Eli, you do know that there are no safe days? It is just less likely, not impossible. As kgraeme elegantly put it:

You two really, really need to learn the basics of sex:

You -> Put it on before you put it in.
Her -> No pill, no thrill.

Eli, all I can say is be more careful than that. Have you heard of the lunar cycle? Its a phenomenon which causes Ovulation at any time of the month, and is related to the moon and her birthday or something - do a search on Google. The most important bit of info is that due to the Lunar cycle, even if you GF is far from her normal time of ovulation, she still may ovulate. Dont risk it.

Bottom line is: Just dont get into that situation. Use a condom.

LOL... Well.. You're fortunate that I believe in astrology, or I would be telling you that the moon couldn't possibly have an effect on ovulation... :D

Well, since her Sun is in Sagittarius and her Moon is in Scorpio, her lunar cycle is during the Dark moon.

So, assuming that things were going to continue the way they have been for the last 7 months, we wouldn't have anything to worry about until... September.. The 6th, 7th, and 8th. :p

It doesen't matter, anyway. Obviously we haven't had any "accidents", yet. And since she's going to be living down here, we can't go by the cycles anymore. So she's going to get on the pill. :)

Edit:

Yes, I know. :) Maybe we're just lucky. Shrug.

Well she's only a week late so no biggie just YET. However, she's against abortion, so WAS I. But I don't know... It would alter my life big time if we kept it. I think it'd be safer in my arms, but it would really suck for me being 19 and basicly rasing it on my own. I would do a damn good job though. It wouldn't be too nice to the kid not having a normal life, but neither would killing it with abortion, you know? But we'll see.

-Peace.

I hope I didn't miss the "Uberdork is a dumbass" bandwagon, because if anything is a sure thing, it's that you are indeed a dumbass. And please, you'd do a "damn good job"!?!!? BS - you have no clue how much work a child requires (I have three), and you're clearly still a child yourself, if not in age, certainly in maturity. Doing a "damn good job" starts BEFORE you get her pregnant, idiot. Even birds know to build a nest before laying eggs, but what have you built? Nothing, I'll bet; you've no doubt been strictly concerned with getting your selfish thrills, and not thought much about the consequences.

Finally, I love the waivering on the abortion issue - a real sign of mature thought. When it comes to your own life, you put yourself first and consider killing the child because it would be inconvenient now. Very nice. :disgust:

The first sign that she is pregnant is when she starts looking at you for who you are, and where you are going with your life. When she starts being interested in your true personal character, beliefs, and starts asking herself if you are a man with integrity, honesty, and some level of morality. When they start trying to decide if you are worth half the pain of carrying a child to term. Most women get an abortion out of desperation, when they find that the person with whom they have entrusted everything isnt man enough to accept the responsibility of being a father, provider, and lifetime mate. Thier first sign of this is when he starts feeling like her becoming pregnant is something to fear, rather than something to look forward to.


Don't take my words too personal. But as a father of a young woman who was murdered because of a young man's fear of being a father, I tend to take exception to people who take less than a mature look at what both HE and Her created or whom are not willing to accept responsibility for one's actions. Once a man feels he is mature enought to take a woman into his arms, he should also feel mature enough to accept the end result what ever the outcome and do so without remorse or regret. If you cant meet these simple qualifications then you need to be responsible enough to save it for the day when you can and with whom you are truly committed.

I feel sorry for young women today who are thought of as simply pleasure devices, like the latest video card, and tossed in the pile of forgotten pleasures like old hardware when thoughtless, mindless men have thier way with them.

Its a sorry, sorry way of life in 21st century America. Of course if you dont have a daughter of your own you would probably have no way to know these feelings.

I know there are a lot of honorable young men left out there today, but reading through the threads each day, I often wonder how rare they might actually be.

As always my comments are intended only for those with whom the shoe fits and IMHO

Sorry to hear that; I have two daughters of my own, and I can barely imagine your pain. I'm sorry too that your words will likely be wasted here, among this "sex-as-sport" immature teenage boy crowd. :disgust:

That's just asking for a baby. Cycle-based contraception is about on par with the "pull out" method. They both inevitably result in pregnancy.
