He Pulled Out A Little Late, Could I Be Pregnant?

Ali, from MI asks:
My husband and I are not using any form of birth control and he went to pull out and got a little in me. It's time for my period and I have not started yet but it has only been a week. I wanted to know what my chances are of being pregnant.

Stacy Says:
Like I've said before, EVERY TIME you have sex, there's a chance of getting pregnant. Especially if you aren't using any form of birth control. You're playing with fire there if preventing a pregnancy is the plan for now! If it's time for your period to start and you haven't--don't freak out! The mind has an incredible influence on your body and hormones. If you start stressing that you aren't starting your period, you might actually convince your body not to start. It's a wacko mind-trick us females have. Especially if you aren't regular to begin with.

But since it is time for your period to start, take a pregnancy test ($3 at Wal-Mart) to know for sure. And in the meantime, if you and your husband are waiting to start a family--GET SOME BIRTH CONTROL! Condoms, pills, Nuvaring, Ortho-Evra patch, IUD, Depo-Provera...there are too many birth control methods out there to use the unreliable, messy pull-out method!

Are you sure you weren't trying to "accidentally" get pregnant???

Who doesn't know that

semen + vagina = baby

?????
 
Ah Anonymous, i think your math is a bit shakey. I believe the equations are

two careers + semen + really expensive invitro fertilization for the umpteenth frickin' time + vagina = no baby yet

whereas

unemployment + semen + one night stand + pickup truck behind a stripmall + vagina = omg another baby

If I remember my highschool math lessons correctly of course.
