Latex condoms can provide up to 98-99 percent protection against pregnancy and most STDs, including HIV infection, but only if they are used consistently and correctly

I hate being a statistic.

 

[demi]

Do you also hate being so blatantly obvious????????????

 

[kumanoki]

I hate being a statistic.

I hope you're on the 98-99% end of that stat, pal.

 

[Jonnyram]

So did you get someone pregnant or did you get an STD?

 

[btrboyev]

if its on the accident side, theres no worries..just get some Plan B..free from any planned parenthood..just do it fast.

 

[revivalist]

I hope you're on the 98-99% end of that stat, pal.

In an alternate dimension, yes.

Pretty obvious that he wouldn't have posted the thread if he was.

We made an appointment with Planned Parenthood for Thursday. The incident happened last night.

edit: BTW, btr, it's me Desi. Remember me? And another thing, they said it would cost 90 dollars. An exam would cost 60 dollars and the pills themselves would cost 30.

I really can't believe it broke.

 

[btrboyev]

can you be a little more clear? Did the condom break? Or did your Gf end up pregnant without you noticing any accidents..because well if you didn't notice and problems with the condom, I'd say you should sit her down for a little talk.

So if you have sex 100 times then chances are that a chick wil lget pregnant once? Do those spermicide condoms work better?

Don't they have a morning after pill or something?

 

[btrboyev]

its like 8% chance you can get pregnant, and I'd advise you don't make an appointment and just go..they can't refuse you and the plan b pill needs to be taken as quickly as possible to be highly effective.

hey desi!

edit: BTW, btr, it's me Desi. Remember me? And another thing, they said it would cost 90 dollars. An exam would cost 60 dollars and the pills themselves would cost 30.

just say you can't afford it...they have to give it to you for free..they get funding for just that purpose. If not, find another Planned Parenthood nearby. Also there shouldn't be any exam.

You mean like how when you flip a coin and get heads the next time it's always tails?

 

[revivalist]

She said she didn't want to wait. I was kind of stunned by that response from her. I was thinking along the lines of, "Fuck an appointment, I'll sit there and wait with you." I don't understand why there is such a fee for the Plan B pill, or why they're charging her that much.

Thats not how the math works.


*wait for hanger pick*

 

[btrboyev]

trust me, if you make it clear you can't afford it, they will give them to you for free. And yes don't wait just go.

That's not what the statistic means, but it is a classic example of misinterpreting a statistic.

I really can't believe it broke.

If you're having sex on a consistent basis, why isn't your girlfriend on birth control? Seriously, it's not that hard to get.

 

[Hollywood]

You mean like how when you flip a coin and get heads the next time it's always tails?

No, but 98 - 99% isn't that protective if you do it a lot. You should consider having your girl add birth control or something. It's a lot more safe when you have a couple lines of defense.

 

[Alucard]

Sex is a risky business and condoms aren't foolproof either. Sorry to hear about your bad luck.

 

[Hollywood]

That's not what the statistic means, but it is a classic example of misinterpreting a statistic.

Well they don't exactly specify what the statistic IS. Provide 98-99% protection, how ambigous is that? 98-99% of the time no juice gets through, it doesn't break, your girl doesn't get pregnant ... what?

 

[Nerevar]

Well they don't exactly specify what the statistic IS. Provide 98-99% protection, how ambigous is that? 98-99% of the time no juice gets through, it doesn't break, your girl doesn't get pregnant ... what?

Sorry, should've been more clear. That statistic covers all condom use (and I've usually seen it at 95%), including improper condom use. That can include a variety of things, from people putting them on wrong, people not using the right size, or even people even reusing the same condom. The average person using condoms correctly and consistently shouldn't have any trouble, with the (admittedly rare) occassion of condom breakage happening.

And a statistic of 98% means that it is likely to happen 98 out of 100 times, not that it will happen 98 out of 100 times. Just that as you repeat the action an infinitely many times you will gradually approach a rate of it happening 98 out of 100. There are no gaurantees when probability is involved. If you do it 98 times, the 99th and 100th don't inherently carry any more risk than times 1 or 2.

 

[Jonnyram]

No, but 98 - 99% isn't that protective if you do it a lot.

You're supposed to use a new one each time You increase the chances when you have more sex, but it doesn't mean that it will definitely happen one out of a 100 times.

 

[revivalist]

If you're having sex on a consistent basis, why isn't your girlfriend on birth control? Seriously, it's not that hard to get.

She's on the pill but has only been on it for a week.

I'll throw up everytime I see that commercial for condoms where the workers are in the manufacturing facility and are putting the condoms through "rigorous" tests. They need condoms that can withstand rigorous sex.

 

[Wellington]

You knew after a day that she was pregnant!?

Hrm, bullshit's in the air.

 

[Cubsfan23]

Oh how i miss the fact that my ex had her tubes tied........

 

[Tenacious-V]

Exactly, it's always best to be safe. The best way is birth control for the lady. If taken properly and consistently, the chances of pregnancy are almost nil. I haven't been using condoms for about 6 months now (with the gf), but she's on the pill and everything is A okay. If you're going to have sex, especially on a consistent basis, defintely make sure your partner is on the pill.

As for your situation, it's unfortunate (unless you want a little bundle of joy in a year)...but don't wait around. Go get it taken care of, what are you doing on this msg board?!?

Damn dude, what'dd you do ... imitate a jackhammer or something?

 

[B'z-chan]

ah ever heard of the day after pill? if not abortion? Oh god more gaf babies. PS day after pill can be taken up to 72 hours after incident.

[Pachinko]

I don't think he knew she was pregnent, it seems to me his condom broke, some juice got through security wall D and made its way through the creation canal. In other words, its like a precaution thing, deal with it before its actually a problem.

 

[Hollywood]

Isn't that how you're supposed to do it? :lol

Not so it busts! Only one thing is supposed to bust ,and its not the condom. :lol

 

[revivalist]

Not just some juice, my friend.

Oh god more gaf babies.

I say you should be taking care of this now instead of chillin on Gaming Age. Longer you wait, the more likely there's no goin back.

 

[revivalist]

There's nothing I can do now.
I have work at 7 in the morning tommorrow. She has obligations for the next two days.
She has an appointment for Thursday. And all I can do is hope for the best.

What's with the apathy of male GAFfers handling potential pregnancies? If i had a similar scare, we'd both be at the office the next morning, waiting for them to open. It's one thing to procrastinate on taxes or homework, but not for this. The sooner you get this taken care of, the less you'll have to worry about.

Hmm obligations/work, or a kid......... I say you guys can afford to take a day off. You have no idea what you're risking. It may not seem like much, but once that wheels in motion, dude you're life is gonna change so much.

 

[Jonnyram]

Call work dummy. Say you have to go see a doctor.

 

[Cubsfan23]

:lol :lol Thursday? The Pill isn't that effective after 96 hours. Quit being a dumbass and go to Planned Parenthood yourself

 

[Ninja Scooter]

YOu know what's 100% effective against pregnancy? Good ol' Charlie Five Fingers, thats what.

 

[Tenacious-V]

YOu know what's 100% effective against pregnancy? Good ol' Charlie Five Fingers, thats what.

Oh Jesus
:lol :lol :lol :lol You're cruel man, cruel!!

 

[Brannon]

Another effective way (I think) would be stress and starvation. Stress because the chemicals produced by it can hurt an adult, so it does quite a number on a fetus, and starvation because that imitates famine conditions. During the first few weeks of pregnancy, the body is unsure about going through with it, so if any undue stress or malnutrition suddenly hit early on, the body will go through self-preservation mode and force a miscarriage until better times come around.

So yeah, stress and starvation. Or you can go with THE HANGER[/ominous music]

You know, that might be funny if my aunt's ex-husband didn't try that on her many years ago...

I highly doubt those obligations are more important than avoiding a pregnacy.
