Q: This may be a long story and I'm sorry but there really isn't a way to cut this short. I had previously posted a question about a condom breaking during sex with my boyfriend. This incident was December 1st, the condom broke the second time we had sex and it broke before he finished so when it did break, the only possible semen that was in the condom was excess from the first time. I am on birth control but at the time of the condom breaking, I was only on my third official day of ever being on it so I was not protected from that when this happened. However, like I said he didn't finish and he pulled out as soon as he heard it and that was only when he was about half way in. He also went to get Plan B for me to take because I was a bit apprehensive. So, December 1st was when this happened and my period is expected to begin Christmas Eve so I was to ovulate December 7th. Like I said in my previous question that if anything was to get in me and stay in there, if my expected ovulation was correct then I should be safe about pregnancy.

However, I am just a naturally nervous person. It's getting closer to when I should be getting my period and I'm questioning if I'm pregnant or not. I'm nineteen days in on my birth control so I'm pretty protected with that so I'm not really worried about anything that happens now. But, one thing I noticed was that I've been getting a frequent irritation that makes me think I have to pee but when I sit, I don't have to pee and I read somewhere that a lot of other girls experience this after they have sex and I've noticed that when I experience it, it's the entire day after I have sex as well. So, I'm freaking out that this frequent feeling of having to pee is evident of pregnancy or something weird happening after intercourse. I also had some spotting today and my period is supposed to be in six days so I'm also freaking out that this spotting was implantation bleeding that I read about but it could also be a side effect to my birth control "premature bleeding." I'm also factoring in that taking the Plan B may also make my period come late so that is also something to think about.

My boyfriend keeps telling me to not worry. He said that even if there was any in the condom when it broke, it wasn't enough to crawl all the way up and get me pregnant. I guess I'm just looking for advice, anything would help; thanks!
If everything you've said is 100% true then it's very unlikely that you're pregnant and I think you might be overthinking everything. With that said, wait a few days and see if you get your period as expected. If you don't then you should see a doctor or go to a Woman's Health Clinic for a pregnancy test. Over the counter pregnancy tests aren't always accurate.

The weird feeling of having to urinate is a big sign of a Urinary Tract Infection so you should also see a doctor if this feeling continues.

You should also not count on your birth control protecting you. Although it lessens the chances of you becoming pregnant it's still possible. You should buy thicker condoms in the future, it sounds like the ones you were using might have been cheap.

Thank you!
