Question 1

what can i do to avoid pregnancy after intercourse naturally?

Accepted Answer

Not possible: Intercourse with internal ejaculation near time of ovulation has about a 1:4 likelihood of conception. Douche can increase risk and cause infection. "pull-out" method not reliable, but some risk reduction. Standing up afterwards can encourage drainage down/out, which might reduce chance a little as opposed to lying down. Condoms extremely effective and pregnancy prevention.

Question 2

if i pass a loose, watery stool about 3 hours after taking birth control and 2 hours after intercourse, would protection against pregnancy be affected?

Accepted Answer

No: The BCP you're taking would still be absorbed

Question 3

how long after intercourse should i wait to take a pregnancy test? i no longer have a period becsuse of continuous birth control pills

Accepted Answer

2-3 weeks: but if you are on pills, then the chance of pregnancy is

Question 4

i got a quantitative blood test done at 3 and a half weeks after intercourse, and i took a urine test 5 weeks after, all negative. ive had a withdrawal bleed from my birth control, any chance of pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

: No. What you described is not consistent with a pregnant state.

Question 5

is a pregnancy test accurate 30 days after intercourse? had sex on 10/25. had an iud placed 11/6 and had a week of bleeding. iud-kyleena placed on 11/8, prior to kyle a was on lutera 21 birth control for 3 months. stopped lutera on 11/6 for iud to be?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If you did the test correctly and it was negative 30 days after sex, you are unlikely to be pregnant. To be sure you should get a blood test for HCG level.
Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
Get HPV vaccine.

Question 6

last had intercourse 44 days ago. period is two weeks late. pregnancy test done today negative. could i be pregnant? missed day 3 of birth control pill 3 days after intercourse?

Accepted Answer

: Home pregnancy tests administered a week after a missed period are usually quite accurate. Consult with your OBGYN for further guidance.

Question 7

possibility of false negative pregnancy test 36 days after intercourse? also on birth control and used condom but am having spotting and heavy cramps.

Accepted Answer

No: So all you need is to be off on bcp, have condom fail, be in ovulation window, and have a swimmer find egg? If still worried, can always re-test, but should not be due to pregnancy.

Question 8

how to avoid pregnancy naturally after 2 weeks of intercourse as i could see some symptoms of pregnancy.

Accepted Answer

Avoiding pregnancy: Avoiding pregnancy happens before intercourse with the appropriate form of protection or birth control.  Unfortunately, if one does not prevent pregnancy, and becomes pregnant, then one must seek out an abortion.

Question 9

when after intercourse would a home pregnancy test be effective?

Accepted Answer

10-14 days: The pregnancy test can be effective 10-14 days after intercourse. I suggest to wait for the regular menstruation. If the menstruation fail to start, do one pregnancy test. If the test is negative, wait another 1-2 weeks for the menstruation to come. If not, repeat the pregnancy test. If the test is again negative and menstruation is absent, there may be other causes for the missing menstruation.

Question 10

is there any way to avoid pregnancy after sex? after about a week?

Accepted Answer

Sex: It all depends on your cycle and at what point you had sex. If your period is regular and you had sex around the mid mark, which is close to ovulation, pregnancy is possible. Always use protection when pregnancy is not desired. Good health.
