    Default Eek! Emergency contraceptive

    Ok Ladies,

    Did a search on this but didn't find the answer to my question . Here it goes:

    I had unprotected sex during the time when I am ovulating (i know, i know! He promised to pull out, and didn't-fucker). Anyways, I immediately went to the store and got the morning after pill (plan b) and took as directed. I am three days late for my period.

    Has anyone taken this pill around the same time like I did? Did you get pregnant?Did you get a period? Late? etc???

    Im wondering how effective it is DURING ovulation.....and how long does ovulation last?? Sorry about all the questions, I'm just freaking and ready to go get a test....

    Oh and I forgot...I have been cramping like I'm on my period....but no blood yet!!! ARGH!!!!!!
    I'd grab my trumpet and I'd do a stripper sound, like the old Louis Armstrong, real raspy. And the people would go nuts! Then I knew that the sexual, sensual, guttural sound, that throbbing sound, is where it's at.

    Your period might be delayed through stress/panic so if u can try to calm down a bit and it will probably come.

    Which morning after pill did you take?

    These are the two types of morning after pill available in Australia (Im not sure if its the same for you)

    # The "progesterone only method".
    Two Postinor-2™ pills are taken, which is similar to taking a large quantity of the mini-pill.
    # The combined pill or Yuzpe method, containing oestrogen and progestogen.
    This has been available for decades and is a high dose of "the (combined) pill". It is not used very often now that Postinor-2™ is available as the Yuzpe method tends to make women nauseous and vomiting can occur.

    The "progesterone only method".
    You took it within the first 72 hours after unprotected sex. If taken during this time it is 89% effective.

    You will need to still take a pregnancy test though.

    How does it work?

    * By delaying/preventing ovulation
    * By preventing a fertilised egg from implanting in the uterine wall
    * By interrupting the production of hormones needed for pregnancy to continue.

    I just wanted to pop in here, as everytime I hear the "pull out method", I shake my head.

    You can STILL get pregnant ever if you use the pull out method and he pulls out when he's supposed to! The pre-cum that gets left behind ( and it WILL) is enough to get you pregnant!

    I have taken the emergency pill twice now(first time i was drunk and didnt think about protection, the second time which was last weekend the condom split)
    I have found that i about a week to the day of takin the pill i bleed for a couple of days, no idea why. But when i am due on i am always a a little late and my periods are a bit messed up for a couple of months. This is just how my body works, the first time i was so scared i was late and with me bleedin a week after i took the pill i took a test and it was negative so i dunno, its weird lol

    I took it last week (mon), should have started my period by then (had unprotected sex sat night) anyway, I got my period last night, almost 7 days late. if you read the insert, this is the norm.

    Okay, I don't want to sound like a mother(but I will)....

    What in the hell were you thinking?!?!? Having unprotected sex with a guy...especially when your ovulating...is like playing Russian Roulett! You are asking for a disaster and its irresponsible. Lash back all you want, but if you end up pregnant or with an STD, its your own fault.

    Taking the Plan B pill is kind of like taking a bunch of birth control pills. It's a heavier dose of hormones to intentionally mess up your cycle (either by delaying ovulation or keeping the egg from sticking to your uterus). So if you are a couple days late, have heavier or lighter bleeding, really any sort of abnormal period, you are probably ok. You might even be a little screwy for the next few cycles.

    Don't worry.

    I'm sure you are feeling like crap enough about your situation already and you don't need loads of people bitching at you. I hope you learned your lesson, and I hope everything works out okay for you. Please let us know if everything works out.

    Especially when no one knows the situation. For all we know she could be in a committed long term relationship, both parties get tested regularly for STIs...
    I think it's quite responsible of her to go get Plan B ASAP, like she did. So many girls are afraid or ashamed to go get it.

    ^^ I think the "mothering" came more from the "he promised to pull out and didn't" part.

    rule 1. NEVER rely on or trust a man for birth control. Its ALWAYS a womans responsibility. Yeah, it sucks, it isnt fair, it takes 2 to tango, but it's your body, you can only trust yourself to take care of it.

    So heres my dumb ass story so you feel better. I went out with a guy, first time. I got really drunk. Went home with him. My first and last one night stand. No protection.
    I whisper to him abotu half way through, "im not on anythign, u gotta pull out." He says..whaa? I already came. twice.

    Ok, aside from the fact that he was a freak that came withotu me knowing 2 times....

    I did the math, and was ovulating. Fuck. Couldnt find plan b anywhere. To many damn catholic hospitals.

    2 agonizing weeks waiting for my period, taking preg. tests every day....

    I got lucky that time. I learned my lesson.

    Its fascinating how different peoples bodies work.
    I've had to take it twice due to slip-off and it breaking...

    I always get my period within a week of taking it, regardless of whether I just got off my period or not.

    Plan B because less effective the more times you take it, from what I've been told by my doctor.

    yeah, it's true that she should know better than to think pulling out is her best option.

    but saying she deserves whatever she gets now? i'd say that's a little uncalled for. she didn't ask to be judged, she asked a specific question.

    LOL! That's why I put the "(but I will), and yes I was refering to the whole "pulling out" bit. I have had to use the Morning After Pill once, and that was when the condom broke. He and I were in the relationship long enough to know we were both clean, but we didn't want to run the risk of getting pregnant.

    Also I dodn't mean to imply she deserves what she gets, but we have to be responsible for the choices we make.

    Just wanna share exactly how much pulling out doesn't work:

    90% of the semen released during sex is released in the pre-cum.

    Where was it said she deserved what she got??? I didn't see that anywhere....

    EDIT:

    Ok, ok, I see where you got that from. Sinder said "Lash back all you want, but if you end up pregnant or with an STD, its your own fault."

    Now I think that's a bit different than being totally rude and saying "You get what you deserve you stupid bitch!" It may have been a little harsh on Sinder's end, but I think she was trying to get the point across as bright as possible in a way. She's right, if we get pregnant or and STD/I because we weren't practising safe sex, we have no one to blame but ourselves.

    SHe was harsh yes, but if I was in the OP's position, it would wake me up fast!

    My cycle always gets a little nutty when I take Plan B. I also get really bad period cramps when I take it. You'll be fine, don't panic! Remeber, the morning after pill is basically a HUGE dose of birth control; you're hormones of course are going to get a little wacky.

    ^^ that's what I thought...

    "There have been no large-scale studies of sperm in pre-ejaculate, but some smaller-scale studies suggest that any sperm present may be ineffectual at causing pregnancy.[1][2] This may account for the surprisingly low pregnancy rate (approximately 4% per year) among couples that practice perfect use of coitus interruptus."
