You can get pregnant at ANY time, unless you're infertile, you've had your tubes tied, or he's had a vasectomy, all of which I doubt. It's quite possible that the condom could break & you could end up pregnant. Your best bet is to remain abstinent until you can handle the possibility of getting pregnant. Can you handle a baby right now? The only person you can rely on if you end up pregnant is yourself. Don't be certain that if you end up pregnant, he'll stick around because he promised to or your parents will help you out. If you don't have the emotional and financial capabilities to raise a child on your own, I'd hold off on sex for now. Could you handle the physical and emotional pain of an abortion? Again, another reason to hold off on sex.
If you absolutely insist on having sex, your best bet is to be on birth control (patch, pill, shot..), have him use a condom, have him pull out before he ejaculates (just in case the condom breaks, better safe than sorry), & do it a few days after your period. If the condom does break, look into the Morning After pill, although that wreaks havoc on your insides so don't use it every time you have sex. The Pill works 72 hours after intercourse.

Condoms don't work 15% of the time because of 'user error.'
reach28 answered Friday January 27 2006, 11:16 pm: No, 2 weeks before is definitly not the best time. That puts about in the middle of your cycle, which is when your most likely to get pregnant. The "safest" time would be the couple of days right after your period, where theres a pretty low chance. In any case, ur right to always use a condom. If your comfortable (If being a big word here), your best bet is for your first time is right after your period, with a condom, and with open communication.

Sex is risky business. If the condom breaks, you might get pregnant. That's the fact.
That is why a girl should never have sex unless she is mature enough to face the consequences of what could happen. Of course most will risk it anyway.
You can get pregnant anytime. There is no real safe time of the month. There are times when you are more likely to get pregnant than others, but never is there a safe time. Couples who are having trouble having a baby will try on the days when you are more apt to get pregnant. If you have no fertility problems though you can get pregnant any time of the month.
Do not douche afterward. It won't do any good.
The best thing to do (even though you may not want to) is to wait until you are more ready for sex. If you are worried, and really, you should be, you are not really ready yet.
Sex is a really big step to take into adulthood. It comes with very real risks. Be sure you are ready first, not just looking to make the boyfriend happy.
Here is a web site you may find of interest. It may help you decide if you are really ready yet. :)
