with my boyfriend of 6 1/2 months. We had sex on June 13th, and my last
menstruation cycle was on May 30th, making that day exactly 14 days after.
When my boyfriend was younger, he had one testicle surgically removed and so
claims that it is impossible for me to have gotten pregnant since it was our
first time. He believes that having only one testicle will greatly reduce
my chances of being pregnant.
He also pulled out before he ejaculated, but minutes after, we had sex once again. Also, he ejaculated on my lower belly and i did feel it begin to drip down near my vagina.
I'm very confused and scared. What are my chances of being pregnant taking all this into consideration? Do any of these factors make a difference in having increasing or decreasing chances of being pregnant?
It has now been 7 days since we've had sex, how soon can i take a home pregnancy test and how accurate will it be? Should i see my doctor or wait until i know for sure?
I'm very, very confused. Can you please help me in providing all this and any other information/facts that i need/should be aware of as soon as
possible? Thank you.
Well, I'll try to address every point you've brought up. The average woman's cycle is 28 days long, making her most fertile point in that cycle on day 14. You've had unprotected sex on this day - this is no guarantee that this would be when youwere ovulating, but it would be pretty close.
Having only one testicle will not really affect his fertility either way. Thousands of sperm are present in only a few drops of cum, so it's not a matter of him only producing a tiny, limited number.
In addition to this, pulling out is not a safe method. As soon as a penis gets erect, it begins to leak a bit of fluid from the tip. Though this is called 'pre-cum,' it actually has tens of thousands of sperm in it. You can get pregnant from pre-cum. If he did not clean off his penis before you had sex again, you would have any remaining cum/semen, as well as all his new pre-cum.
All of this leads up to a pretty worrying conclusion, but in actuality there's a good chance you may not be pregnant. Many couples try for months before getting pregnant. There's no guarantee for you either way.
You can go to a pharmacy and read the backs of some home pregnancy tests. They vary in regards to when you can take them - some you can take as soon as the first day of your missed period, some after..and a few before. Make sure you carefully read the instructions and follow them exactly.
Be aware that high levels of stress can mess with your period, so your period may be late this month even if you are not pregnant.
If you ARE pregnant, you'll need to speak to a health professional quickly. This will ensure you are eligible for abortion should you want that, and if you choose to continue the pregnancy it will offer medical support for yourself and the baby.
If you aren't pregnant, you'll want to make an appointment with a gyno since you've started having sex. She will be able to evaluate your health, have a discussion with your about the best type of birth control for you, and prescribe you with something.
In the meantime, if you have sex again make sure to use a condom. You may not be pregnant now, so make sure you stay safe.
Please let me know if you need further support or information.
