I can't tell if I should be worried

Unread post by blondy01 »

my boyfriend and i had sex yesterday afternoon. he used a condom. put it on correctly before he went inside me, kept it on the whole time, it didn't break, and he pulled out way before he came. however, he freaked out because there was precum in the shaft area of the condom that he wasn't sure if that normally happened. he got scared that it leaked out the bottom of the condom and got inside me. because when he took the condom off and touched the shaft of his penis, it had precum on it. so he freaked me out too because obviously you can't really know what happened.
he suggested I take plan b, and I agreed. he bought it and I took it 45 min-1 hour after this event occurred. so we should be fine right? maybe. because I think I may have ovulated which then plan b doesn't really work, if it even needed to work. I don't know if I ovulated for sure but I know there is a chance I did.
so my question is. should I worry about this getting me pregnant? I know there is literally nothing else I can do but wait but I'm just worried

Hey, Blondy.

Do I have it right that you're the same person I spoke with yesterday in text to answer all of these same questions? If so, it's not really a sound use of our time or yours for me to answer them all again, because the answers will be the same. And like I told you after I answered these yesterday (assuming this isn't a really amazing coincidence), yep: there's nothing else to do here but wait it out and make choices moving forward you feel better and safer with. Sorry that's the case, but that's just how it goes with scares like this!

right, I'm sorry. all I wanted to know was if this was considered a risk and if this could possibly turn into a pregnancy.

Right, but we'd already covered that in our conversation. As well, like I mentioned there, engaging in that way with pregnancy scares is outside our policies. Happy to help you with other things if you like, but here's the skinny on that:


We will not answer ANY questions about pregnancy fear or anxiety in our direct services from users who are not pregnant or who are not or have not otherwise been directly involved with an actual pregnancy.

Please do not post this kind of question. If you are seeing this text, and your thread is locked, it is because you have posted this kind of question.

We CAN and WILL talk about things like:
• choosing and using a method or methods of contraception for any future sexual activity
• creating your own sexual limits and boundaries based on your needs and/or presenting them to any partners
• making sexual choices that suit your own needs, abilities and limitations, including your own readiness for certain possible risks
• help locating or using emergency contraception if and when you have had a pregnancy risk
• discussing options with a real, existing pregnancy, and help finding and accessing those options, such as abortion services and pre-natal care, or discussing feelings or concerns about a past pregnancy
• help with anxiety like locating mental health services, sound self-help or asking for support from friends or family

For help dealing with a scare (including what poses a risk and your next steps based on your unique situation), you may use our tool on site built for this purpose: The Pregnancy Panic Companion.
