Best time for sex: Probably right before the period and right after the period.

Question 2

got my birth control takin out thursday, & i didn't wait for my first period to have sex, for the first time sat. when can i take a pregnacy test?

Accepted Answer

Test anytime: If you are asking when might it be a realistic time for it to be positive you need to wait. They estimate a 6 month trial before establishing a desired pregnancy with variation from a month to a year. The test is unlikely to turn positive before you miss a period.

Question 3

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.

Accepted Answer

What are goals?: It is ok not to have a period on birth control. Many brands are designed that way. If you are bleeding at irregular times this is called breakthrough bleeding. It is frustrating but not harmful. If you are now having sex while not on birth control it is highly likely that you will end up pregnant eventually. If this is not your goal consider restarting birth control. Many methods are available.

Not pregnant: Oral contraceptive plus IUD with negative pregnancy test 44 days after intercourse = not pregnant. Take care.

IUD: The Mirena (levonorgestrel) iud is the most effective form of contraception, as effective as a tubal ligation.

Question 10

had sex a wk before period and got a positive pregnancy test 2 weeks after. is that possible? or could pregnancy hav happen before that intercourse?

Maybe. Maybe not.: If already pregnant, that would mean the "period" was not a real menstrual period, because having a real menstrual period clears out the uterus... So having a real menstrual period means not pregnant at that time.
