Question Posted Thursday February 22 2007, 9:52 pm
Okay so me & my boyfriend had sex last weekend (2-17-07 to be exact) and right in the middle of it the condom popped. As soon as it popped he threw it away and got a new one and it also popped before he came. But lately my stomach kind've hurts sometimes like im hungry and sometimes i get like tightness feeling pains and my vagina itches sometimes. Is there any chance at all i'm pregnant? I really do NOTTTTTTTTT want to be. Is there anything i can do without my parents knowing to reduce the chance of being pregnant? Ahhh. Please please please please please! help. <333
For future's notice, the morning after pill is effective if taken within three days of the unprotected sex. Also, the main reason for repeated condom popping is not using them properly. You know the little tip on the end? When your boyfriend puts the condom on, he needs to squeeze the tip - this will look sort of flattened when it's on. It should NOT be sticking out and filled with air.
Semen comes out incredibly fast, and if the recepticle is full of air the condom will usually pop.
Tight pains in your stomach could be due to stress or anxiety. It could also be normal PMS pains. Vaginal itching could suggest a reaction to the condoms, or a hypersensitivity to every little twitch because you're worried you are pregnant.
Even if you were pregnant, the hormones might not be strong enough to show up on a pregnancy test yet. You can buy tests in any pharmacy - make sure you read the intructions carefully to see how and when to use it. Of course, if your period is regular you can also wait to see if you get it when it's expected - remembering that stress can throw your cycle off whack.

The itching could be a UTI (Urinary Tract Infection), which is not uncommon to get from sex. I'd suggest scheduling an appointment with your doctor/gynecologist just to be sure & get treatment if it turns out to be one. There's always a chance you can be pregnant - whether he ejaculates or not. I cannot tell you if you're pregnant or not. The best solution would have been to visit Planned Parenthood to get the morning after pill (effective 72 hrs after sex.) But since it's too late for that, you have no other options at this time other than to wait for your period & take a pregnancy test. If you continue to be sexually active, I suggest using a condom AND getting on the birth control pill (schedule an appointment with your local Planned Parenthood, plannedparenthood.org). That way, if this situation ever happens again, atleast you'll have a backup form of protection. [ LadyH's advice column | Ask LadyH A Question ]
