Question QUESTION: MY boyfriend and I were having unsafe sex, with no condom, we planned for him to "pull out" when he was close to cumming, however, he cummed a little earlier than he thought, it got a little of it by my vagina, like just in general in the crotch area, and pretty much all of the rest nowhere near my vag, i went imideiatly to wash it off, but did not even think of the fact that i could be rubbing it into my vagina, what are the chances of pregnancy? i do not know if i was in ovalation, my last period was around june 21stand also, can your body naturally douche when you are pregnant? THANKS!
ANSWER: Dear Katie,
You could very well get pregnant from the sexual activity you just described.
When did this happen? If it happened within the last couple of days, you should immediately go to your nearest pharmacy and buy Plan B Emergency Contraception. You do not need a prescription, but you need to be 18 or older. If you are under 18, get someone else to buy it for you.
Also, if there is a Planned Parenthood near you, they may sell it to you no matter how old you are.
If you need more info about Plan B, write back, otherwise I'd go RIGHT NOW to buy some. It only works if you take it within 3 days (72 hours) of unprotected sex.
As far as the last question goes, I am not sure I understand what you mean by your body naturally douching when you are pregnant. If you want, write back and describe that last question a little more and I will try to answer it,
Take Care,
Deb

QUESTION: I have no way at all to get out of my house for the next three days because of equestrian activitys and lessons, also alot of family problems, i think on this one i will rely on my good god to take care of me, in the end its his choice if i get pregnant or not and i respect that, i just wanted to know if there was a high or low chance, thanks =]
Answer Dear Katie,
Thanks for the follow up. I apologize about the Plan B suggestion, I didn't realize you wanted to get pregnant.
Depending upon how much actually got inside of you, the chances are probably good that you could be pregnant. The reason I say that is because of the timing. You said your last period was June 21st, so I don't know if that meant the 21st was the first day or last day of your period. I was guessing that you meant it was the last day. Normally you ovulate 2 weeks from the first day of your period. Sperm can live in the female body, according to some sources, for up to 5 days, and other sources say up to 7 days.
So if the 21st was the last day of your period, you'll probably ovulate a week to 10 days later, so around now. If the sexual activity you described in your question happened yesterday or the day before, the sperm is probably still alive so if enough got in you, it might meet up with an egg.
