my bf assures me that no sperm was release during our intercourse. do boys really know when to withdraw and ejaculated. then he returned it. be he ensured to me that there are no sperm left. am I safe from being pregnant?

i'm feeling a little pain in my abdomen.or lower part of my stomach? is this the effect after having intercouse?

Dear jdimayuga,

Thank you for your question!

Although men do know when to withdraw because they can feel ejaculation coming on, there is such a thing such as preseminal fluid which can contain sperm and they have no control over that at all. This is the reason why the withdrawal method is not considered a reliable form of birth control.

Please try not to be scared or stressed out, since stress can and will cause a delay in your period. Just try not to think about the minor possibility and wait until your next period arrives.
For future reference, it is important that you use a method of birth control such as condoms and/or birth control pills.

Good Luck,

Rosa
