Yes: Using protection during sexual intercourse decreases your chances of becoming pregnant, but are not 100%, even when used correctly. If you are worried about pregnancy so much that it is interfering with your normal life functions, you should seek help from your doctor.

It may not: Be normal, but it is very common. No protection is 100% effective.

Up until last month my periods have started in the morning. Last month it started in the evening because I was stressed due to a pregnancy scare. Today is my first day and it hasn't started yet. Should I be worried or is this normal?
