Expert: Lyndsay Mercier Date: 6/28/2008 Subject: could my gf be pregnant
Question ok me and my gf had sex on 06-17-08(which she said was her last day of her period) and we used a comndom and i came inside the condom and im pretty sure that it didnt break. so i took the condom off and a lil later she tried to get on me without a condom. im not sure how far she got but i pushed her off and i put on another condom. i didnt come after that. but around the 20th of june she told me that her stomach was hurting and that she was throwing up. i thought it was probably was just a stomach virus because it went away. yesterday 06-25-08 she said that her stomch was hurting again. is she pregnant? please help asap.
also it was our first time having sex.
thank u for your time
Answer Kayan,
I'm glad that you insisted on using a condom even when your girlfriend was attempting to "get on" you. Good for you!
Anyway, the chances of her being pregnant are very small since you used a condom, and did not ejaculate inside of her. The only small chance would be if there was still any semen left on your penis after sex, and if she had indeed inserted your penis into her at that point. Most likely, you have nothing to worry about as you responsibly put on a fresh condom right away.
Not only that, but three days after intercourse is way too early for her to be having pregnancy symptoms. Most of the time, women don't have any symptoms until around 2 weeks after conception.
