Question:
well, I don't know how to put this. My gf and I have been having semi-unprotected sex for over a year now. I always pull out before hand, and I mostly wear condoms. Anyways.. what happened is one time she was on top and didn't get off when I asked, and came very close to me shooting inside of her, but I'm almost certian that I did not, or if I did very little. That happened on Oct. 8th, her last period was Oct 2. I've been quite worried about it because she happened to be VERY regular, exactly 29 day cycle. Although she's had an extreme ammount of stress this past 2 months. So much that it's causing severe depression. She feels that she isn't and tells me to not worry. I just want to be on the safe side, but she refused to take a Preg. Test. How likely could she be?

She could be pregnant. There are a lot of factors involved. One thing I do know, is that you will find out soon enough. What I hope that you learn from this experience is that semi-unprotected sex is still unprotected sex. Think of all the things you could be creating or daydreaming about with the enormous amount of energy that is currently tied up in anxiety about her potential pregnancy. It's not a fun or comfortable way of being. Ask yourself why the two of you are putting yourself at risk. Is there something you are avoiding by creating this unwanted or at least, not outwardly discussed possibility? Do some soul searching. And from now on, unless you two are geared and ready for parenthood, delete the "semi", and only have protected sex.
