected to a drug test on this coming monday. the last time i smoked marijuana was exactly 7 days ago. I am a frequent user but this past month i have not been smoking as often as usual. (lately only 1 to 2 times per week) I bought cranberry juice (not cranberry cocktail) and i went to the vitamin shoppe and bought Herbal Clean Q Carbo maximum strength detox. Do any of you have any tips on when i should drink this product and what else i could do to prepare for my drug test? Also, if i pee less than the amount they need me to and claim i cant go to the bathroom will that also help me pass the test?

I'm sorry to say but if you smoke 1 to 2 times per week, the test can trace back up to a month of marijuana use. They need a very small amount so they probably won't believe that you can't fill up the cup. I know this isn't what you want to hear but odds are you're not passing that test.

whenever i google something it doesnt let me click on the link and it totally freezes and it does that with ever seach engine. so what can i do to fix that? is it a virus?
thanks so much for the help!
kaaitlyn.

That could be a lot of things. Depending on how much memory the computer has, you could just have too many things running at once. Try closing all your other programs, or try turning the computer off and back on.

It could be a virus, or it could be spyware. For windows, this is a good free spyware remover:

for mac, it's less likely to be spyware or a virus, but you can always check with a program like macscan:

So my friend and I are doing a compare and contrast poster comparing the modern daughter today and her qualities verses the perfect daughter back then during shakespeare times and her qualities. We're doing Dakota Fanning for our modern daughter but I'm not finding much on the perfect daughter back then. Any Help?

Arguably, Cordelia from King Lear would be a perfect daughter. Though she doesn't "sugar coat" things, she ends up being the only one faithful to her father. In comparison to Goneril and Regan, Cordelia starts to look more and more perfect.

im getting the ipod touch and i was wondering can you get facebook on it and do you hove to pay to use facebook on it ?

There is a facebook app for iPod Touch, it's the same as for iPhone, but you have to have wifi to use it. You can also use Safari to use the full version, the mobile version, or a special online version for iPhone and iPod Touch.

They're all free.

In my psychology class we trade tests, and someone random grades it. I was going over my test to see what I got wrong for my final thats coming up, and realized a bonus question was counted wrong. The answer I wrote on the bonus question was identical to what we'd written in our notes/the correct answer. My grader counted it wrong, and that question is worth 5 points.

I got an 89 on this test, and if i'd gotten a 90, i'd be able to exempt the final. well, if my answer had been counted right, i would have a 94, therefore being able to exempt the final. the thing is, we took this exam on sept 23, and i only noticed now when reviewing for my final.

do you think its worth showing my teacher, and trying to get the extra points? thank you!

If you're sure you're right, it can't hurt to go to the teacher. You are always your biggest advocate.

how do i know if have got a wifi conection at my house so i can get facebook on my ipod touch

If you're on the internet (which you are if you posted this question), and your computer isn't plugged in to an ethernet cable, then you have wifi.

If you're plugged in to an ethernet cable, you can search on your computer for wifi networks and see if there are any open. In case you're wondering about that, wifi is the same as wireless internet network.

Last night I was eating a bagel, and it feels like there's part of it stuck in my throat! I can eat and drink still but its like its stuck there, please help it freakin me out!

Yeah there are certain things that can be stuck in the top of your throat, it sucks, but if you don't focus on it, it will go down and your stomach acids will destroy it. If you focus on it, your throat muscles keep pushing it back up. Just relax, and it will go away.

My husband and I are ready to have a baby.I started my cycle on nov. 4th. We had unprotected sex the day after my period stopped,and a few other times since then. I have done alot of research with ovulation calendars and they said that this is my best week to get pregnant. ( Im most fertile) My cycle is every 30 days.. The ovulation calendar said that I should be ovulating today, november 20. We had unprotected sex on the 9th,13th17th and 19th of this month.. What are my chances of being pregnant?

Depending on how old you are, you have a good chance of getting pregnant, about 80% on average. Good luck!

any advice on i pod touch or i tunes
thanks

iTunes is the only program that will put music on iPods, including the iPod Touch. It works with the iPod Touch just like it would with any other iPod, except that it can also sync apps as well as music, movies, etc.

How do you save a power point so that it will open on an IMAC!!!!!!

It depends if the mac has microsoft office on it, if it doesn't, you can save it as a powerpoint presentation instead of a powerpoint file, this will be a stand-alone presentation which can play by itself without having the program powerpoint on the computer.

However, there is microsoft office for mac, so there's a good chance that the computer will have that.

OK so I have to ask. My girlfriend has been crazy for me to cum inside her but I am afraid of making her pregnant. She is on birth control and everything but still I feel like she is trying to trap me with a baby. Why? Because this is what she told me: She said that having cum inside her is a feeling of completeness and is 1000x better than orgasms.

Have any of you ever heard this? Is this for real? Do you really feel like that?

Thank you!

If she is on birth control and she takes it regularly, there isn't much of a risk of pregnancy if you cum inside her, and yes, it does feel better for the girl. However, you shouldn't do it if you don't feel comfortable with it.

19-f
when you have sex, especially in the missionary position do you have you bascially spread your legs?? like have your feet flat on the bed... kind of like your having a baby in a way?? haha. i mean usually you always have to have your legs spread though right?

You spread your legs and put your feet flat on the bed. Or you can wrap your legs around the back of his legs, or his back.

We were fooling around and he got some on his hand then he fingered me. He told me not to worry because of well lemme just ask: Does sperm die when it hits oxygen? For real? Like you know this for a fact and would bet your life on it?

Thank you!

I would definitely not bet my life on it, I don't even know where you got that idea from. Sperm can live for a few minutes in any environment, the best thing to do is to make sure to wash your hands after you touch some sperm before touching a vagina.

You could be pregnant, you should probably take a test.

When I was a kid my parents always wanted me home RIGHT after school, I wasnt allowed to join sports teams because my parents(mom was too over protective. In highschool I went to a school almost an hour away because my sis went there and becasue all the students from my elementary school took over the options I had for schools in my neighborhood and I didnt want to go to school with them because I was a "loser" in elementary school and I wanted to start fresh. highschool was great! I made great friends I experimented I went out...Sometimes....and I found my soul mate! Now i do not go out with my highschool friends becasue they are too far, they were still experimenting when i left school and I was over that, and I was so fresh with my bf I wanted all the time w/him. Now our friendship is holding on by a thread, we havnt had a conversation in almost 3yrs and I don't know if i want to continue to expand a friendship with them. i am scared that they have changed and I have changed, we wont have anything in common, they are still single and enjoying their 20's and I hvan't even begun to enjoy mine. My bf wants me to get out and enjoy but I don't know how. Now i am in schoool and i have made new friends, most of them are underage and we cant go out but they are all in relationships and we have alot in common. they live far from me and its hard to plan to go out. I am afraid that I will be left with no friends EVER because my mom never let me live as a child, the only time I expressed myself was when I was an hour away from home. I blame my mom because I feel I never learned how to keep friends. I am great at making friends, i am outgoing ant caring but i have a real hard time keeping them, going out, planning to go out, HAVING A GOOD TIME! I don't want to loose my 20's and than regret it. PLS I want some HELP! I am debating on dropping out of school because I don't feel happy doing what i do, i enjoy going to class because i am with friends and that is the only place where I know we can meet up and have a good time! I love my bf so much and I don't want to blame him in the future, that is his fear. My fear is that I will be left alone my whole life and blame my mom who is alone, doesnt go out and says its becasue of me, she also tells me that my father never loved or cared about me. I want to enjoy life. i feel like the only reason I am still in school is because of my friends but I want to be able to go to school because of my career. i want to know if i actually enjoy the feild or if the stress from my friendships are impairing my judgement of weather or not I want to do what I am studying...My main goal here is to go out and build LONG & LASTING friendships. With my friends now or my frineds befor. i don't care, I just want to learn how to build that relationship. My friends now I don't knwo much about them, but they don't seem wild. My friends befor go out to clubs, drink (i don't drink too much) and hey already have a set group they have always hung out with since highschool. I don't want to get in the way of that. but I want that too, i want to have a friend or friends that when i am in my thirties and have kids they will be there. My bf has friends from his neighborhood who he can always count on and i envy him for that. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me what i should do or plan to build on my friendships. PLEASE!!!!!

I'm not sure if this is the type of answer you're looking for but I will try my best:

Making and keeping friendships does take an active effort; it's very easy to lose touch with people. Start by making a transition to casual hanging out outside of class, maybe going to eat food or seeing a movie, and then go to shopping or a concert or more "serious" friend activities. There is much more to do with people than drinking, but the important thing is to DO things. Once you keep spending time with these people outside of class, the closeness will grow until you can start doing things like sleep overs and manicures and typical close friend things.

Keeping in touch with people far away is getting easier and easier thanks to modern technologies. IMing and facebook can be enhanced with video chatting and skype, and so the only thing to retaining a friendship is the effort and the desire.

If that's not what you were asking, feel free to ask me a follow-up question so that I can help you better.

So I was masturbating and I noticed there were little white bumps all over my penis. Is this abnormal and what the hell is it, im 14 and 6.5 inches does that have anything to do with it???

From your description, this could be one of either three things:

1) sebaceous prominence
2) pearly penile papules
3) genital warts

the first 2 are normal and not STD's, the third is an STD. Go to a clinic and have them determine which it is.

And no, trying to brag about your penis size has nothing to do with it.

My friend told me she went out and did "hookah" the other night with her boyfriend. I never heard of it before but I didn't tell her that. What is hookah and what does it do to you?

Hookah is actually not the substance, it's the name of the pipe that's used to smoke narghila, but people frequently confuse them. Narghila is basically flavoured tobacco, it doesn't "do" anything to you because it's not a mind altering drug. When you "do hookah", you breathe in and then breathe out the steam that comes out from heating the water to release the flavour of the narghila. It's similar to a bong, but it is rarely used for marijuana, because the process with the charcoal would burn the marijuana too fast, so it doesn't make sense to use marijuana.

Narghila is actually legal in America.

ive been on the same birth control pill for over a year now
my periods usually been somewhat consistent, i get it on the 2nd or 3rd day of the last week of taking the pills (monday or tuesday)
todays wednesday and i still havent gotten it

my body has been acting up though...major weight gain and just feeling randomly upset

my boyfriend and i were safe everytime

is it possible to just skip a period on the pill without being pregnant?

Clarithromycin interferes with the effects of the pill, you should use backup contraception when you're taking both. There's a chance you are pregnant, you should probably take a pregnancy test to double check.
