Birth control worries

advgal6 · 11-24-2008, 03:25 AM

It's one of those night where I feel paranoid. So I appreciate any reassurance and apologize if this post has been made 500 times before (I searched the boards first, couldn't find anything).

Here's the scenario:
1. Had sex Friday night. No condom, but he did not finish inside me. Remembered my pill on time.
2. Saturday - No sex. Remembered my pill on time.
3. Today - No sex. Took pill 3 hours later than normal.
4. I feel a little crampy, like I'm ovulating.

Sorry boys for the gross detail.

That's the sitch. Is 3 hours late a big deal? How worried should I be?
Thanks!

i think at your age you should use a condom and the pill

You should be fine.

But I agree with kuiks.

One day, taken three hours late, is not a big deal. I wouldn't worry.

Thats the risk you run by relying on the pill. Sperm can live upto 7 days in your body, so you must remember pills on time for several days after.

With that being said, a three hour delay one day, and then back on track for the remaining wouldn't make me worry.

If you feel paranoia over this, it means you should wear a condom. This should be the golden rule for everyone: If you're afraid to get pregnant, use two forms of contraceptives without fail!
