Another "I might be pregnant" thread

[Polina Oksana]

Before I even start, I apologize because I know there are so many threads like this and I always told myself I would never make one, but, now that I'm in the same situation as the hundreds of other people who have posted similar threads, I completely understand where they are coming from.


I've been dating my boyfriend for almost a year, he's in college to be an accountant, and I'm going back to college for nursing so, yes, we are of age, but, like most college kids, we're broke as hell. We had sex Wednesday like normally and we're always super safe about it. We used condoms and even bought the Plan B pill just in case because we were unsure about how safe we were being at the time. So I took the pill and figured I would be ok. However, out of the blue, on that same day a few hours later, we had sex again (I know, we're idiots) and it was completely out of place wild, dirty sex. I think it was so wild it surprised both of us. Of course, like these stories usually go, he came inside me- twice. We did the 'oh s**t' face when we were done (doesn't it always happen when you're done?) and thought maybe we would be ok since I took the pill. He stated that there is no other woman he would be happy to share a child with if I do become pregnant and offered to pay for an abortion if I chose to go that route. I'm going to buy a pregnancy test some time this weekend when I get the funds.

But I just had a talk with my mom yesterday about babies and pregnancy in a joking manner and she got really serious about it and gave me the 'babies are no joke' speech. Of course, I know that, but it got me worried. I was just joking about it, but what if I really did become pregnant from 'that wild day'.

What are my chances of becoming pregnant after taking the Morning After Pill on the same day?

Well, honestly, I think if you took the morning after pill the same day you had wild sex, you're probably ok. It probably wasn't completely processed out of your system by that time, and the hormones linger. Essentially it alters your endometrium making implantation difficult and can stop ovulation- it may also inhibit the sperm and egg from actually connecting. A pregnancy test probably won't be very accurate until you've officially missed a period, so I would wait until you have a period (which I think you probably will) and feel relieved.. or if you miss it, then buy a pregnancy test.

Just a thought, though, if you're worried about getting pregnant and taking the morning after pill often, it may be time to consider a more consistent birth control regimen. It'll be more predictable and effective, and in the long run cost less that buying Plan B over and over again. Planned Parenthood offers care on a sliding scale so you can get contraceptives at a price that will work with you, or you college may have a program to encourage safe sex practices (mine did lol)

i think you are fine.You took plan B soon after. But you probably shoudlnt get anything like a test now because it is WAY too soon for such.

Thank you, everyone. That really helped smile
I'm definitely going to look into more methods of safe sex.
