    Default I screwed up, advice

    So, my guy came over last night, and we ended up having sex without a condom. No biggie, I'm on the pill...except I've been taking antibiotics for 3 or 4 days (I stopped using them 24 hours before this happened) and I know antibiotics can interfere with the pill's effectiveness (I feel like such an idiot, I just completely forgot). So, this morning (he left around 4am...I woke up at 10am) I took 4 of my pill (Yasmin..I had read that if you take 3 or 4, its the same as the morning after pill).

    I just feel so stupid/panicky. What are the chances I'll be pregnant from this?

    Ugh. I hope youre right...I just read that Yasmin cant be used as the morning after pill, because it isnt a combination pill

    i don't see why she would need to get tested if this is in fact her boyfriend she had unprotected sex with... i would hope that she is sleeping with him and him only.... i think you just need to get the morning after pill to be on the safe side of things.... good luck to you..

    Erm...this is my boyfriend...before we ever started having sex, we both got tested...but thanks for the lecture anyway...

    As I said...I take my pill religiously, so its not like I'm an irresponsible slut who has random sex then cries about it later...I'm on the pill, I was on antibiotics a few days ago, I forgot in the midst to use a backup method as well.


    So sorry Crow I so irresponsible...ya know, having sex with only one person,w ho's also commited, and using the pill. Reckless me.

    The morning after pill works for 72 hours after, so I'd say try and get it right away. You can get it without of prescription at most Planned Parenthoods, just walk in and fill out some info on yourself. They shouldn't make you feel bad or lecture you (since you're in a monogamous relationship and have both been tested); if somebody does, please let their supervisor know, as that's not really appropriate.
    Also, make sure to tell them about taking the four Yasmin pills as soon as you realized -- it won't do you any harm, but they may have better information about what that does for your chances of getting pregnant.

    :: hugs :: Please, don't feel bad about it! We all make mistakes, and forgetting about the whole "Pill + antibiotics = no pill protection" is totally forgiveable.
    See if you can get a second set of Plan B pills to keep in your medicine cabinet "just in case." They're good for a year, and if you don't end up needing them anytime within that year, you're only out $12 or $15 -- and that's a very small price to pay for the peace of mind of knowing they're there should you need them.

    And to quote a friend of mine who works at Planned Parenthood, "Shit happens. That's why this is legal."
    (still, I'm really wanting the religious right to get their heads out of their butts and let us start selling the morning after pill at drugstores without a prescription.)

    Don't sweat it hon. I am sure you will be fine. Sure there is always a chance, but it's slim. My fiance and I have sex without condoms and trust me, I am ALWAYS screwing up my pills...and I am not pregnat...so far!LOL! What I am trying to say is, if it happens, it happens. What if you were having sex and your condem broke? Just wait a couple of weeks and take a home prego test to ease your mind. I know girls who have faithfully taken thier pill, and STILL wound up pregnat.

    Yasmin can't be used for the morning after pill. However, the morning after pill won't work either if you're on antibiotics. The morning after pill is the same hormones as your birth control pill (that's why you took the extra Yasmin, right?). The antibiotics interfere with the absorption of those hormones, so if it'll interfere with your birth control pill, then it would interfere with the morning after pill as well.

    So there's not really much you can do except cross your fingers and pray hard.

    Good luck.

    If you took the morning after pill now you should be ok. I've taken it twice and have not been pregnant either time. Good luck!!!!

    You should be fine! Remember, there's only a chance (not a sure thing) that you ovulated when you were on antibioutics, and if you did, the morning after pill should keep the egg from implanting and making you pregnant. Don't sweat it too much.
