After use of condom

Unread post by KristyG5 »

My boyfriend and I also had sex the week before and after he took the condom off, we wiped the penis off using a tissue. We then has sex again only for a few seconds. I am on birth control but was just ending my period. Is it still possible to get pregnant from that?

Anytime someone has the kind of sex -- and if by sex, you mean penis-in-vagina intercourse, then that's the primary kind we're talking about -- there is a risk of pregnancy. method of contraception reduce that risk, but not to zero, as no method or methods together are 100% effective.

So, in your case, what you will have had per protection when not using condoms is the amount of protection your pill provides alone.

Hi Kristy,

When you're asking questions, can you go with either the message boards or text and not ask in both places? Often that means we spend time answering them twice. Thanks!

Thanks for your help! I will definitely not submit questions to both next time. Sorry about that!
