Much misinformation about sex and pregnancy exists, including myths about positions and how sperm can be killed. Many people think that even without a condom, there are ways they can avoid becoming pregnant, or that they might become pregnant without even having sex; some of these ideas are true, some partially so, and others totally false. Keep reading if you want to get the real information on these concerns.You should always call your medical provider if you have signs of pregnancy or pregnancy questions.

Common questions

What if I was on my period? You can still get pregnant, as sperm can live from five to seven days inside the vagina, especially if fertile cervical fluid is present.

What if I didn’t have an orgasm?An orgasm is simply a physical (if pleasurable) response to certain sexual activity, and while it may seem that the increased blood flow and lubrication of the orgasm would increase fertility, it really has no effect on sperm’s ability to travel through the vagina. Orgasm also has no relationship with ovulation; if it did, you wouldn’t even have your period without having an orgasm each month. Call you physician whenever have got weight gain during pregnancy.

What if we did it with me on top?Sperm are not affected by gravity; they can still travel the vagina and reach your fertile egg.Being on top is irrelevant; if the man ejaculates inside the vagina, or near it, the woman may become pregnant.

What if I was a virgin?Although some people believe otherwise, be certain that even if it was your first time - and even taking into consideration that your hymen was intact - you can still get pregnant.All you need to get pregnant is a fertile egg, and sperm cells given a chance to access it.

Sperm and air exposure?Air is not what kills sperm; the sperm cells need to be kept moist in order to survive. It can survive outside of the body as long as it is still moist; what kills the sperm cells is not air itself; rather, it is being dry.

What if there is sperm in a hot tub or pool? Some people are afraid they could become pregnant by being a pool or hot tub that someone has ejaculated in.In this case, the temperature of the hot tub and the chlorine in the pool kill the sperm immediately, leaving no cause for concern.

What if we have sex in a shower, hot tub, pool, or other water.? YES. If actual intercourse with penetration takes place, the sperm have easy access to the vaginal canal and can fertilize an egg, just as if you were having sex in a bed.

What do I need to do to avoid becoming pregnant?

If you are trying not to get pregnant, keep in mind this guideline: no sexual activity that leads to ejaculate coming into contact with the woman’s body, from the bellybutton to the thighs.It is possible for sperm to survive several days, whether it is in the vagina or not.

Probably the simplest and best thing you can do, if you want to both be free of worry about becoming pregnant AND enjoy a varied, full sexual experience, is to use protection (condoms) and/or another form of birth control.
