IF YOU ARE POSTING TO ASK IF YOU SHOULD USE EMERGENCY CONTRACEPTION:
Please do not wait on us if you may need or want EC (like the morning-after pill). Because it is most effective the sooner it is taken or administered, we suggest that you go ahead and get it, and if you want to talk to someone about whether or not you choose to use it, we can do that with you after. That way, you have it ASAP if you do decide you want or need to use it. <3
My friend recently got pregnant and she brought up a question that I've been curious about for years.
What exactly happens to ejaculate and sperm when a woman is already pregnant? Is it advisable NOT to have penetrative sex while carrying a foetus? I've never been pregnant, but I've heard that pregnancy can cause horny levels to shoot sky-high... and I'm not sure I'd be happy to have to resist them hormones while pregnant! xD
What happens is the exact same thing that happens to almost all of the ejaculate when a woman is not pregnant: it drips out of the vagina some time after intercourse.
If all is well and the pregnancy is progressing as normal, penetrative sex during a pregnancy is usually just fine.
