Okay im not gonna say how old i am but im a teen and ive had unprotected sex with my boyfriend (who is older). he is very careful and yes i know there is still a chance of getting pregnant like that but last time we had sex he pulled out and then we made out and he cummed outside of me and when i was getting off him my vagina touched his penis and im not sure if there was cum on it or not but that happened and we waited about 10 minutes and then we had sex again. I dont think i was ovulating at the time. But now about a week later my vagina itches alot and im not sure if its because of that or because of other things such as me letting my pubes grow more then usual. i might just be paranoid and over worried. im suposed to get my period in about a week and im not to sure exactly when because the calender on my phone was where i kept my period dates and that phone broke.
I think I might be pregnant?

Dear Idontevenknow - Apparently there is a lot you do not know. ANY unprotected sex can lead to pregnancy. Just because he pulled out to ejaculate does not mean some pre-ejaculate wasn't in you. There IS sperm in pre-ejaculate and he has no control over that, and has no way of knowing it is happening. I take it you are young, but old enough to do adult things. To prevent pregnancy, some form of reliable birth control should ALWAYS be used. If you are going to act like an adult, then do the adult thing and protect yourself. Until or unless you get on the pill, or some other form of birth control, INSIST on bf using a condom with spermicide. You are engaging in very serious behavior. Protecting yourself should be top priority!! As far as the itching, it is possible you have a yeast infection. Monistat 7 is sold over the counter, I would suggest you get some and use exactly as directions indicate. The Vagina is the inside part of you, and outside grooming, or lack of, would not cause internal itching, if it is the vagina itching. It is way too early for any OTC pregnancy test. Lets hope you get your period next week. Are you usually regular, or often early or late?? I only ask because if those things are factered in, you may not get your period when you expect it. There are many ways to prevent pregnancy these days, but pulling out is not one of them. Sweetie, I only say these things to help you realize what a serious thing sexual activity is and how important it is to protect yourself. Please write back if you have any questions. There are many people on here to help you, guide you, and lead you in the right direction. PLEASE, give serious thought to birth control.
Having seen the story of a girl who had a baby at 12, sex at 11, never had a period, anything can happen. The girl thought only older girls can get pregnant. She did it to please the guy. No guy 14 can quit school to get a job.
Did you know that a baby today raised to eighteen costs a million dollars to raise? That is not about college or getting a car. Just the basics. The guy splits almost always. They use the same lines on many girls. They want sex, the girls think it keeps a boyfriend. Doesn't work. Rarely is lasting. The girl is ashamed and the guy spreads rumors.
Every time you have sex there is a risk of pregnancy. Every time. Nothing is 100% safe except not doing it at all. In young women, teens, the menstrual cycle can be very irregular. So ovulation can happen anytime. I knew a girl who would have sex during her period to avoid pregnancy. The little boy she had turned out cute. The guy left. She dropped out of college. All her dreams were crushed. All real, all very sad.
As for itching and weird smells, having had sex one should see the doctor. There are nasty things out there. Some without cures. It doesn't make a good conversation when some day you are out in the world, working and the right guy comes into your life. Think about the future and your body's safety.
When I was a student nurse working in ob, we had a 12 yr old brought in in labor. She had no clue what was happening and brought her teddy bear with her. This broke my heart. At 12 I was still playing with my friends and riding bike, not facing labor.
I cried for that girl on TV. She really had no idea she was pregnant. The mom hadn't done the "talk" as she thought the girl was too young. She almost died during labor. Her little body was not grown enough to deliver normally. As expected, the baby was preterm and almost died as well.
I worked with a 12 year old who was pregnant by her moms boyfriend when I was back in the counseling days. Mom didn't care, the woman had way too many problems, the girl wanted someone to love. All she wanted in her world is a new doll and a drape covering her bedroom door. Perhaps new jeans. So sad.
Why? Why do kids to that? If one pinpoint of semen is on the tip of the penis its possible a girl could technically even have twins. One tiny drop. If nobody wants a baby then don't do it.

Amen... We have a severe lack of education on sex and their own bodies, at a time when children think they can handle adult acts. Its created a disaster. You could have also gotten a different kind of infection, so if the yeast treatment doesn't work see your dr.
Dear Idontevenknow - Kaismama is right - the itching is a symptom of yeast infection, but, also a symptom of MANY sexually transmitted diseases, which is even more of a reason to use condoms with spermicide. These types of diseases can be passed so easily. If bf's last girl friend had genital warts, or some other sexually transmitted disease, he could actually pass it to you with out him having any symptom. When you have unprotected sex, you are literally exposed to everyone your bf has been with. The pill only prevents pregnancy. I strongly suggest condoms also until you are in a relationship long enough to become sole partners.
I second that amen! We get a lot of angry responses form girls and women when we try to tell them to get smart about how they are allowing their bodies to be treated. There are too many young girls out there having sex and not protecting themselves properly. They think their bf loves them then when they wind up pregnant and he has left her all alone with the pregnancy, she comes into the clinic crying and hopeless. I worked in a family planning clinic for about 10 years and have seen this scenario many, many times! People always think it wont happen to them or they figure each time they have unprotected sex and didnt get pregnant that they will chance it again and again and sooner or later you will be within the percentage who does get pregnant.

As previously posted, men secrete sperm all throughout the sex act, not just when they ejaculate (or cum) they cannot feel it or control it so no matter how "careful" he is, you can still get pregnant and you are playing Russian Roulette with your body! Are you prepared to become a mother? I doubt it! You better think long and hard about it because once you have a baby, you own childhood is over! You own wants and needs are secondary to your child's! A simple lesson in anatomy, the vagina is the part of you that is internal, the vulva is the external portion consisting of the outer portion where the hair grows is the mons pubis down to the outer labia, then there are the inner labia (or "lips") which are the soft petal like areas inside the outer labia, the little nub at the top of the inner labia is the clitoris. If the itching is at the mons or outer labia then it may be due to growing pubic hair stubble, if it is internal inside the vagina, it can be from STD's or infection. Men can carry certain STD's and they have no outward symptoms at all but they can transfer it to a woman who will become symptomatic so if the itching is internal, you should see your Dr as some infections can lead to sterility (not being able to get pregnant when later in life you may want to become a mother) I am going to give you my tutorial and I suggest that you read it. It has a lot of good information for a young woman.
For all girls who think they may be pregnant:Please Read!?
1. The pull-out method is not a method, you can still get pregnant-males secrete sperm all throughout the sex act. They cannot feel it and they certainly cant control it. Even if he doesnt see fluid when he masturbates it still occurs. Vaginal sex is much more intense than masturbation and sperm is microscopic. The majority of sperm are released during ejaculation but many are released prior and it only takes one!
2. You can get pregnant if he just rubs his area on your area, but doesnt stick it in, but chances are very small
3. You can get pregnant if you have sex in the water
4. You can get pregnant while on your period
5. You can get pregnant anytime of the month, you never know when you are actually ovulating unless you chart for years. Ovulation charts are a “guesstimate” at best-they are not very accurate.
6. Sperm do not die immediately on contact with the air
7. You can get pregnant even if you douche afterwards
8. You can get pregnant during the 1st time
9. You can get pregnant even if you havent had your period yet, you may be ovulating for the first time and dont know it yet.
10. You can get pregnant while on birth control, it only reduces the risks, the same as condoms
11. You can get pregnant standing up
12. You can get pregnant even if you take a bath or shower afterward
13. You can have your period, and still be pregnant
14. You do not have to have an orgasm to get pregnant
15. You can get pregnant at any time during your cycle,
16. You can get pregnant from pre-cum,
17. You can get pregnant in any position,
18. You cannot get pregnant from oral sex (some people think you can)
19. You can get pregnant even if you go pee right after sex!
20. You can get pregnant while breastfeeding, chances are only slightly lower when first beginning breast feeding then fertility soon returns. This was used as a method back in the dark ages before reliable birth control was widely available. It belongs in the same myth trashbasket that pulling out belongs in! These were only considered methods way back before more reliable methods became readily available, so like back when your grandmother's mother was young. Even then they had condoms, but many couldnt afford them. They are very affordable now and available in most mens bathrooms in most gas stations and convenience stores so there is NO excuse for not having one now days!
21. Birth control pills and other hormonal birth control methods are about 98-99% effective if taken 100% correctly. Condoms are about 70-80% effective when used correctly-they are more effective if you use a spermicide with them. Plan b is about 80% effective the first time you use it. If you use it again in the same month, that effectiveness rate can go down so it can become less effective the more often it is used when used close together. It is NOT meant to be a form of birth control. It is meant as EMERGENCY contraception-like a condom break-NOT so you can excuse yourself that it is ok to have unprotected sex now and use Plan b later. (I only use Plan b as example-it is the same for ANY emergency contraceptive so Next Choice and Ella included)
22. All women ovulate at different times of the month. New studies indicate women may even ovulate multiple times per month, so don't trust your cycle to be your birth control method.
23. Weed, mountain dew and coffee do not make you sterile, so don't listen to that bull either. If a man tells you he has had a vasectomy or that he is sterile ask for medical proof.
24. Anal sex will not make you pregnant although it can transfer std's, cause long term problems
25. Home pregnancy tests are not 100% accurate, false negative are much more common than false positives.
26. Kissing your boyfriend will not make you pregnant, neither will holding hands but these can lead to sex so you may want to have a condom available so you dont get caught up in the "heat of the moment"!! It is no excuse.
27. Stressing can make your period late, even if you are not pregnant.
28. The only way to know if you are pregnant for sure is to take a test. You can not find out by looking at your symptoms. This will only stress you out more! Test.
It doesn't matter what your story is, when you had your period, how many times you had sex, if he did or didnt ejaculate, cum (or nut-my favorite expression -girls, this one is just crass!), if you're on birth control, whether or not the condom broke, or anything. You always have a chance of being pregnant, and that's exactly what we're going to tell you. So before you post, test! You can test 4 days before your first missed period, better yet, a week after your period is late so don't ask us your chances of being pregnant, just test!! Depending on circumstances and your contraceptive method (or none), your chances to be pregnant are from 0.5-2% all the way to 85%.
Common things that can mess up your cycle:
1) stress
2) starting birth control
3) stopping birth control
4) switching birth control methods
5) puberty and natural hormonal changes
6) not eating enough or dieting
7) taking hormones, steroids, or other prescription drugs
8 ) illness
The Science Bit::
*sperm can live for up to 3 to 5 days inside the female body.
*an egg is viable for up to 36 hours after ovulation.
*ovulation typically occurs 14 days before, not after, your period (regardless of cycle length).
*it is rare for the luteal (post ovulation) phase to change, a longer cycle usually means you ovulate later.
*it is impossible to know exactly when you ovulate, without being a dedicated long term charter (and this is difficult to do. The most accurate chart basal temp and cervical mucus every day for years before they are accurate and even then the body can throw you a curve). Therefore it is impossible to say exactly when you are fertile. Women can change from month to month so fertility charts are a guess at best. Online “ovulation charts” are guesstimates at best-they are NOT gospel.
*pregnancy is a risk you take any time you have sex (even on hormonal birth control because that is only, at best, 98-99% effective).
*day one of the cycle is the first day of bleeding.
*therefore your window of highest fertility is from 5 days prior to ovulation until 2-3 days after
Hope this information is helpful. Please refer back whenever you think you may be pregnant!
JUST TO ADD: If you are on birth control pills and at any time you need to take antibiotics, antibiotics can reduce the effectiveness of birth control pills so you need to use back up BARRIER protection, like condoms, for the entire time you are taking the antibiotics AND for at least 7 days after you finish them. Since antibiotics reduce the effectiveness of the Pill, you CAN become pregnant when taking antibiotics while on the Pill if you do not use a barrier back up method. I say barrier method because "pulling out" or removing the penis before ejaculation is NOT effective as a method of birth control and neither is it a back up method, also, I dont recommend the use of emergency contraceptives (Plan b, Next Choice) when you are on hormonal birth control already (birth control pills, Depo-Provera, Nuva Ring, Ortho Evra are examples of hormonal birth control methods). Plan b or other emergency contraceptives are a big blast of hormones and when you are already on hormones, this becomes a hot mess of circulating hormones in your system. It is not contraindicated to use Plan b when on oral contraceptives that I know of, BUT by taking these large doses of hormones, you are opening yourself up for major side effects from these hormones. Things like sore, tender, swollen breasts, nausea, vomiting, cramping, bloating, acne, dizziness, headaches, lack of appetite or increased appetite are all side effects of large doses of hormones found in birth control. Sounds a lot like pregnancy, doesnt it? So if you are using Plan b (or other emergency contraceptive) because of a missed pill or as "back up", it is not going to save you any stress to have delayed periods (most women experience delayed periods or irregular bleeding after using Plan b or other emergency contraceptives) along with the symptoms listed above!! You will be terrified you are pregnant so do yourself a favor and use condoms for back up when needed rather than emergency contraceptives. It is always, always better to PREVENT pregnancy than trying to fix things after the fact!
Another issue comes to mind. DO NOT tell yourself at any time that it is okay to have unprotected sex because you can just take Plan b or Next Choice, or any emergency contraceptives, after-no "heat of the moment" BS-you are in control of your body and "heat of the moment" is just another way of saying "I'm just lazy about protecting myself"!! It is always, always better to PREVENT pregnancy. Prevention is MUCH more effective than taking an emergency contraceptive after the fact! Emergency contraceptives are a great tool to use in our contraceptive arsenal available to today's woman, but they should be reserved for TRUE emergency use, meaning a slipped or broken condom, a dislodged diaphragm etc. It could be used for a missed pill, but as I say above, you are better off using condoms because the added blast of hormones is going to delay your period and make you feel pregnant because of the side effects and believe me-it will shoot your anxiety levels through the roof. If you must use emergency contraceptives, keep this in mind and expect the delay in your cycle. Women will often have a bleeding episode, like a period, after about a week after taking emergency contraceptives (but not ALL women have this bleed) and the next period due is almost always delayed or bleeding may be irregular-you may spot several times or not bleed at all for a couple of months. Every woman is very different so it is hard to say what is "normal" as all of these scenarios are normal. If you take emergency contraceptives and your period is late and it has been at least a month since your unprotected sex event, you can go ahead and test for pregnancy. If you test any sooner, it is likely too soon and it will not be accurate. If it is negative, it is likely to be the hormones delaying your cycle. Wait another month, if still no period, see your gynecologist to rule out pregnancy. DO NOT use emergency contraceptives as a contraceptive. They really shouldn't be taken very often and they do NOT "cover you for a few days"-you return to fertility quickly so if you took an emergency contraceptive one day, dont expect it to protect you the next day-it doesnt work like that. A regular, reliable method of birth control such as oral contraceptives (birth control pills or the Pill), Depo-Provera, an IUD like Mirena, or an implant like Norplant or Implanon, or Nuva Ring or Ortho Evra (the Patch) are much better for your system and MUCH more effective than emergency contraceptives. More women should look into long term birth control solutions like IUD's or implants like Implanon or Norplant. These are effective for 3-5 years depending on which method you choose and they dont require you to take a daily pill or remember anything other than the time that they need to be replaced, so what could be more convenient?
Not all methods are for everybody so be sure that you research the method(s) you are interested in then go talk to your women's healthcare professional and ask any questions and then decide, with their help, which method will work the best for you in your individual situation. We are SO blessed in the time we live in that we have so many options available to us. There is really little excuse NOT to use some method of birth control. It is readily available in so many different places, convenience stores, grocery stores, gas stations, doctors offices, family planning clinics and depending on where you go, much of it is low cost or no cost if you are a student or low income or uninsured. NO EXCUSES!!! Protect yourself and have babies when you WANT to have babies!! It is up to YOU to take control and advocate for yourself and plan your life.
WHEN A WOMAN IS HER MOST FERTILE:
The average menstrual cycle is 28-days – that is counting Day one as the first day of menstrual bleeding(your period), then the next period is due to start 28 days later. Ones period comes because an egg fails to get fertilized. Ones period comes about 12 to 14 days after the egg is produced.
Therefore, in the average 28 day cycle, the egg is produced around day 14. Sperms can live happily 32-48 hours in the vagina or the uterus, so the most fertile time is day 12 to day 16. These are the days that you want to be sexually active. You can also check your cervical mucus but this takes a bit of talent, observation and being familiar with your body. The least likely time to conceive is from day one to day seven. If your cycle is different from 28 days on average, you have to adjust the calculations – the important thing to remember is that the egg is produced about 14 days before the next period starts.
So there's always a bit of guess work involved.
DzooBaby = I have practically spent most of my time today, on this site, answering different pregnancy questions. I recognized alot of what I advised in your perfectly understandable log. Due to space, time, and being new, I just hit on points that seemed to pertain to each one. ALWAYS pushing PROTECTION. You did such a great job of laying it all on the line. If ANYBODY, male or female can read, they have NO excuse for unplanned pregnancy. I have preached till I am blue in the face. I, too feel very strongly about this subject as I used to volunteer in a place that was a home for unwed pregnant teens. Of course that was way back when it was embarrasing to be young, unwed, and pregnant. Females, girls, teens, and women have so many options at their disposal. You can buy a single condom for less than the price of a candy bar, so that is no excuse either.

So glad you put that out there, now, how do we get them to read it??? Its like you realized I was struggling with which person needed which line of advice. I was not easy on any of them, but, very careful in wording. You hit the nail on the head, covered every base I can think of and some I hadn't thought of. GREAT JOB!! I just don't understand how they can NOT be responsible. I hope many ready what you took the time to write, and I will try to find a way to lead them to your post. Any idea how I can do this?? Only been here a few days, still learning the ropes. So ironic that I caught so many of these questions. Knowing what I have seen in homes for unwed mothers really had an impact on me. I may not know many people here yet, but, when it comes to this topic, it is in me to speak out loud and clear!! So proud of the wonderful job you did putting that all together.
I have posted this a few times but it seems most girls (and guys) do not read previously posted answers, they just post their own question again when if they had read back a day or two, they would likely find their answer! I, too, am very passionate about the subject having worked in family planning and it is heart breaking to see these young girls come in with their lives forever changed because they thought is was cool to play sex games. I was a teen in the 80's and there was still some stigma, but probably not the same stigma as in the 50's and 60's up to the 1970's if you were an unwed mother. Now days nobody blinks an eye at an out of wedlock baby! This is a big part of what is wrong with society today. There has been a total breakdown of family and morals. Sex is NOT a game or something to do for fun. I was raised that sex should be an almost spiritual connection to the man you love.

I, of course, was silly and experimented a few times and now I really wish I had waited for my husband but I did learn a lesson out of it. Sex is so much more than bodies coming together for physical pleasure. The first time is a gift a woman can only give once and too many girls are pressured into "doing it" before they are mentally ready because they think "everybody does it" and sometimes the first time can set a woman's enjoyment (or lack of) for their entire life especially if they are not handled properly and sex was unpleasant (or worse) by some young boy who had no idea what he was doing and only had his own pleasure in mind. Women are genetically designed to equate sex with love and emotion, men are not. This is something that many young girls do not realize until it is too late. They think their boyfriend wont "love" them unless they have sex. If a boy/man truly loves you, he will wait until you are ready. If he wont, then he really doesnt care that much about you and many of them will say anything to get you in bed with them! If, God forbid, a girl ends up pregnant, too many times suddenly the boy wants nothing further to do with her. I have seen boys tell everyone this girl is a slut and sleeps with everyone. He may even have his friends say that they too slept with her and all sorts of horrible awful things while this little girl is at a clinic crying"I really thought he loved me!" and every single one of them never ever thought that their beloved boyfriend would do this to them! So then they are faced with going through a pregnancy all alone. It is heart breaking. It is so frustrating to see girls (and women) who come on here and have no idea how their body works. They have no idea how contraceptives work. They are not magic, that is for sure! They must be used correctly and consistently to work well. I truly dislike Plan b and other "emergency contraceptives" and I think they have no place OTC. I think that women should have to ask for them. In this day and age when no one blinks an eye at an out of wedlock baby, no one should be embarrassed to ask for them at the pharmacy counter and this way perhaps they may get some counseling on how to use them correctly. Too many use them as birth control when they are not meant to be birth control and actually decrease in effectiveness the more often you use them especially more than once in a cycle. Many Drs do not understand how to use them either! Also, it gives women an excuse to think "it is okay for me to have unprotected sex now because I can just take Plan b later". Most women do not read the directions that come with them thoroughly or they wouldnt ask the questions that they do on here! Some of us have been admonished for being rude to these girls/women but some of them need to be told straight up that what they are doing is risky! It makes me wonder if mothers do not take the time out of their own lives to teach their daughters about sex. I think too many mothers think "oh she has learned it all by now with TV and movies. She probably knows more than me!" and this is one of the biggest cop outs there is! Ladies with daughters who may be reading this-TEACH your daughters about their bodies and sex-get a book if you are not sure how to do it. Also remember that children learn by example! If they see their mother sleeping around then they will surely follow her example! Be discreet around your young daughters because they are watching and learning from you!
We answer the same questions over and over and over again. The misconceptions are so bad, and education so minimal, these girls are really facing major problems. As far as condoms, I should have used them even when I was married 20 yrs. My ex gave me several stds at once. Oh well excellent grounds for divorce, lol
If your vagina itches, its possible he was unclean and passed something on to you.
