Birth control doesn't kill sperm. Chances are if you started taking it the day after your period ended you're okay but they recommend using other contraceptives for the first month.

What happens to ejaculated sperm when on birth control and on your period?

When on birth control, the combined pill usually prevents ovulation, so there is no egg for the sperm to fertilize. If you are also on your period, the uterine lining is shedding, making it less likely for sperm to survive and fertilize an egg. So in most cases, ejaculated sperm would not result in pregnancy during this time.


What impact does the hormone cycle on birth control have on a woman's reproductive system?

What do birth control pills do and how do they work to prevent pregnancy?

Birth control pills contain hormones that prevent ovulation, the release of an egg from the ovary. They also thicken cervical mucus, making it harder for sperm to reach the egg. Additionally, birth control pills can thin the lining of the uterus, making it difficult for a fertilized egg to implant. These actions work together to prevent pregnancy.

How long after you think you may be pregonant do you have to start taking birth control to get rid of the sperm or baby?

Taking birth control if you are already pregnant or it's been days/weeks since you had unprotected sex, will not kill sperm or baby. It WILL however potentially cause permanent birth defects in an unborn child you may be carrying. Birth control is to prevent you from ovulating (releasing an egg) if you were not taking it and got pregnant- starting to take it won't kill sperm that will have already died off or an egg that has already been fertilized. Birth control is for PREVENTING pregnancy, not terminating and EXISTING one.


What happens to sperm when you are on birth control?

Sperm is not affected by hormonal birth control; it does the same thing it does if you're not on birth control, except that there's some decrease in how much sperm can get into the uterus (due to thickening of the cervical mucus). Hormonal birth control affects the egg.


Is it possible to get pregnant if taking birth control daily around the same time every night if you were touched in the vagina with sperm on it that is white and appears in a clumpy state?

No. Sperm has nothing to do if it touches your vagina. As the pill will not let the sperm enter the fallopian tube (where your "eggs" are waiting to be fertilised). So, don't worry. It is safe to have sex if you're taking birth control pills.

What if you stop taking birth control while sperm is still in you?

If you stop you'll probably end up pregnant. Yes sperm is still in you. Birth control controls the hormones in your body so the birth control is already doing it's job. By the time your body absorbs the sperm or disperses it, ( a couple of days), the birth control hormones are still present so it is unlikely you would get pregnant at this time. But after this, you won't be protected against pregnancy and your chances of becoming pregnant increase every day after that. In other words, it takes a few days for the birth control to stop working even after stopping the birth control.
