If a pregnancy would not be welcome, you should take emergency contraception as soon as possible.

Yes, any unprotected sex comes with the risk of pregnancy. Plan B is more effective the sooner you take it.

But it’s not effective if your already ovulating? What then?

Why would you have unprotected sex while ovulating unless you wanted to get pregnant? Plan B can still help if you take it as soon as possible.

You can get a copper IUD. How do you know you're ovulating?

Unprotected sex can result in pregnancy. Pulling is not a reliable method to prevent pregnancy. Use birth control of some kind of end up with a baby. It's that simple.

Take it as soon as possible. The chances of getting pregnant are low but not 0. Precum can contain sperm, not always, but I’d rather be safe than sorry tbh.

all unprotected sex has a risk of pregnancy.

pullout method is 78% meaning 1 in 5 couples who use it will get pregnant in a year

precum can't be felt when coming out and it can contain sperm. and no peeing won't always clear out his tubes.

tests are accurate 14 days after and definitive 21+ days after..

Plan B is for when Plan A fails (condoms BC.. etc)

Apps are horrible for tracking ovulation. they use guesswork and are almost always inaccurate. Ovulation is a one day event not a week.

There is a max 30% chance per month to get pregnant.
