ovulation
I really want my boyfriend to come in me but I don't want to get pregnant. I read somewhere that the day you start your period is "day 1" of your cycle and that you usually ovulate between days 12-22. So how come they say you can get pregnant on your period? Does anyone know when it'd be safe and I won't get pregnant?
Also I was thinking about going to planned parenthood and getting the birth control shot. Does anyone know about it or how much it would cost there?

Okay well the only way to be careful is to get on birth control. there is no time if you are not using any kind of protection that you can not get pregnant so unless you want a little baby inside you get on birth control and make sure you take it right. i wouldn't take the shot though because that can mess with your hormones and also mess with your period. if you go to planned parenthood i believe you can get on birth control for free. good luck

This question is actually very personal to me. I was the same way with my ex-boyfriend. We were together for years and when we started having sex, I thought it would be "hot" and sexy and he'd like it too. Well, we did that a few times and I ended up pregnant. I was naive and from then on, it was several types of birth control. I don't want to get into details, since it is personal... but please, BE SAFE. Use condoms! (Only one, never have a guy put two on) ANY kind of birth control! Even the morning after pill. You can get pregant at ANY time during the month. Good luck with everything.

Semen can survive inside the body for up to seven days. That is why they say you can get pregnant at pretty much any point.
Also, you USUALLY ovulate between day 12 and 22, but not always, so again, that is why they say you could get pregnant at any point.
Sex is never, NEVER, 100% safe. Sex without a condom is even less safe. You can choose to take that risk if you want, but no one can pull numbers out of the air and tell you just how risky it is. I could say, that on day 28 you'd only be taking a 20% risk... but that would be total Bullshit! I don't know! I can't know! Even your doctor couldn't come up with definite numbers for that! It is simply always risky, end of story. Either you take the risk, or you take serious and sensible steps to drastically reduce the risk.
The shot is generally free at Planned Parenthood, but it's availability and the rules surrounding it vary from state to state. Check their website here for more information:
