False! The risk of pregnancy is present if the partner doesn`t ejaculate during intercourse. Neither the fact that the partner withdraws himself before ejaculating isn`t enough to avoid pregnancy. Sometimes it`s possible that the pre-ejaculatory fluid, which is released during penetration and which is under the man`s control, to contain active sperm that may cause a pregnancy. The “withdrawal method” is a risky practice when it comes to protection, which often leads to unwanted pregnancies.

9. I Can Take a Pregnancy Test Immediately After Intercourse

To be certain of the result of a pregnancy test, the best period when you need to take the test is when the menstruation should occur or at 1 – 2 days after noticing your period is late. A pregnancy test can detect the pregnancy hormone (hCG) in urine in around 2 weeks from the moment of ovulation. This period may be different from one woman to another and in even when, from various reasons, the woman ovulates earlier or later than usual.  Thus, if you take the test sooner, you most likely cannot trust the result. – Read this!

False! Menstruation might not be present in the following months after birth and regular breastfeeding (minimum 10 – 12 times in 24 hours) may take the role of contraception in the first 3 months. However, because the first ovulation after birth may take place before your menstruation will occur, there are high chances for an unprotected intercourse during this period to lead to an unplanned pregnancy. So, if you want to avoid a pregnancy, use a modern and safe contraceptive method. There are special birth control pills specifically designed for fresh moms. They contain only one progesterone derivative and receive one pill a day for 28 days without a break between the sheets. Ask the doctor to prescribe you the right birth control pills.

11. Unsuitable Lubricant

If you mix condoms with the right lubricant, this may destroy the latex, which may lead to an unwanted pregnancy. If you want to combine the two, buy a lubricant based on water and not one based on oil or petroleum.
