You can get pregnant any time sperm in introduced to the vagina. Sperm live outside of the body in open air for about 30 minutes. If you cleaned up with the same toilet paper, or towel as is fairly popular, you can definately get pregnant. Condoms prevent the need for toilet paper,...

With that being said, I know a woman who got pregnant on her honeymoon. She didn&#039;t want any more kids for a while so she went on the pill and got pregnant with twins. After the twins, she had a house full of kids and decided on tubal...

Is this normal?<br /><br />Yes. This is very normal. Most women experience breakthrough bleeding when they begin taking the pill (and almost any other kind of horomonal birthcontrol.) This can occur for several months between your periods but should stop happening when your body adjusts to the horomones in the pills.

Can she be pregant by me?<br /><br />It&#039;s possible, but not likely. Women typically ovulate 12-14 days after the first day of their last menstrual cycle. A woman can become pregnant if she has engaged in unprotected sex within 4 days of ovulation. (Yes gentlemen, they keep on swimming for 4 days. It&#039;s a scientific...

The hemoglobin is affected by many different things including the amount of iron and oxygen in your blood. Hemaglobin is also affected by the presence of other cells and proteins as well as illnesses like colds and flus. In...

Acne is caused when skin cells are not shed properly, mix with oil and clog the pore. Wearing tight clothing, especially during excercise, can make it worse. I would recommend caring for this skin the same as caring for any other skin....

(she had her first period at 12 and before now then she has never had an irregular menstrual cycle)<br /><br />Irregular menstrual cycles are very common in teenagers. Horomone fluctuations, stress, atheletics, and many other things can cause changes in the cycle. Additionally, some STDs can cause spotting between periods. If this is accompanied by excessive bleeding or abnormal pain, see a doctor...

What this means is if you take a sample and put hydrogen peroxide on it, it will bubble. This indicates that staph bacteria is present. This is just a quick test though and is not a substitute for proper laboratory testing and medical treatment. Wed, 14 Feb 2007 13:29:54 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/391922 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/388779 If I took 3 birth control pills in 1 day and have a little bit of spotting and cramping for 2 days...is that normal? Am I pregnant? I know you spot if you mess up your BC pattern, so I'm not too worried...but should I be?<br /><br />If you miss your pill for a couple of days, spotting and cramping is very normal. It is not normally advised that you should ever take three pills in one day. Usually, when missing two days in a row, you are instructed to take 2 pills for the next 2 days and use an alternate form of birth... Tue, 13 Feb 2007 19:01:37 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/388779 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/388763 I've been on the pill for 2 years, and last month was really crazy, and I'd miss a pill, double up the next day, but some days I'm miss three and only take 2, but then take 2 the next day. I'm on my off week now, and my period is late, could I be pregnant<br /><br />Yes. Each time you miss the pill, especially on consecutive days, you decrease the effectiveness of your birth control and increase your chance of becoming pregnant. If you are having alot of trouble maintaining your pill schedule, there are other forms of birth control that may be more... Tue, 13 Feb 2007 18:55:03 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/388763 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/388739 Is it possible to get pregnant by two to three day old sperm?<br /><br />Inside the body, yes. Outside the body (unless overseen by a professional sperm handler,) no. Sperm continue to swim upstream for up to 4 days therefore it is possible to become pregnant if you have engaged in unprotected sex up to 4 days before ovulation. Tue, 13 Feb 2007 18:47:35 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/388739 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/388701 I had unprotected sex not for very long though, I was intoxicated. anways the guy said he didnt cum. I missed my period by 9 days, but I was very stressed out before it came. The only other sign I have are sore/swollen breast. could I be prego?<br /><br />Anytime you have unprotected sex, you can become pregnant (or infected with any number of STDs including HIV.) Even if a guy doesn&#039;t &quot;cum&quot; he still produces &quot;precum&quot; which contains a sufficient number of sperm to cause pregnancy. Drinking alcohol and doing drugs makes...

Kudos to you for using a Condom, however, no form of birth control is 100%. In addition to pregnancy, stress, and physical exertion, there are many other causes for missed... Tue, 13 Feb 2007 18:30:27 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/388657 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/388634 I'm about a week away from my period but last week I had a brownish color spotting that only came out when I wiped and there hasn't been anything since. Is that a sign of implantation of the egg in the uterus?<br /><br />Brownish spotting is not a likely sign of implantation of the egg. Brownish spotting or &quot;breakthrough&quot; bleeding is fairly normal even when on the pill, especially if you are new to the pill. As with anything though, the pill is not 100% and does not protect against STDs. Condoms are... Tue, 13 Feb 2007 18:21:28 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/388634 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/388621 What is the percentage of getting pregnant when you're not on the pill and you have unprotected sex?<br /><br />Out of 100 women, 80-85% become pregnant within 1 year if they are having unprotected sex. Tue, 13 Feb 2007 18:16:18 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/388621 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/388618 I had sex on 1/28/07 my period suppose to had come on 2/9/2007 but it didnt i dont know if im pregnate<br /><br />Unfortunately Meshaa, the timeline is very suspect of pregancy. Women typically ovulate 12-14 days after the first day of their period. A woman can become pregnant if they have unprotected sex up to 4 days BEFORE ovulation. I would suggest taking a preganancy test. If you are unable to get... Tue, 13 Feb 2007 18:13:14 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/388618 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/388575 I am on the BCP Yasmin and am due to start my period today but am worried it is not going to come. Twice this month I took the pill 6 hours late and twice I missed it completely, but not consecutively. I've been feeling nauseous. Could I be pregnant?<br /><br />Anytime you have unprotected sex, you could be pregnant. However, if you did not miss your pill for consecutive days, the chance of you becoming pregnant is relatively low. Although you are on the pill, horomone levels still fluctuate throughout the month and causes nausea in many women. Tue, 13 Feb 2007 18:03:35 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/388575 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/388540 I'm on the pill but had unprotected sex the week I was supposed to have my period (I skipped it that week by starting a new pack)& I think I may be pregnant. If I am, will I miss a period completely or will I still get a "pill period" like I usually do?<br /><br />You should miss your period. The pill period is due to a drop in your horomones. If you are preganant, your horomone levels should not drop to a level that your period will start. Tue, 13 Feb 2007 17:56:21 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/388540 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/388493 I have been on Ortho-Tri Cyclene for 5 months now and have had very normal periods. I am just barely on week 2 of a new pack and have started my period. What can cause this and should I be worried?<br /><br />Breakthrough bleeding is normal when you first begin taking birth control and can continue for several months after starting the pill. If the bleeding continues for longer than a normal period, you experience severe pain and/or abnormally heavy flow, talk to your doctor. Additionally, if you... Tue, 13 Feb 2007 17:41:27 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/388493 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/388465 I read that it was okay to start a pill pack on the first day of your period. I thought I was starting my period on a particular day, so I started the pack, but 5 days later my period hasn't started. Is this because I started the pack too early?<br /><br />It could be because you started the pack too early or... you may be pregnant. In addition to preganancy, there can be many serious conditions that result in missed periods such as STDs, cysts, and cancer. Better safe than sorry. You should take a preganancy test, then consult your health care... Tue, 13 Feb 2007 17:33:24 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/388465
