Emergency Contraception & Pregnancy Risk: What to Know


Question
Hello,

On my second week of birth control (14th pill) I had dry humping..with genital contact but my bf came away from my vagina and wiped off directly with sm tissues...within two hours I took an emergency contraception pill just to stay safe. I had days were i didnt take my pills at the same time

What are my chances of getting pregnant?

Answer
S,

It would be practically impossible for you to get pregnant in the context that you gave. Not only was there no penetration, but you had no contact with your boyfriend's semen PLUS you took emergency contraception.

Even if you hadn't taken the EC, there was virtually no risk of pregnancy, but I think it's good when people err on the side of caution, and you certainly did just that. Relax! You're fine :)
