If your male partner smokes or uses marijuana in any way, his sperm count may or may not go down , but he can definitely still impregnate you so use birth control. original post

Yes, you can still get pregnant. The heat or chlorine in a hot tub will not kill sperm or make it more difficult for sperm to swim. Once the penis ejaculates inside the vagina—whether you are in a pool, hot tub, or romantic, candle-lit bedroom—you can get pregnant! original post

The short answer is YES! If you have regular periods, you are less likely to get pregnant while on your period than at other times in your cycle—but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. original post
Can I get pregnant from anal sex?

No. You cannot get pregnant from anal sex. For a pregnancy to occur, semen has to be in the vagina , which is near the uterus. The butt is not connected to the vagina, so there’s no way for sperm to meet an egg. If the semen comes out of the anus and (somehow) gets […]

Yes, all ejaculate, whether it’s his 1st of the day or his 10th, contains millions of sperm and it just takes one to get you pregnant. original post

No. You cannot get pregnant from oral sex. For a pregnancy to occur, semen has to be in the vagina , which is near the uterus. The mouth is not connected to the vagina, so there’s no way for sperm to meet an egg. So no, swallowing semen won’t lead to pregnancy. That being said, […]

No. Sperm can swim up, down, sideways, in all directions, so you can get pregnant no matter how creative you get with positions. Gravity cannot prevent sperm from reaching your egg. original post

Pregnancy is a beautiful thing, but it’s also serious business. It can increase a woman’s risk for diabetes, high blood pressure, and blood clots. The worst health risk of pregnancy is death, but, lucky for us, that rate is really low in the United States, especially for women in their twenties. original post
Can certain STIs make you infertile?

December 1, 2015
Yes, chlamydia and gonorrhea, if untreated, can cause pelvic inflammatory disease , a.k.a. PID. PID can cause scarring in the tubes that connect the ovaries and uterus and make it more difficult for an egg to travel in the right direction. Luckily, chlamydia and gonorrhea can be easily tested for and treated with antibiotics. One […]
Can I get pregnant with my clothes on?
-

No. Dry humping cannot lead to pregnancy. Since sperm cannot swim through clothing, getting pregnant while clothed (and that, of course, means while wearing clothing that prevents penetration—a mini-skirt pulled up around your waist doesn’t count!) would be very unlikely. Sperm exposed to air lose their ability to swim and can only live a few […]
