You can get pregnant if you have sex during your period and you don’t use contraception or a condom. Having unprotected sex at any time of the month can lead to pregnancy.
Condoms can be damaged by contact with any oil-based products like lipstick, suntan lotion, moisturiser and baby oil. If you want to use lubrication make sure it is water-based (available from pharmacies).
You can get pregnant if you have sex standing up – in fact whatever position you are in when having sex. There’s no such thing as a “safe” position if you’re not using a condom or another form of contraception, and there are no “safe” places either, including the bath or shower.
A boy can get a girl pregnant the first time he or she has sex. It only takes one sperm to meet an egg, and this can happen from one instance of unprotected sex.

Extroverts recharge and get their energy from spending time with people, while introverts recharge and get their energy from spending time alone.
The Pill does not make you infertile. As with all forms of contraception, your normal fertility levels return after you stop taking the contraceptive pill.
There is no reason to take a break from the contraceptive pill – it does not build up in your body and will not affect your fertility permanently.
Instead of buying Christmas cards, consider donating the same money to charity and tell your friends what you’ve done. This could have a real impact on people who truly need it.
