Ah, but you CAN get pregnant even WITH the pill! The only 100% guarantee is abstinence. The pill is 99% effective though, then condoms (upper 90%), then other forms of control. But, the pill does not prevent the spread of STD's. A condom will reduce the chance of STD's greatly. If you want to be as safe as possible, use the pill AND a condom.

Honey, if you don't know how a woman gets pregnant, then you have NO business having sex.

Do you know what "the pill" is? Do you have any idea how a woman gets pregnant? You'd better start educating yourself, or you'll wind up pregnant.

Also, aside from pregnancy, have you heard of sexually transmitted diseases? That can be worse than getting pregnant....like you could get HIV, which becomes AIDS, and you die! Or you get genital warts, which means you can't have sex with anyone except another person who has it, or you will be spreading the disease like typhoid Mary. There are lots of nasty diseases out there, and they are called sexually transmitted, because you get them from having unprotected, or unsafe sex.

Yes, you can get pregnant if you don't use the pill..After all, birth control pills are designed to prevent ovulation which in turn helps prevent pregnancy..Out of curiosity, how old are you?

Well, I'm pleased that your asking.

Yes, you can get pregnant even though you are a virgin. Plenty of virgins have gotten pregnant in the past. Technically speaking, you are a virgin only if you haven't had a penis in your vagina. Being a virgin has got nothing to do with being able to get pregnant.

Anytime that semen from a guy gets over or into your vagina you can get pregnant. When many guys get aroused and erect they ooze a clear slippery fluid (called "pre-cum" by most people) out the tip of their penis before they orgasm (or "cum"). That can contain sperm too. So you have to be careful to avoid getting ANY fluid from a penis near or in your vagina.

You need to be careful if you are playing around and giving a guy manual sex by using your hand on him or if you are giving a BJ. In fact, be careful where the fluids end up any time you are playing around with a penis. It would pay for you to spend some time learning more about your body and how it works as well as learning more about contraception and birth control.

virgin2005. how old are you ? i hope your young because it seems you havent had much of any sexual education. the pill prevents you from getting pregnant and the only time you can GET pregnant is without protection. when you do start having sex if you havent yet id suggest seeing a docabout going on the pill and use condoms if you dont use birth control. dont feel embarrased you asked that ? though. thats what this website is here for ;) and im inlove with it. tootles.
