Mountain Biking Pregnant
Easy 10! Do you think I’m pregnant?
I had sex last march 26 & 29 (few days before my ovulation.) All the 3 times, We used a condom that didnt break and he pulled out before ejaculating.
Now, I don’t have my period but instead have brown discharge.
Lately though, I have been barely sleeping and suddenly started eating around less than 1200 calories per day. I’ve also been doing activities like mountain biking, marathons. I’ve also been freaking out because I want to marry my fiancé first.
It is extremely unlikely that you are pregnant.
If he pulled out before he came, the only way you could be pregnant is from his pre-come. Pre-come is not semen and does not typically contain sperm. However, it can contain some sperm if he came earlier in the day, as there could be stray sperm in his urethra (if he peed, that would flush out or kill those sperm). Even if there were stray sperm, there would be far fewer than in semen, so your chance of pregnancy is very small–if you have condom-less sex for an entire year where he pulls out, your chance of pregnancy is only around 4%. (For more information about this, see: http://www.scarleteen.com/article/advice/can_pre_ejaculate_cause_pregnancy )
(It is typical to hear answers here that say things like “the pull out method doesn’t work so don’t even bother”. This is factually untrue–pulling out rather than coming in a woman is, over a year, 20 times less likely to result in pregnancy. While it isn’t a perfect birth control method, it is *significantly* more effective than no method at all.)
In addition, since you were using condoms, he would both need to have sperm in his pre-come *and* this sperm would need to escape from the condom. This is very, very unlikely.
Changes in periods can come from many things, including illness, stress, exercise, or a change in diet. It sounds like you have three of those things happening (lots of exercise, stress, and a change of diet).
Good luck to your and your fiancé!
