how you get pregnant You may have learned about ovulation and menstruation in health class. A woman gets her period usually once every 21-40 days. In between her periods the woman ovulates (she releases an egg). If the egg makes a love-connection with any sperm, it gets fertilized and chances are that you're pregnant. However, if the egg doesn't hook up with any sperm, the egg leaves the woman's body and she gets her period like usual-no pregnancy. Sperm leave a guy's body in his cum and pre-cum. During sex the guy has to release the sperm inside the woman's vagina in order to fertilize an egg. What this all means is that women are most likely to get pregnant around the time they ovulate (release an egg). Ovulation usually happens from a week after your period until a week before your period. But don't count on it! Your period might not be that regular. And ovulation can really happen at any time, even during your period. So it's never "safe" to have sex without using birth control, like a condom for instance. But what if...
We had sex (but not intercourse) with our clothes on, could I be pregnant?
He came outside my vagina, could I be pregnant?
We had sex during my period, could I be pregnant?
We had sex without using birth control, what do I do now? signs of pregnancy
Signs of pregnancy are different for each woman. You may have none of these signs or all of them. Also, many women get these symptoms when they're about to get their period. Trust your instincts. If you think you're pregnant, get tested. pregnancy testing If you've missed your period and you think you may be pregnant you should get tested as soon as possible. You can buy tests in drugstores or go to a clinic or doctor. Watch out for bogus clinics like Crisis Pregnancy Centers, which offer free pregnancy tests, but are not real clinics. They hope to scare you out of choosing abortion if you don't want to be pregnant. Remember that it's your body and your choice to make! (See Abortion for more on bogus clinics.) Pregnancy tests from drugstores are often wrong, and the tests are expensive. Some tests make it difficult to tell the "yes" from the "no." We suggest you go to a clinic for a simple urine or blood test for pregnancy. Free tests are done at most public health clinics (see Resources). Don't wait! The sooner you know, the more choices you have: either to get an abortion in the first 3 months (the safest kind), or to get early health care if you decide to carry through with the pregnancy. |
