Yes, there is sperm in the pre-ejaculate fluid, which is released during sex. It doesn't matter whether he finishes inside of you or is only in for a few seconds, sperm can be released.

After a full cycle, yes, it's working.

No. If you have been taking the pill correctly, then you are not pregnant. The pill prevents pregnancy by preventing ovulation (the release of an egg). Therefore, you are protected.

This is a common side effect. It should clear up after three or four cycles. If it continues after that or becomes really bothersome, call your doctor to see about switching pills.

>How do I know my pill is working?

If you are taking it correctly, about the same time every day (within a few hours), then it is working. There aren't any special symptoms that tell you whether it's working or not.

Which side effects do you have? Read the patient information sheet that came with your pills, and it should tell you which side effects are harmless and which ones might be dangerous. Wait a couple of months and they'll probably get better. If they're really a problem, talk to you doctor. If you take your pill in the morning and you get nausea, it might help to have breakfast first or take it at night instead (so you sleep through the nausea).

> And can I still have sex
>while all these side effects are going on?

Yup. The pill is still effective, even if you have a little bloating or spotting or nausea, etc.
