Hi there, Yes, it is totally possible for you to bcome pregnant during intercourse even if the male does not ejaculate. Pre-ejaculatory fluid leaks from the penis when men are aroused, and during sex. This contains semen and can get you pregnant. I don't think that your unprotected sex had anything to do with lighter periods. If you are bleeding before your free week of pills, and you've been on the same kind of birth control for 6+ months, you should see your doctor and talk to her about another birth control pill. Also, you said that you "always use condoms". Yet you had unprotected sex. So you don't always use them! Good for you for being in birth control and using condoms (most of the time) See your doc about your periods! Take care, Maggie
