I’m very glad you decided to find out the facts about becoming pregnant. The sperm that can fertilize your egg causing pregnancy is absolutely in the fluid before your boyfriend cums (ejaculates). Some people call that early fluid pre-cum. There’s not as many sperm as in his ejaculate, but you CAN become pregnant using withdrawal as birth control.
Your most fertile time during the monthly cycle is halfway because this is the time an egg is released. I can’t tell you what to do if you are pregnant because that’s a decision only you can make. However, you can have plenty of help in making that decision. Let me offer suggestions that may help you take it from here.
If you do decide to continue having intercourse & don’t want to become pregnant you must begin to use condoms every time you have sex. Be sure that you’re using them correctly-- read the package before you begin having sex. Ideally, you should also use a barrier of spermicidal foam inside your vagina at the same time he’s wearing a condom. Both of these can be purchased whatever your age. Condoms are provided free in many health departments and free clinics.
Look in your telephone book yellow pages for clinics.
You can phone without giving your name & ask about pregnancy tests (often they’re free), birth control counseling (you can decide what method is best for you) & pregnancy counseling (to help you decide what to do if you are already pregnant). Of course, talking with one or both of your or your boyfriend’s parents would be ideal, but only you know about your relationship with them. If you think there’s even a chance they would be supportive it’s worth a try by saying something like: “If I ever need birth control advice, where do you think I should go?” Their reaction could offer a lead-in if you feel you can proceed.
You can only know if you are pregnant by taking a pregnancy test. Tests are sold over the counter, but a clinic or doctor does the most reliable test. If you are pregnant, finding out as early as possible will help you & your boyfriend decide whom to talk to next. If you are pregnant it’s especially important that you try to communicate with your parents. And if you aren’t it’s important that you decide how to proceed responsibly with your sexuality.
Contacting us was a great start in learning to make responsible decisions about your sexuality. I recommend 2 books by The Boston Women’s Health Collective: "Our Bodies, Ourselves For The New Century," by & for women about health & sexuality, &, "Changing Bodies, Changing Lives," about young adult sex & relationships.
This is an important time in your lives for thoughtful decision-making. Let us know if we can be of further help.Reviewed by Sexual Health Editorial Team
