I'm going to see my boyfriend next week. I've been on birth control for a couple months now, but my question is...if he cums inside of me, and I'm on the last week of my pills, is there still a chance I might get pregnant?
Thanks you guys
Anytime a penis is in a vagina there is a chance of pregnancy. Hence, "contraception" or "birth control." I shall assume that the birth control you are on is the pill, one of many forms of birth control. If 100 women are sexually active for a year whilst on the pill, three will become pregnant. Those are the odds and it is certainly an improvement over 85 pregnancies among 100 unprotected women.
It does not matter where you are in your cyle or your pack of pills. Properly taken, the pill controls fertility over the entire cycle, even during the placebo or non-pill days.
I have been taking it like I should daily. Just when I see him, the 2nd day I'm there I will be starting the placebo days.
If I'm not fully comfortable I can always get plan b
Why not adopt a better more responsible "Plan A"?
I you are not yet ready or prepared to be an unwed mother, use a very reliable form of birth control in accordance with the instructions and without fail.
If hour boyfriend is not yet ready or prepared to be an unwed father, he should be regularly using a condom.
The two of you should also use a third line of back up protection--a spermicide.
Both of you should look out for A#1 {you)and not rely upon or expect to be protected only by your partner's method. This is "safe sex".

"Plan B" is not for those times when "I'm not fully comfortable". Plan B will definitely make you feel uncomfortable.
Please read the instructions for your method of contraception, take as directed, and at the same time of day regardless of time zones. Insist on your boyfriend using condoms. If his argument for not using them is that they dull his senses, inform him that he can apply some lubricant to the head/glans of his penis before rolling on the condom, in addition to the outside of the membrane. This will give him more wiggle room and improve friction.
I hope this is of help. Got questions?

Actually two comments. Part of maturation for a woman is learning to live with the fact that if she wants a sex life, pregnancy is always possible. Yes, add a condom and add spermicide and we are down to one pregnancy in several thousand and we have also added to the prep time and the focus on negative outcome. Only you can decide what level of protection is necessary. Choose it and live with it recognizing that each month there will be a red message, or not, announcing your status.
There should be no trouble accessing Plan B because you should have it with you. Whilst on the pill, however, what is your criterion for using Plan B? If a condom had failed or you "forgot" to insert a suppository, you know why you are using Plan B, or its variants. If you are on the pill and taking it properly, there is no indicator suggesting Plan B. By the time your period is late Plan B is no longer effective.
Stay with the pill, add whatever you may wish and learn what all women learn over time - we female and having a sex life requires a degree of risk. Plan ahead.
That's the thing, I'm allergic to latex and idk if condoms would cause a reaction or anything so I never used them.
I wanted to see if I could get Plan B from my Planned Parenthood out here to take with me, but I've been looking up spermicides and stuff, found a couple things I might be able to use as a back-up. I've always been taking my pills when I've planned to, same time every day.
Get educated.
Condoms are made using Latex, Poly, or natural material.
For people who are allergic to Latex, they should look on the pharmacy shelf for condoms made from one of the other materials. If necessary, consult with the pharmacist or assistant.
Before becoming sexually active, make an appointment with your doctor and discuss these things with her/him. The appointment should also be a check up to make sure all "systems" are go, that you know the condition of your hymen if still intact, and that you are physically ready for intercourse.

But why is this all on you? Men supply their own condoms. Tell him poly condoms and let him get the correct size - size does matter in this instance and I do not suppose that you've measured him? Plan B will make you sicker than a dog as the cramps take over. Not anyone's idea of fun so just use poly condoms and be done with it. Make 'dressing him up' part of the foreplay.
What fun is this? Make rolling on the condom part of your preparation for intercourse. It places you in control of how things progress (timeline and intensity of arousal) and will likely give him an added thrill as a result of how you go about this.
As noted in my first post, add some lubricant to the head/glans of his penis only (not the shaft) prior to rolling on the condom. Apply lube to the outside of the condom and to you if necessary. If you are well lubricated, he can insert a finger and distribute your mucus around your vaginal opening and just inside.
I mentioned, above, that condoms are most often made from latex, but for people with a sensitivity to latex, some are made from other materials such as polyurethane, polyisoprene, or lamb intestine.
Polyurethane is the second most common material. Lamb intestine is the most delicate material and offers the greatest sensitivity, yet no protection from STDs, therefore is only recommended for couples in a committed relationship.
