I had my last period on May 30 and my boyfriend and myself had sex for the first time yesterday, and it was protected. But he said he thought it might have ripped and were both real big worriers and were kind of afraid that there is a big chance i could get pregnant. Is it a big possibility to get pregnant about 3 days after my period ended??

It's always a possibility.

Ok, anything is possible. If the FIRST day of your last period was 5/30, and if you have a "regular" 28 day cycle, then you would ovulate on or about the 13th of June. Meaning next Tuesday. All of that is a BIG "if", because there's no way of knowing if you did or didn't ovulate yet.

What does he mean, he THINKS the condom ripped? If it did, you should be able to SEE that. Condoms don't usually rip, unless they're OLD and dried out, or you were so dry that the friction tore it. If that's the case, you would have been in a lot of pain, too. Also, if you used vaseline as a lubricant (a big NO NO!) any petroleum based product will destroy a condom.

In any case, as Tish said, call your doctor, and get the "morning after pill" immediately, then you won't have to worry.

Then, make an appointment with the doctor to get a physical, which you now should have done annually since you're sexually active. While you're there, talk to the doctor about getting on some kind of birth control, then you won't have to worry about getting pregnant.

we didn't use any kind of lubrication, the kind of condom we used was lubricated and it was wet enough down there that nothing else was needed, and even if it was a little tear would you still be able to see it??...i'm not real worried about it because i dont think it ripped at all i'm just trying to make sure of all the facts because i'm kind of new at all of this...

What makes your b/f think the condom tore?

Condoms are a lot like balloons. When they rip or pop they REALLY let go! You'd more than likely notice the tear in it.

Thanks for the advice, and we think were good because it wasn't very long, and then the next day we went and bought condoms with spermicide on them and none of them ripped...so were pretty sure that everythings alright..thanks for the help though

you dont have to be able to see the tear for semen to get through so if youre even a little worried about it then get checked out by your doctor now. also, since your new at this, the more lube the better in most cases, better safe than sorry.
