One of our readers recently submitted the question below:
I’m 19 and I had protected sex with my boyfriend for the first time on April 23. My period came about the 5 of April usually last about 4 days. My periods are very irregular – I cannot predict my next one since my cycle is typically 30 -35. I believe I was ovulating all the week from 19th until the 23rd (most fertile). My question is we used a condom (it did not break), and he pull out with the condom on before he ejaculated. To be on the safe side after an hour and half I went to get plan B. Does plan B work during ovulation? What are the chances I can get pregnant? This month has been a stressful month, I been loosing weight, and exercising and now I’m stressing about being pregnant can this also delay my period?

I would say the chances of you being pregnant are minimal. If he pulled out before he ejaculated plus he was wearing a condom, while some sperm may still have come out while you were having sex, most likely the condom “caught” it all. Keep in mind that your period can be easily affected by the stress of worrying about whether you are pregnant or not, and losing weight & plenty of exercise (though that can be good, if you need it) is going to affect the regularity of your period also.
Plan B is like a super high dose of the normal birth control pill. It diminishes the probability of becoming pregnant when there is a chance that sperm may fertilize an egg, but it should never be taken in the place of regular birth control pills.
Im 21 years old. I have been on birth control for years now, but this last month had to stop for insurance difficulties. I had my period the on the 19th of december, and had unprotected sex January 1st 2011. I am supposed to start again in a week. anyways, he pulled out (I know, not a good method) and I took plan b within 12 hours. Im pretty sure the time we had sex was during my ovulation and when I was most fertile. I have a doc app tomarrow, but I know its too soon to tell if im pregnate considering it’s only been a week. Can anyone give me there opinion. Please help!

Hanna,
I had unprotected sex on Tuesday August 16th at 6:00pm. I bought the Next Choice the following day and took the first pill at 5:12pm. I took the Second pill at 5:12am today. I think i was ovulating that day when i had unprotected sex and Im worried that I will get pregnant…is that a risk?
i had sex without a condom while i was on the 4th day of my period at about 1130am thursday. then i took the morning after pill around 1pm friday. i then bled 3 days after almost like a regular period for 4.5 days. im nervous because im still alil nausous and i also took the plan b method month before this as well. could this be normal and i hope to god there is no way i could be pregnant after having sex on period and using plan b the following day. what could cause this and the tenderness i had 3days after taking. im still alittle nausous but i had period then again so i dont think it could be a pregnancy. please help
