Here is the scenario.
I've recently began dating someone (about a month now), and everything has been perfect. We both feel we've found something very special in each other and have already talked openly and at length about long-term plans. So it's a great relationship with life-long partnership written all over it.
During our first sexual experience together I experienced difficulty penetrating. I suggested utilizing a condom and she declined, informing me it was her first time and she was afraid a condom would generate more pain. She reassured me that she was on the pill, of which I was already fully aware. I further suggested providing her with oral sex to aid lubrication, but she also declined.
We proceeded with the sexual act, gently and unprotected, while I inquired her often about pain or discomfort. We did not use withdrawal and I eventually completed an unprotected ejaculation, while inside her and in the missionary position, which I'm told facilitates fertilization or so the urban legend goes. Contact with the hymen also led to bleeding and pain. I provided her with comfort and support for several hours, genuinely concerned about her experience.
After intercourse she revealed that she had been having loose bowel movements, for the previous day and a half, possibly as a result of moderate consumption of Red Bull.
Understanding that diarrhea reduces BCP efficiency we decided to purchase a Morning-after pill. She consumed it roughly 13 hours after intercourse.
So reviewing all the facts:
- Partner on Birth-control, taken early every morning;
- Partner suffered from moderately frequent loose bowel movements for day and a half prior to unprotected sex;
- Loose bowel movement occurred shortly after taking the pill in the morning (approximately 30 minutes after taking pill);
- Full internal and unprotected ejaculation occurred while in missionary position, during night between the 10th and 11th day of her menstruation cycle;
- Morning after pill taken roughly 13 hours after unprotected sex;
- Pregnancy is unwanted by both.
She has reported moderate side-effects to me, from the MAP. Tummy-aches, slight dizziness and tiredness, and slight tenderness in breasts.
Granted the complex set of circumstances, what are the chances she may be pregnant? I've come to understand that the MAP is not very effective after ovulation has occurred. How likely is it that she had ovulated at the time of intercourse, due to the diarrhea's effect on the BCP?
I feel terribly anxious, although she does a great job of reassuring me that everything will be fine. Need I be so worried?
Thank you all in advance for your help.
P.S. Regardless of the outcome: Lesson learned. No more penetration without full protection.
