Question
Hi There, I have a fairly simple question , I have been off of birth control for 3 months now and recently had sex with an ex unprotected. As he withdrew he came a bit on his way out - is it possible to become pregnant if it wasnt completely in me ? please help
Yes. If you are around the time of fertility your vagina protects sperm and assists them toward the ova.
Now it is quite possible that you were nowhere around the time of fertility, and coming off the pill maybe nowhere near an ovulation.
Had you been having periods? If so then you could have been ovulating. If no periods, the chances of pregnancy are reduced.
