Ok, so me and my boyfriend had sex, and there was a hole in the condom. He said nothing came out so could I still be pregnant?

Yes. Sperm are very, very tiny and can seep through tiny tears in condoms. Condoms are actually only about 88% effective with typical usage as it is.

Even if your boyfriend did not cum in the condom, he probably DID pre-cum in it. Pre-ejaculatory fluid contains some sperm. As a reminder, it only takes ONE sperm to fertilize ONE egg.

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.

If your next period misses then good chances are that you are pregnant. You can take a home pregnancy test then (after the missed period) or go to a clinic for a pregnancy test (more accurate).

Purchase a few home pregnancy tests and test yourself occassionally if your period does not come next month. 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.

Please reconsider your actions. You list your age as being 13--can you really deal with the consequences of sex? I mean, think about this:

Babies don't care if you're a teenager. Babies don't care if you still want to go on dates and have a good time. Babies don't care if you have to stay home, drop out of school, and work 3 part-time jobs to make enough money to buy them diapers. Babies will come when you make these sorts of decisions with your life. If babies don't come then you might end up finding out you became infertile because of a STD that kept itself covered for years.

Condoms don't protect you against STDs and infections and neither does the birth control pill. Even virgins can have STDs, believe it or not. You wouldn't believe the percentage of BABIES who have herpes because their parents passed it to them. Those babies will grow up believing that the sores they have are normal and won't tell their partners because of this, most likely.

How could you forgive a partner for transmitting an STD to you? How could you get over getting pregnant and giving birth to a mentally ill child? What happens if the relationship gets rocky and a pregnancy occurs--what happens then? There are too many factors that will add a load of pressure on you relationship, and could break it down in a matter of days.

I know it's your body, your choice, but I am so concerned for you. I don't want you to end up like some of the people I've seen--used, abused, left, having sex with various partners, can't have babies because of an STD made them infertile, etc. Sex is really not something you need to be worrying about.

I hope your life turns around and you realize that sex is not the answer to your youth. If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask me! :)

It's possible.

Even when you use a condom, it's technically possible to get pregnant when you have sex.

Sex = possibly pregnancy. Always.

Condoms greatly reduce the risk. They do not eliminate it.

Having said that, your boyfriend wasn't exactly clear about what happened. If he ejaculated inside the broken condom, it's certainly possible and you should take a pregnancy test IF your period is late.

If he didn't ejaculate, it is rather unlikely that you are pregnant, although still feasible.

It is very possible that you may be pregnant.

He says that "nothing came out".

Does he mean that nothing came out of the hole in the condom, or that nothing came out when he orgasmed? Most males by the time they have sex, ejaculate sperm and semen. If he did have an orgasm, then he most likely did both.

If he didn't orgasm and that is why he said that he never came out, you could still possibly be pregnant. Before an ejaculation, most men release semen prior to ejaculation, this is also known as "pre-cum". Even though he may not be ejaculating, there can still be presence of sperm in the Semen. You should buy a pregnancy test, which I don't beleive you need parental permission for if you are underage.

If you still have any questions, there is loads of information online that can help you with such a question.
