Can I get pregnant with my clothes on?
If you’re only indulging in dry humping and both or you’re clothed (even if it’s just your underclothes), the chances of you getting pregnant are minimum to nil. It’s impossible to get pregnant if you’re wearing jeans and layers, but if your undies are sheer or of very think fabric, pregnancy is possible…but rare. What you need to understand is that the sperm survives in liquid state. That is, it requires the spermatic fluid or the vaginal fluid to survive and get deposited into your privates.
Is pregnancy possible when I am on my periods?
It’s possible, but a very rare one. Because women generally don’t ovulate during this time (some do, it depends on your body) as the ovulation starts two weeks from the start of your periods. But the chances of attracting STDs is higher when having sex during periods, so use proper protection during all four days.
How to know If I am pregnant?
The only way you can know is if you miss your periods. But that’s not always accurate. You could have missed your periods due to stress, change in weather, diet plans, work or family pressure and any number of other reasons. But if you want to be sure, it’s better to take a home pregnancy kit and wait for your chums. If you’ve not had intercourse, the chances of you getting pregnant (via precum, cum on things, stomach or vaginal entranace) are very low. So, stop worrying.
What to do if I am pregnant?
Even if you’ve taken a home pregnancy test that’s positive, check with your gynaecologist once. Some OTC pregnancy kits aren’t reliable. If your doctor confirms your pregnancy, you can check with her for pills if you want to terminate the pregnancy. If you hurry up, you might be able to do so via pills alone.
Are morning-after pills safe?
Morning-after pills or emergency contraceptives are safe, as long as you don’t make them a habit. If you take it because your condom broke or you forgot to use one, it’s safe. But it’s definitely not recommended for regular use, only for emergencies. It should be taken within 72 hours of the act. You might feel feverish, nauseous or even get mild headaches and cramps. Your next cycle will get affected too, but at least you’ll be able to avoid an unwanted pregnancy.
Please remember that these points are not gospel truths and that anything is possible…as our bodies are different and work in weird ways. Consult your doctor if you’re worried about getting pregnant or an elder before taking any action.
