A male United Kingdom age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I'm writing this because I'm worried, my girlfriend is on the pill, so we have unprotected sex. The thing is she came off the pill a week ago due to a course of medication she was taking, we had sex and stupidly we didnt use protection and i came inside her. The worst thing is and again its stupid is that this is the 3rd time now we did it the last time was last night. She is due on her period next thursday and she is already a little grumpy and bloated which is normal for her around 10 days before, could there be a chance that she could fall pregnant this close to her period?? Also would she miss this up coming period if she was caught pregnant? I know this sounds lame but i dont want to worry her by asking her these questions and putting worries into her head,thanks

OMG! No... Birth Control doesn't build a tolerance depending on how long it has been in her system. Soon as she is off, she is able to conceive.

I am telling you- the longer you wait, the less chance you have in preventing it.

I know she is going through a lot, but this is just as serious- don't delay. If she is your gf and you are comfortable with eachother, you should be able to confront her about it. Just pull her aside and tell her you don't want to worry her but you would feel more comfortable with her taking the necessary precautions of prevention. Tell her just as you mentioned before, you do hope ot have a child with her- but want to plan on it!

I doubt she would be in the slightest bothered. CONFRONT HER ALREADY, Time is wasting.

thanks for all your words and advice, I've thought about this over night and feel that now is the right time to ask her and act about this before Thursday comes, we are both stupid in not wearing the condom I know this much but she has been on the pill for years now, so we thought it wouldn't effect the situation much, with it being in her system. Were both at the age 28 were we arnt silly teenagers, I just don't want to have an unplanned pregnancy for us both as were very busy with work etc, and I feel personally that it should be planned together as a couple. So again thankyou for your honest and kind words!!

It is a possiblilty, but how long was she on the pill for? BC can build up in your system and it could take time for her to conceive, but I would go get plan b just to be safe.

In response to the last post... DONT WAIT TIL HER PERIOD. Emergency contraception pill reccomends THREE DAYS after intercourse to be taken AT THE LATEST. If you wait til her period to find out, be it she ends up pregnant, what option do you have? You will then be in a position to talk about much big decisions such as abortion, adoption, whatever!

And if your not ready for that in your relationship to raise a kid or otherwise...

Plan B. Act now.

EbonyBlossom agony auntI'm afraid there is every possibility she could be pregnant, as you can conceive at any point in your cycle. If she is pregnant then she will miss her next period so you'll soon know. Don't worry her yet as a. stress can also delay your period and b. if it's only been this week then it won't show up on the pregnancy test yet. Wait until her period is due and then say something if its late. Also go and buy a pack of condoms immediately. Then if you decide to do it again or she should go back on the medication then you'll be prepared.

However, it says you're between 26 and 29. How old is your girlfriend? Because it's better something like this happens to people of a responsible age than to a teenager. Should she be pregnant, be grateful it didn't happen until now =]

Starmonster888 agony auntYou're very considerate, I like the fact that you don't want to worry her, but yeah you should be worried man.

Sex with no contraception, it kind of speaks for itself.

Hey don't be depressed though, when life gives you lemons and you don't want lemonade, make it any way because you never know when you're going to get thirsty. This could be a little blessing in disguise.

First of all how hard is it to put a condom on for one night then dealing with a child unplanned for 18 years? Not that hard. You obviously aren't ready for kids unless there's sumething deep inside that does want a child and that is why you aren't wiling to wrap it up. It's very possible for her to concieve and many woman mistake period symptopms like bloating or nipple soarness but can be indeed be pregnant. Have a talk with her about how you want to deal from now having sex be more cautious and don't panic. Goodluck.

alyssadiane21 agony auntNo she wouldnt know r feel it. N honestly most girls do still have thier period when they are pregnant i was one of them the best way to find out is take a digital pregnancy test. lol i took seven of them before i actually believed it but they are awesome and very accurate i think they r 99.9% accurate r something like that but try that. Theres no use dwelling on it find out for shure so you can prepare if so.
