FYI: For Your Info

SEX:

Every time you have sex there is a chance you can get pregnant. No protection is 100% effective. There is permanent birth control like tubal ligation and fallopian tube oclusion for women and vasectomy for men. Yet these are still 98-99.8 effective.

PRECUM:

Precum is more accurately known as pre-ejaculate. This is a bodily fluid that frequently seeps out of the penis during intercourse.

Precum contains sperm so you can still get pregnant if you pull out before ejaculating. Pulling out is not a good method of birth control, specifically, because precum can get you pregnant.

Further investigation revealed that the majority of pre-ejaculate fluid had dead or no sperm at all.

It is possible for small amounts of sperm to exit your reproductive system and make its way into the precum or pre-ejaculate.

CAN YOU GET PREGNANT WITH OUT PENETRATION?

For all practical purposes, you cannot get pregnant without penetration.

However, there are some simple but doubtful exceptions. For conception to occur, all it takes is for semen to come in contact with the vaginal canal.

If ejaculation occurs and semen comes in contact with the vaginal canal, conception can occur even without penetration. This is rather unlikely, but it is technically possible but highly unlikely.

CAN YOU GET PREGNANT WHILE GRINDING?

Grinding can occur fully dressed, nude or more frequently in underwear. Getting pregnant while grinding is highly unlikely.

There is very little chance of conception, particularly in fully clothed partners.

The chances, although still slim, go up when you grind while in underwear and even more so if you grind while nude. If you are grinding in underwear, there is a remote chance that semen could seep through the underwear and gain access to your vaginal canal. This is highly doubtful but possible.

The chances of conception go up even further if you are grinding in the nude. When he ejaculates and it lands on your stomach or thighs, it could accidentally gain access to your vaginal canal.

HOW TO PREVENT pregnancy

ABSTINENCE:

Abstaining from vaginal intercourse prevents pregnancy by preventing the man's semen from coming into contact with the woman's egg. Abstinence is one hundred percent effective in preventing pregnancy when it is used continuously.

CONDOMS

Latex condoms are worn on the penis during intercourse. They prevent pregnancy by keeping semen from coming into contact with fertile eggs. Condoms are often given out for free at health clinics, and they're available for over-the-counter purchase for about $1.00 a piece at drug stores and grocery stores.

An added benefit of condoms is that they protect both parties from sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) as well as pregnancy.

Condoms are made from thin latex, so they occasionally tear during intercourse. When this happens, the chances of pregnancy go up.

Some people have allergies to latex condoms, and choose condoms made of plastic instead.

FEMALE CONDOMS:

Also made of latex, female condoms are shaped like a ring with a pouch. The pouch fits inside the vagina, while the ring stays outside the body to hold it in place. They collect semen during intercourse so it never has a chance to enter the woman's body. Female condoms cost about $4.00 a piece and are available at drugstores.

Female condoms reduce the risk of STDs by protecting the vagina from directly getting touched.

Female condoms are slightly less effective than regular condoms, and some people say that they are less comfortable to use.

DIAPHRAGMS:

These shallow cups made of silicone are inserted inside the vagina and over the cervix to prevent semen from contacting an egg. They are commonly used in combination with spermicidal jelly, which prevents sperm from moving, in order to increase efficacy.

Since every woman's body is a slightly different shape, diaphragms must be fitted to make sure they're the right size. Talk to your gynecologist or health clinic worker about getting fitting for a diaphragm.

Diaphragms are quite effective, but they don't prevent the transmission of STDs.

BIRTH CONTROL PILLS:

Birth control pills, often referred to in shorthand as "the Pill," consist of synthetic estrogen and progestin hormones that keep a woman's eggs from leaving her ovaries, so that pregnancy can't happen. When taken properly, they are extremely effective. Contraceptive pills are available on a prescription-only basis from your gynecologist or health care provider.

The Pill must be taken every day, at the same time each day, to work properly. Skipping a few days could decrease its efficacy.

The Pill causes some women to experience side effects. Different brands of pills have different levels of estrogen and progestin, so your doctor may prescribe a different brand if one seems to be causing negative side effects.

OTHER HORMONAL DEVICES:

The same hormones that make birth control pills effective can be distributed to the body by other means. If you don't like taking pills every day, consider these options:

DEPO-PROVERA:

or the birth control shot. This shot is administered in the arm once every three months. The shot is very effective at preventing pregnancy, but it has been reported that side effects are possible.

THE PATCH:

The patch is usually placed on the arm, back or thigh. It distributes hormones through the skin and has to be replaced every few weeks.

BIRTH CONTROL RING:

The ring is inserted into the vagina once a month. It releases hormones to prevent pregnancy from occurring.

BIRTH CONTROL IMPLANT:

A small rod is inserted in the arm, and it releases hormones to prevent pregnancy for up to three years. It must be inserted and removed by a health care provider.

INTRAUTERINE DEVICES (IUDs)

The IUD is a small metal device inserted in the uterus by a health care provider. One type of IUD works by releasing hormones, and another type is made of copper, which affects the mobility of sperm and stops them from fertilizing the egg.

IUDs are extremely effective and last up to 12 years, although they can cost from $500 to $1,000.

If you're concerned about disrupting your menstrual cycle, consider the copper IUD, which doesn't interfere with your hormones or cause hormonal birth control-related side effects.

PREVENTING pregnancy AFTER SEX:

Use emergency contraception.Also called Plan B, emergency contraception consists of two pills containing levonorgestrel that are ingested as soon as possible after sexual intercourse. The sooner they are taken, the more effective they are at preventing pregnancy.

Emergency contraception is available at most pharmacies and from your healthcare provider.

Emergency contraception should not be a replacement for regular birth control; it's a last resort to be take after unprotected sex.

The Plan B pill is emergency contraception that can be used up to 72 hours after a birth control failure or unprotected sex. Plan B is Levonorgestrel taken in two doses 12 hours apart.
