Pregnancy...Positive result 10 days after conception using condom and withdrawal?

robotfoot4robotfoot4 Registered User regular
Hey, I'm a little worried. I had sex with a friend the week she was supposed to be getting her period (approximately 4 days before). We used a condom and I pulled out. She said she took a urine pregnancy test at the doctor's office 10 days after we had sex and it came out positive (i didn't see her take the test though.) Could she actually be pregnant?

    Pregnant? yes. With your kid? Less likely, but still possible.

  • ComahawkComahawk Registered User regular
    I am a little confused, you were wearing a condom and pulled out before you ejaculated? It seems unlikely (although still entirely possible) that she is pregnant by you. Additionally, have I missed something, or don't doctors usually test by blood if someone is pregnant. Urine testing (I have always assumed) was done by home pregnancy kits.

    Either way, yes it is possible she is pregnant (especially if you penetrated before wearing the condom or caused contact between the vaginal area and your semen). If she is, I would consider getting a DNA test done on any child that is a product of said pregnancy though.

  • robotfoot4robotfoot4 Registered User regular
    Yeah, I put the condom on before making any kind of contact AND pulled out before i ejaculated. Four days afterwards she said her period was late.

    They definitely use urine tests, I think unless you're really late and there's doubt, or if they think something is wrong with your hormone levels. I never had a blood test done and I went into an office. Urine tests are like a hundred times cheaper. But she could request a blood test I suppose.

    I'm assuming you used a condom the WHOLE time, didn't pull out, put one on, and then finish up? Because then yeah, she could be pregnant by you. But if you were wearing the condom the WHOLE TIME you were in her it's is pretty unlikely you got her pregnant. Still not impossible. Just unlikely. Very unlikely.

    And it seems like all is dying, and would leave the world to mourn
  • robotfoot4robotfoot4 Registered User regular
    Right, it was on the whole time. I didn't ejaculate at all, even after pulling out. I didn't take the condom off until she left.

    Well that's a little weird.

    She could still be pregnant, but if so it is very unlikely to be yours.

    ok, thanks for the responses though. I'm just super worried...

  • naporeonnaporeon Seattle, WARegistered User regular
    Provided you are giving an accurate representation of what happened, there is virtually no chance at all that the child is yours. Seriously. None.

    Do your due diligence and be responsible, but unless you're lying to us, really...don't worry.

    No ejaculation typical means no baby.

    After she took the test she was very adamant about it being mine. And she said there has been no one else...

    False positive maybe?

  • DetharinDetharin Registered User regular
    <terrible human being> Which could be anything from she got drunk at a party and does not remember who else it could be to she knows exactly who else it could be and you are a far better option for attempting to trap into emotional/financial support. Heck a paranoid man might say she set the entire thing up because she had already tested positive on a home test. </terrible human being>

  • MetalbourneMetalbourne Inside a cluster b personalityRegistered User regular

    Maybe.

    Or a real positive due to some previous activity.

    This.

    Seriously, if there is an actual pregnancy, which I doubt, get a DNA test. I would be willing to bet large amounts of money that baby is not yours.

    While it's pretty impossible that you got her pregnant from this instance of sex, it's still possible if you've had unsafe sex with her beforehand. Are you practicing safe sex EVERY TIME with this girl? If so, it's still very unlikely that it's yours. No matter what, if she claims the baby is yours, a paternity test in order before anything else. This is very important because if you accept the child as yours without a test, the courts will basically say "Good enough for you, good enough for us" and force you to pay child support even if it is later found out the kid isn't yours.

    This. If this isn't the only time you've had sex with her, maybe there's something that was "unsafe" in past activity. If it IS the only time you've had sex with her you would have had to do something pretty fancy on top of what you told us to actually succeed in getting anyone pregnant. Assuming this is the only time, I do not think you got her pregnant.

    Again, that doesn't mean she's not pregnant, and hearing "we were having sex and she was out the door before I ejaculated or even removed the condom" makes me think of someone who would rather say it's your baby than someone else's... but if she really hasn't had sex with anyone else and that was your only time, that's bordering on "miracle". :P

    On top of the fact that you said "friend" and not "girlfriend", you will want to be getting a paternity test as soon as it is possible to do so. As that won't be for a while, you might want to actually see the results of a pee test. If she went into a doctor's office and they did a test right there, she should be able to get this little slip of paper called a "proof of pregnancy". You need them for things like medicaid and financial assistance. It shouldn't be difficult to procure.

    But seriously I've had this shit pulled on me before and I would take the "your the only one" thing with a grain of salt. Be aware that if she is in fact pregnant and you ask for a DNA test she will flip the fuck out on you but that comes with the question. I would just like to say from personal experience that YOU pick the place where the paternity test is done and go with her to make sure it actually gets done.

    Do keep in mind that there is a, though very miniscule, chance that it might be yours if she is actually knocked up. I would just put it at the back of your mind and
    1) establish if she actually is pregnant
    2) establish that it is or is not yours

    But I'd wager a fair sum if what you've told us is truthful that she isn't pregnant and if she is it isn't yours.

    Just to add to the minusculity of the chance, 4 days before a period is due is also one of the least likely parts of a cycle for pregnancy to take hold. Not that it's totally impossible, mind you, but on top of all the other things you've said, it makes things even more unlikely.

    You sure you're not bending the truth on any points of the story? I don't think anyone will berate you or whatever if you want to 'adjust' certain parts of the telling, but if you're still worried at this point then there's got to be some other piece of the story that's the reason why, I'd think.

    No, that's what happened. It made me worry more when she said the test was positive.

    It's not "horrible human being" to think that there is a chance that if she is pregnant you are not the father, especially with a story as sketchy as this one.

    A friend of mine a couple years ago had a casual sex partner that became pregnant and swore that he was the only possible father. He contacted his lawyer and ended up demanding a paternity test. She hemmed and hawed and tried to stall, but the results said that it wasn't his. Sometimes people lie when they get scared.

    A post birth paternity test can be as cheap as $200-$400 and is a hell of a lot cheaper than getting roped in to eighteen years of paying for a child that isn't yours. If she says it's yours, tell her your lawyer requires you to have a paternity test performed before you make any financial agreements.

    On the other hand, if this woman is pregnant, and you are the only person she has had sex with, and it was only one time, and you both wore a condom and pulled out, and you didn't even ejaculate, than congratulations, because I'm pretty sure you're involved in something biblical.

    To be fair while the sketchy version of events we have is highly improbable, it does remain within the realm of possibility. Hence my prefacing my advice with the disclaimer that I am in fact a terrible human being and this should be considered. Potentially if you spend the next nine months acting under the assumption that she is trying to financially trap you, ignoring her as much as possible, and telling her to pound sand until the paternity test comes back you are running the risk that the child is yours and irreparably damaging both the relationship with your childs mother as well as potentially your child itself. She could be completely honest, telling the 100% truth, and you are nine months away from being a dad.

    <terrible human being>We, of course, having only your story to go by are still making the assumptions that she is lying, and has slept with other people. Defaulting to she is a whore it is not yours is a rather negative position to take minus all the facts. She could also be doing this to try and convince you to date her with the logic of you will probably panic and decide it is better to raise a family than pay support. In a couple months if she suddenly "miscarries" ask her if she "miscarried" again three days later. </terrible human being>

    Thanks everybody. I'm just not sure what to think. I'm not planning on treating her like crap at all. I try to keep in contact with her. When she texted me that night about the positive test, i called her back and we tried to discuss it. All she kept saying was "you're gonna take care of your responsibilities!" I told her that i never said that i wouldn't, i'm not going anywhere, and we should take this step by step. The next morning she kept texting me things over and over along the lines of, "We can do this the easy way or the hard way where i take your ass to court!". A few hours after that text, i called her and she didn't answer, and hasn't called me back.

    I know what Ackbar would say. If that is her first response my advice is to break off all contact, refer her to your lawyer, and have her advise you through him when she is ready to have the paternity test done.

    <terrible human being> That or call her back and act extremely excited about being a father. Act like you are on board 100% and absolutely thrilled about it. Start talking baby names immediately. Then casually drop in conversation that after the doctors told you that you would never be able to bear children how broken up you were, and that this baby is an absolutely miracle. Then go on to say that due to you suffering Glen Boylan's disease it is absolutely vital to get a blood test done as soon as possible to see if your child has inherited your rare blood condition. Act incredibly worried about this possibility. Bonus points if you make her reassure you everything will be ok with your miracle baby. </terrible human being>

    The most likely sequence of events, and assuming the worst in people:
    -Girl sleeps around.
    -Girl gets pregnant but either doesn't know who's the father, or for some reason does not want to seek out the father.
    -Girl panics.
    -Girl seeks out male friend most likely to "take responsibility".
    -Girl arranges to sleep with said male friend.
    -Girl then pressures said male friend to "take responsibility".
    -Said male friend unwittingly bears burden for rest of natural life despite being a good human being and used proper protection.

    tl;dr: Do what Detharin says, but minus the terrible human being part. Then again, maybe tell her you're suffering from unusual bumps and lesions, and that you just tested positive for HIV...

    Here is a piece of advice for those wondering: Don't post like Detharin did here. It's entirely unacceptable.

    There will be no more "terrible human being" posting in H/A. If you want to post like a terrible human being, find somewhere else to do it, because after just three posts I am sick of it.

    And it seems like all is dying, and would leave the world to mourn
  • wonderpugwonderpug Registered User regular
    Akilae's scenario seems pretty likely. What's making this really tough is your inexperience around sex, which is fine, mind you, but it's letting her confuse you, trick you, or otherwise take advantage of you. She's probably just really really scared.

  • ceresceres When the last moon is cast over the last star of morning And the future has past without even a last desperate warningRegistered User, Moderator Mod Emeritus
    I am going with "scared". Otherwise "out the door before the condom is off" is kind of harsh.

    And it seems like all is dying, and would leave the world to mourn
  • robotfoot4robotfoot4 Registered User regular
    Yeah, she left before i could take it off. I didn't kick her out or anything. Her being scared is making me scared, even if the evidence is showing that i shouldn't be. I'm just not sure how to handle this situation.

  • ceresceres When the last moon is cast over the last star of morning And the future has past without even a last desperate warningRegistered User, Moderator Mod Emeritus
    Well, you can still be her friend and maintain that you're not the father. And if I were you, I would be pretty hardcore maintaining that.

    Out of curiosity, how old are you two?

    And it seems like all is dying, and would leave the world to mourn
  • robotfoot4robotfoot4 Registered User regular
    i'm 24 and she's 25.

  • DetharinDetharin Registered User regular
    As a friend, if you wish to maintain that, be as supportive as you can. As a potential father sign nothing, commit to nothing, do not let her put you on the birth certificate, do not start any form of dating or romantic relationship with her, and insist upon a blood test.

    This shit is scary. Even if we assume you are her only partner, and are the father the situation is a huge life changing one for both of you. Factor in parental uncertainty, and the lack of any real preexisting relationship between the two of you she has a lot of extra reasons to be freaking out.

    My advice figure out what you want to do. Then sit down with he and lay out how you want to handle things. If you plan on being supportive, then be supportive. If you plan on breaking contact until the court order shows up for paternity then explain that. Just do not get wishy washy, do not let her manipulate you into a relationship that can later be used against you. Do not have any further sexual contact with her that could later be used to against you.

    ...And that would be the version of Detharin's advice that is acceptable. Sincerely, good job.

  • robotfoot4robotfoot4 Registered User regular
    I planned on maintaining a speaking relationship. I don't know about friends because she's acting as if i tried to get her pregnant. Even though i used a condom and never ejaculated. The night that she told me the result was positive I told her that i didn't want to date her or be in a relationship with her but i will have her back during this. I understand why she's flipping out, i just don't understand the anger towards me when i'm trying to be supportive, the anger and the text messages i mentioned earlier were there before i even told her i didn't want to be in a relationship with her.
