Peeps answered Saturday August 30 2008, 2:36 am: It sounds like you've put yourself in a pretty tight predicament; however, there is something you need to know about ovulation and "fertile days" that you're talking about.
You are equally fertile every day of your cycle, including the days you are on your period. The only time you are more fertile than usual is when you are ovulating (when the egg has been released from the ovary and begins traveling down the fallopian tubes). So, this means you can get pregnant during ANY day of your regular cycle equally and you have more chance of becoming pregnant during ovulation.
Meaning you should NEVER engage in sexual activity without "protection" again pregnancy. You will end up pregnant very quickly even if you only have sex on the days you believe you aren't ovulating.
After you have sex you actually do not instantly become pregnant--it can take days before the sperm find and fertilize the egg and then another 6 - 10 days for the egg to actually attach to your uterine wall. Sperm can live in your body for a long time--they've even been some found alive in a woman 2 weeks after being ejaculated inside of her!
This being said, it could take weeks to actually become pregnant after one sexual encounter. The sperm can survive in you a long while, meaning ovulation or not, it's likely they will encounter the peak fertility zone. The think you need to keep in mind is that you are ALWAYS fertile.
It only takes ONE sperm to fertilize ONE egg. Your partner likely precummed in you, whether you or him realize it or not. Your partner cannot control that and men usually do not feel when it happens. Pre-cum does contains sperm and WILL get your pregnant. Your partner can release pre-cum in your body the second he enters your vagina with his penis--he doesn't know, neither do you.
Purchase another few home pregnancy tests and test yourself occassionally if your period does not come. Some home pregnancy tests are better than others. According to a couple of studies done, First Response and Early Result Pregnancy Test are the two best kinds to purchase because they are slightly more sensitive than the others. You may want to pick up a couple of those for home usage.
For note, I too use mymontlycycles.com to track my cycles. The thing you need to remember is that your period may be off by a day from stressors or such, throwing the PREDICTED ovulation date off. What's even worse is this: stress, weight fluctuation, hormonal imbalances, diet changes, etc. can ALL throw off the ovulation date. MyMonthlyCycles cannot account for such factors.
Pick up some condoms. They are 88% effective on preventing pregnancy with typical usage; although, they do NOT protect against STDs and STIs.
Pick up hormonal birth control pills. They are 92% effective on preventing pregnancy with typical usage; however, they do NOT protected against STDs and STIs.
Don't put yourself in this situation again. Ever. Learn your lesson now before it's too late and you end up with a newborn baby, dropping out of high school, and struggling to make enough money for a pack of diapers.
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask me! :)

Comrade answered Friday August 29 2008, 4:00 am: Our opinions of a "high" or a "low" chance aren't even remotely relevant at this point. Get tested. Get tested twice. Knowing a concrete answer will do you a lot more good than knowing our opinions on your chances, and it'll do you a hell of a lot better than some website.
If I were you, I'd get my hands on the morning after pill, take it, and then I'd think long and hard before having sex again. You're clearly not ready. [ Comrade's advice column | Ask Comrade A Question ]
rae141307 answered Friday August 29 2008, 1:54 am: uummmm....yea well at least you know you made a mistake and there is a chance that you MIGHT be pregnant bc you had sex and it was without a condom even tho he pulled out.ya see before he's done there is per-come and that could make you a mother.my advice is learn from this and take more tests. you can't change what happened you can only perparefor the worst and except it.but there is a chance that you're not pregnant so don't give up hope.
Good luck and next time wait until you're ready to except the results (good or bad) you're 16 and having a kid in high school wasn't on your to do list.trust me i know bc im the same age and know girls that have kids when they are 17 16 and even 15.

WittyUsernameHere answered Friday August 29 2008, 1:24 am: Go get a morning after pill. Pretend to be older, get him to buy it, get an 18 year old friend to buy it.
Every minute, every hour you spend before getting it decreases its effectiveness,but if taken within 72 hours it still has a good shot at being effective.
Also, stop having sex. You are not responsible enough to have it safely, which also implies a lack of maturity.
ductape_n_roses answered Friday August 29 2008, 12:45 am: As YG said below, even if he "pulled out" before he "jizzed" you can still be pregnant.
Whenever you have sex with someone with no form of contraceptives, you risk the chance of becoming pregnant. Heck, even with a condom, there is a 15% chance you will become pregnant. And what if the condom breaks?
Bottom line: there is always a high risk chance of being pregnant if you do not use any contraceptives and have sex (unless you are infertile or he's shooting blanks).
There is an early morning pill called Plan B and some stores sell it without prescription. However, you have to be 18 years old to get it. So you better find an 18 year old friend or get your parents to buy it for you unless you want to risk having a baby pop out of your vagina in 9 months. Other early morning pills need prescriptions. Other than the EM pill, there's not much you can do to prevent pregnancy. [ ductape_n_roses's advice column | Ask ductape_n_roses A Question ]
karenR answered Thursday August 28 2008, 11:27 pm: Uh, you need to get the morning after pill
and stop relying on a stupid internet chart.
Playing that game is a sure fire way of getting
pregnant.
Those charts are made to help women GET
pregnant. It shows the days you are most
LIKELY to get pregnant. You can get pregnant
any old time, the chart just helps with really
fertile days. Trying to use them to prevent
pregnancy is not smart at all.
You can rate me a 1 for lecturing if you
like. I think its important for not only you
but for others who will think this is a really
cool thing to steer clear of it. It is not
safe to rely on charts.
Condoms and/or birth control or the simple word
NO, are what you use to prevent an unwanted pregnancy. Nothing else works.
