Pregnancy Risk After Birth Control Delay & Condom Use


Question
My boyfriend ejaculated in a kleenex, threw it out, used hand sanitizer, and then fingered me.  could I get pregnant?  I am on birth control, but i took it a few hours late for a couple of days two weeks ago because i was on break and accidentally slept in about three times.  Last week I had my period from tuesday through saturday, and this event happened on Sunday night.  I took my BC as usual on Sunday morning and this morning.

Answer
Dear Jen,

Did you find out if you are pregnant? If you develop any pregnancy symptoms or even if you don't, you can go to a local pregnancy resource center and get a free test done there. These websites have both just recently changed but you should be able to find the pregnancy center nearest you. Go to http://www.optionline.org or call 1-800-395-HELP. Or try http://www.heartbeatservices.org and click on the link for the worldwide directory.

I don't think there is a big chance but I would recommend refraining from sexual activity if worried about pregnancy. No birth control method is really 100% safe in preventing pregnancy.

let me know what happens. You can email me privately at CHERYL51@aol.com and put ALLEXPERTS in the subject line of your email. Hope to hear from you soon.
