My boyfriend and I were having sex, and the condom fell off.  I have NO IDEA how long it was off for, and I'm freaking out.  What are the chances of getting pregnant from that?  Because I should be getting my period any day now, and I'm not getting any signs of it coming at all.  No cramps, no pms, nothing.

what should I do???!?!??

Just calm down and take a pregnancy test. Do you track your periods? If you do go on google and search for an ovulation predictor. You can punch in your menstrual cycle information and it will give you the approximate days of ovulation which is when you are most fertile.

Giving you an accurate chance on if you are pregnant or not is impossible.  However,  I will say that ANYTIME you have sex, condom or not, there is a chance.  So, if you take the condom out of the equation, your chances naturally go up, and continue to go up with each factor you add in/take away.  The best thing you can do is start to prepare for the worst, and decide what you're comfortable with and not comfortable with.

You've already expressed anti-abortion views, so obviously that's out, unless you're willing to rethink it all.  Have you considered the morning after pill?  Your local free health clinic will give you the pill with no charge to you, so that might be the best choice at this point if you are comfortable with something like that?

Other than that, all you can really do is wait, and start taking pregnancy tests if you realize that your period still does not show signs of coming anytime soon.  If you do turn out to be pregnant, you still have a few options, so feel free to come back here if that scenario does come up, but lets cross out fingers and hope it doesn't.

Also, condoms are great for protecting against pregnancy and STDs - but have you considered doubling up the protected with birth control on your side?  Pills are great, and they are about as effective as condoms - so that might be something for you to consider next time, just as a backup for things like this.

Anyway - best option as this point in for you to visit the health clinic, get the morning after pill, and relax from that point forward.  No matter the outcome, you seem intelligent, so I'm sure you'll be fine - but if it can be avoided, then why not avoid it?

^^ Total agreement to your post
Although I'm not sure if the annon who posted "no abortion" was the OP or not- if it wasn't that option is still open
BUT if it's been fewer than 5 days since sex go get Emergency Contraception as soon as physically possible
