A member asked:

Ive had sore breasts for a week now as i always do around the time of my period but i am a day late. whenever i have sex we use a condom and pullout?

If...: If you are using the pullout method this is definitely not a safe way to avoid pregnancy. Condoms are not either the best since they don't protect as much as a hormonal birth control would to avoid pregnancy( they are very useful to protect against STDs), so I would suggest to wait a couple of days and if you are usually regular and no period yet get a pregnancy test.
