As long as the ejaculate wasn't inside your body or on your vagina, you can't get pregnant.

If sperm is deposited inside you during your fertile period, there is a possibility of becoming pregnant. Here are some key points to understand:

Fertility and Timing: Pregnancy is most likely if sperm meets an egg during ovulation, which usually occurs around the middle of your menstrual cycle.
Sperm Survival: Sperm can survive inside the female reproductive tract for up to 5 days, so intercourse a few days before ovulation can still lead to pregnancy.
Contraception: Using contraception methods can significantly reduce the chance of pregnancy.
Health and Age: At 25, fertility is generally good, but individual factors can vary.

If you have concerns about pregnancy or contraception, consulting a healthcare provider can provide personalized advice and options tailored to your needs.

Who is at risk for gestational diabetes?

Pregnant women who can't make enough insulin during late pregnancy develop gestational diabetes. Being overweight or obese is linked to gestational diabetes which may already have insulin resistance when they become pregnant. Gaining too much weight during pregnancy may also be a factor.

I've been sexually active for the past four years and I'm worried that my vagina might have lost some of its tightness. Is that something that can actually happen, and if so, what can I do to tighten it?

It's normal for the vaginal muscles to stretch over time, especially with sexual activity and childbirth. To help tighten the area, you can try pelvic floor exercises like Kegels, which strengthen the muscles. If you're concerned, consulting a gynecologist can provide more personalized advice.

I'm wondering what the early pregnancy symptoms are, like ten days after having sex but before a missed period. What should I be looking out for?

In early pregnancy, around 10 days after intercourse, some women may experience mild symptoms such as implantation bleeding, light cramping, breast tenderness, and fatigue. These symptoms can vary and are often similar to those seen before a missed period, so a pregnancy test after a missed period is the most reliable way to confirm pregnancy.
