Pregnancy

If weeks after this risk, you had a normal period, then there really is no reason to be concerned about pregnancy. But if you’re still worried, even knowing that, the best thing to do so that you can relax is just to go to the drugstore, get a home pregnancy test and take it so that you can see that…

Yo, buddy: it’s not up to you if your girlfriend sustains her pregnancy or not. It’s up to her and her only. You also don’t get to decide for her how she terminates her pregnancy, if that is, in fact, what she wants to do. As well, no doctor can give a partner the medications needed for a medical…

For a majority of people who menstruate, the time period you’re talking about, a week after your menstrual period ends, is a window of the highest fertility: in other words, the time when most people who menstruate would be at their highest pregnancy risk. Thing is, with any question like this, we…

Birthright is one of many antichoice/pro-life organizations (like CareNet, Heartbeat International or the NIFLA) which supports a certain kind of pregnancy “help,” and we would not recommend anyone go to one of the centers affiliated with them, which they help fund, or others like them; even women…

Pre-ejaculate can contain sperm, and it’s something that (especially during penetrative activities) usually goes unnoticed by both partners. The vagina is a wet environment, so you are not going to be able to feel the addition of some extra fluid. And (no matter what a partner may claim) men…

ANY direct genital contact that is unprotected ALWAYS puts you at a potential risk of pregnancy (when your partner has the genitals that could co-create one) and sexually transmitted infections. The vulva is a wet place, and sexual fluids like ejaculate and pre-ejaculate are also just that, fluid…

Your boyfriend needs to understand and accept that it’s very unlikely he never pre-ejaculates if he does fully ejaculate, too. In other words, if, at his age, he’s reached the stage of puberty where he can ejaculate, then he also does pre-ejaculate. Pre-ejaculate is how the penis “prepares” itself…

This is an unusual question, and I’m not sure if you intended to ask this literally, but let’s see… There is no set number – minimum or maximum – of times you can have sex before you get pregnant. A person with the capacity to get pregnant can have sex and get pregnant the first time they do so…

No, it is not. Sounds to me like your girlfriend has misunderstood how fertility cycles work. While cycles vary between people who menstruate – which is part of why the “calendar method” isn’t a good one – a vast majority of those people will be most fertile mid-cycle, between around day ten and…

Hey there, Gabi. Have a deep breath, and let it out good and slow: it is going to be okay. I want to make something clear from the get-go. YOU are the one who gets the final say here. Not your boyfriend, but also not your Mom, either. Making a choice about a pregnancy is a big deal, it’s something…
