Pregnant


Question Posted Thursday December 4 2014, 11:14 am

Hello, I've last had sex on the second to last day of my period, November 15. You may say gross, but the last few days I am very, very light that it's barely there. That was almost three weeks ago. I am not on the pill but he wore a condom and he didn't even finish because he told me that he didn't trust the condom, so he took it off and that was the end. I didn't really think much of it, I can't be pregnant if he didn't finish and he wore a condom but yesterday, I was leaning over my dresser to get pants out to wear and my back got a terrible pain in it, my lower back to be exact. I took ibuprofen and it didn't help at all. I fell asleep, I woke up and it was still sore but not as bad as the day before. Now, to alleviate pain, I bend down to get things but the knees and not just bend over. I know it's silly but in my mind, I'm linking the two that an early sign of pregnancy is lower back pain. I haven't gained weight though, I haven't really had mood swings, they say increased body temperature is another sign but I've been pretty cold lately and not warm, so I really have no other "early symptoms" but in my hypochondriac mind, I'm worried about my back pain. I am scheduled to get my period in three days, if I didn't already say that. So, if you don't think my back pain is related to that.. can you take a gander as to what it is related to? I really have no other symptoms of feeling sick either, so I don't really think I'm coming down with anything. Thanks for any help!

You are probably not pregnant, though you should be on the pill as it is the best form of contraceptive. At 20 you certainly do not need parental permission and you are entitled as an adult to a sex life.

Back pain is very common to the human animal as we were never meant to walk upright. It does not take much to cause a muscle injury. Leaning over as you were and then standing erect as you might do a hundreds of times but this one time you did it a bit different is all it takes.

As to the possibility you are pregnant. The chances are 85% to 15 % you are not pregnant.

Here is why the odds are this way. About 85% of women are most fertile between the 7th and the 21st day of their cycle. This is when they ovulate. IN 15% of women they can ovulate at any time during their cycle including during their period.

Having had sex during your period your chances are 85% you're not pregnant. This are increased by the fact he wore a condom. Just how much so I can't say as their is not statistic available other than a condom is only 85% effective in preventing pregnancy. If none of his precum, which he emits without knowledge, escaped the condom then as long as you are not part of the 15% who are fertile at any time during their cycle; the chances are you are not pregnant.

If you do not know when you ovulate then being on the bill which is 98 to 99 percent effective with the man wearing a condom as well the chances of not getting pregnant become 99.999 percent.

Your partner should always wear a condom as they prevent many STDS from being transferred and the protect against the HIV/AIDS virus. Practicing safe sex until you are in a long term monogamous relationship is the safest course of action to remain healthy.
