Now seriously girls, what are the odds of becoming pregnant when he doesn't ejaculate inside of you, but he's been inside?

And how accurate are pregnancy tests when you don't do them with first morning urine?

The reason I'm asking is that I haven't had a period in over 40 days, I've taken 3 pregnancy tests and all have been negative. My boyfriend and I horse around, and he puts it in, but doesn't cum - and he's only in a minute or 3. I know precum can have traces of sperm, but I've read about him urinating after the last ejaculation clears out those remaining guys, but anything is possible right?

I'm going to the gyno on Friday to go back on Birth Control because I can't be spending all my time worrying about I'm pregnant and trying to figure out when my period will be.

I was on BC for a month, I bled like crazy so I stopped, 3 months after I had a 16 day cycle, a 25 day cycle and a 28 day cycle. Before I was on the pill, my periods were 40 days apart. I recently moved and got a new job, could my body still be readjusting after the pill coupled with my high stress level?

Just kinda curious about the first 2 questions I asked, any help would be pretty good.

Thanks,
R

Even with typical use though, HBC has a lower failure rate than "perfect" withdrawal use.

I understand that no contraception methods (except abstinence) are 100%, but I withdrawal is just so sketchy to me. If it works for some people, fine but I just would never recommend it to anyone.

This may actually depend on the sources you use for the stats. According to Planned Parenthood (http://www.plannedparenthood.org/health-topics/birth-control/birth-control-pill-4228.htm#effective), HBC pills are about 92% effective with typical use; withdrawal's perfect use rate is 96% (http://www.plannedparenthood.org/health-topics/birth-control/withdrawal-pull-out-method-4218.htm#effective). This table (http://www.contraceptivetechnology.org/table.html) from Contraceptive Technology offers the same statistics.

Books by Allyn & Bacon as well as Roger Hock (textbooks used for my sexuality class) suggest different numbers.

And frankly, I find non-internet sources to be more trustworthy.

Contraceptive Technology, giving the same statistics, is available in book form (http://www.amazon.com/Contraceptive-Technology-19th-Robert-Hatcher/dp/1597080012). :)
