Question about potential pregnancy.

[PaulPierce34G]

I received a text msg from a friend of mine this morning stating that he recently had intercourse with his girlfriend.  He said it was her first time & that he had "pulled out" at climax.  He said that her menstrual cycle came 5 days late, but it was very light & stopped the very same day.  I don't want to give him any false information or anything, but would like to see if there is anything I can tell him before resorting to the "Go & talk with a doctor" answer. Anyways, I guess you can see where this is going.."What are the chances that his girlfriend is pregnant?"

PS, this "friend" is not me, lol.

thanks

Celticsblog probably isn't the place to ask a question like this.

The advice you can give him are:

1) Go see a doctor; and

2) Don't be an idiot and use protection.

Well as a former Resident Assistant, I can tell you that pulling out is 87% effective.  So odds are hes all set.  But still tell him, dont be a fool and wrap your tool.

In this day and age, to not use a condom is just silly...especially if the girl is not on birth control and it isnt a long term relationship

Start with a pregnancy test.  They are very accurate.



As for the 'period' mentioned, sounds a lot like implanting.

Implantation bleeding is often brown in color though some mention it to be more reddish.

Implantation bleeding, also called implantation spotting, does not look like a regular menstrual period. Implantation bleeding is scanty and usually pink or brownish discharge.

Based on the few details I have read in this thread, I can unequivocally say that she is indeed pregnant with quintuplets, they will all be 7 lbs 6 oz, have thick hair at birth, and all have green eyes. Unless of course they are Chinese, because as David Lo Pan has taught all of us, Chinese girls do not come with green eyes.

Moving past judgement, which is useless (sure everyone should always use a condom, yadda yadda, personally guilty every so often of failing to use common sense in matters of lust & love)...

There isn't any way to determine the "chance" of her being pregnant, either she is or she isn't.  The bleeding issue is meaningless, since it's common both for women to experience irregular periods or bleeding after sex (esp for the first time), and it's possible for women to have short menstrual cycles after becoming pregnant.

Real talk, tell him to do the following things:

1. If it hasn't been at least a week, just wait and hope for the best.  Tell him to use this time to make sure he's had "the conversation" about her feelings on the issue of abortion and her options if she should become pregnant.

2. After a week, take a home pregnancy test.  If it comes up positive, go to the doctor.  If it comes up negative, follow up with a second home pregnancy test in 1 week.  Two negatives and you're pretty much in the clear.

3. Remind him that the is an issue that everyone who has sex must experience, and that it is her first time so he has a great responsibility to be a support to her during this time.  It is always important to keep the consequences in the back of your mind when you choose to have sex, even with a condom.  If he hasn't had the big abortion talk, if he isn't ready to potentially stand up and raise a kid if that's what she wants, there are other ways of expressing love between sexually active couples that don't make pregnancy an issue.

God speed, keep us updated if there is news...

Yeah, what if the kid ends up being a small forward who can defend LeBron and hit the corner three? How stupid would you feel?

Question really wasn't for you.

I know I just wanted to say that cause i didnt want people to think that I wanted to take the thread in that direction

LOL yes! great movie, TP for you.

as for the topic at hand, pregnancy test first, then if it says she's prego, go see a doctor.

and tell your friend to at least wear a rubber if he's gonna fool around. i have an older half brother because my old man didn't use a condom for his first time in his young and wild days...even though things could have been done differently, i'm glad it happened, it worked out ok in the longrun and i can't imagine life without my bro around.
