Ask Alison.

Is my girlfriend pregnant?
I just had sex with my girlfriend yesterday and i didnt use protection. we both just lost our virginity to each other, we had sex 3 times, everytime we did it i took my penis out before i cummed and i stroked it til i did but on a napkin then threw it away then we were done, not getting any on her.

but i dont know about pre-cum, i didnt feel anything and i kept putting my penis in and out of her removing the penis completely and putting it in again, the first time we did it, I didnt cum at all but i felt like it very badly but i still didnt cum so i gave up. and i noticed during that time that i couldnt get aroused or
my penis just wouldn?t get hard.

she got off her period about 3 or 4 days ago but the thing is she had a period before that so she had it twice, then we did it 3 days later after she had both periods.

telling from what i have told you, can u tell me if my girl friend could get pregnant and if so, what are the chances, im really scared and i dont want a baby right now. please help me?

Please help me Alison. I'm really scared. I just did it with her yesterday. Can u please help me?...my name's ______. I've been looking for many hours for someone who can answer my question but its very hard to ask people and I feel like you're the only one that can help me personally.

Telling from what you have just read in my question, can you tell me what the chances are and what I or she should do?

Please, I've been paranoid all day. I really love this girl and I don't want anything bad to happen to her. Please help me Alison?

Sincerely,
___________

Okay. There is something called the 'morning after pill.' It's also known as emergency contraception. Depending on where you live, your girlfriend may be able to buy this over the counter in a pharmacy, get some from a local health clinic, or get a prescription from her doctor. This is essentially a really high dose of hormones that can lessen the chances of pregnancy.

It is most effective when taken within 24 hours of having sex, though it can still reduce the risk of pregnancy up to three days later.

It is important that your girlfriend try to access this as quickly as possible, particularly as it sounds that she might have been at the most fertile point in her cycle. However, her periods sound to be irregular, which can make it harder to become pregnant.

Pre-cum is probably something that you would not feel. The next time you get erect, take a look at your penis. It will probably be leaking a small amount of fluid - this can happen right from the point you get an erection, or it may take a few minutes. This fluid has thousands of sperm in it and can make someone pregnant.

I can understand why you would be freaking out, but there is a good chance she is not pregnant. After all, many couples try for ages and ages to get pregnant - it can take awhile.

The most important thing you can do is be there to support your girlfriend. This will mean comforting her while she waits for her period, holding her hand while she takes a pregnancy test, etc. Her period may be off kilter, and stress will also make her late.

If she is pregnant, that opens up a whole new host of problems. If she is not, then you need to remember this panic-ridden feeling you have right now whenever you want to have unprotected sex.

Make sure you go and buy condoms. Let your girlfriend know that if she is not pregnant she'll need to make an appointment to see a gyno and get birth control. One reason you may not have been able to get erect could have been anxiety - if you were worried about her getting pregnant on some level, that might have stopped you from feeling totally relaxed. Birth control will protect you both and make things less stressful.

As for what you can do right now, pass this info onto your girlfriend. Take some time to take care of YOU as well, as this is very stressful. Breathe, watch a movie, play sports, write - whatever it is that helps to relax you.

Best of luck.
