Question
Im Sixteen and im just getting off the shot. my period is ireggular so i have no idea when  i get it. Me and my boyfriend was about to have sex but right before we were about to we stop and thought it was a bad idea. but the thing is, is that his penis touched my vagina for about ten seconds. later on he told me he was wet when this happenned can i be pregnant?

Answer
Dear Jamie,

There is a one in a million chance that you could be pregnant if the hormones in your shot have worn off, and if there happened to be any sperm on the tip of the penis.

If you haven't gotten your period two weeks after this sexual encounter occurred, buy a home pregnancy test and take it.

Best wishes,

Deb
