Freaking Out

[someguy2023]

I used the withdrawal method today, before intercourse though I had a previous ejaculation from masturbation 2 to 3 hours earlier. I'm pretty sure I urinated before intercourse to clear out the urethra but I cannot remember as it was an almost normal action of my daily life to urinate. I'm freaking out because I know traces of sperm can be left over and still pregnant my partner despite perfect use.

My question is, how long does sperm stay alive right around the tip of the urethra? My partner who is studying to be a nurse states that once sperm hits oxygen it dies. How much does this increase the chance percentage wise? Also, how early can you tell if a woman is pregnant, what are the earliest signs?

Sperm can live up to 3 days...the withdrawl method is not reliable since the precum can contain sperm. Signs and symptoms of preg. is a missed period, nausea and fatigue; however, the symptoms vary with everyone. A home preg. test will help answer your questions.

The real issue is that you placed a bare penis in an unprotected vagina. People do that to have babies. Although the chances of pregnancy on any one time are low, that is how the world works. Get your head out and keep your penis out of there until both are protected.

PS: The incidence of unwanted pregnancy among student nurses is about the same as for other women of similar age.
