Birth Control and Conceiving- am I pregnant?
My boyfriend and I had sex last night. He finished inside me but also kept it within there for a few minutes after. I'm a little over 2 and a half weeks into my cycle. I'm on the pill but started it up again later month and was spotting and bleeding abmormally till I started this month's pack. I'm very bad more or less taking my pill, usually doubling or tripling up my days with pills I've missed. I read just now when ovulation occur, its normal to have sticky white discharge, which I saw today while in the bathroom. What are the likelihood I could get pregnant this time around? I know the pill is only 80% effective when taken correctly, so my likelihood are prett'y high with not taking my pill as directed, right?
Answers: the pill is 99% effective when taken correctly. Not sure who told you 80%
If you ovulated (which the pill usually prevents from taking place even if you miss one and catch up the next day) and if you had sex at the fail-safe time of ovulation the highest your odds of getting pregnant can be is 20-25%. (and that's for couples with unblemished timing who aren't on the pill).
So your odds are actually still quite low.
That man said, if you think there is any chance you may be pregnant stop taking the pill right very soon. It could harm your baby if you continue it after getting pregnant.
Good luck.
even when you thieve the pill correctly it's not 100% effective and the fact that you have be missing your pill so many times severely lowered it's effectiveness.
You really should be using a backup birth control method.
and yes, you could be pregnant but you would not be getting signs already.
