bruind Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 i've been in a kind rebellious mode this past few months... in the span of two months, i lost my virginity, and he's not even my boyfriend. just met him a few weeks before that. i admit regretting it to the wrong guy. though i felt like im still intact... he's so small... then there's guy number two. thought we had somethin going on. i did it again, twice. hurts still... after that, we had a falling off.. here comes guy number 3. my exact opposite. he doesnt exist in my too uncomplicated life, and i dont exist either in his complicated one. i agreed to spend the night with him. no strings attached. he hasnt had sex for more than a year, while i wanted to explore things. so we hit it off... however, what worries me right now is that he came inside me. i took 3 500mg of aspirin dissolved in a glass of sprite, cause my friends say its quite effective in flushing out the sperms... i dont really know if its really effective. anyway, can anyone tell me some other measures i should take to prevent something unexpected? as early as now. its been like 3 days after it happened...

melrich Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Nothing you can do 3 days after except wait and see if you are pregnant. Get a home testing kit, follow the instructions, they are very accurate. Link to comment
Hope75 Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Yes, the morning after pill needs to be taken within 72 hours of possible conception. Aspirin is not going to do anything. Next time, use protection. It's not just pregnancy you should be worried about. Link to comment
bruind Posted June 16, 2005 Author Share Posted June 16, 2005 it happened june12, around 2am. can i still take the pill?does it still cover the 72-hour period? and can u give me uhmm.. like a specific brand? Link to comment
melrich Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 You should visit your local pharmacist and ask their advice. Link to comment
Hope75 Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Or call a local planned parenthood or healthquarters reproductive health clinic and talk to a clinician. 72 hours would have been at 2 am this morning (Wed) Link to comment
Kaia Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 link removed "The medication can be taken immediately after unprotected intercourse, or at any time up to about 72 hours later. Some studies indicate that it is effective even later. However, its efficacy seems to be reduced as time passes, so it is important that, if it is going to be taken, that it be taken quickly.

itry Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 next time be careful please. too many diseases out there.... i work in a hospital....have u ever seen what full blown AIDS is like....its not very uplifting at all. Link to comment
bruind Posted June 17, 2005 Author Share Posted June 17, 2005 getting the disease is out of the story, so there's no need to preach on that. just the avoiding pregnancy thing. Link to comment
Hope75 Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 getting the disease is out of the story, so there's no need to preach on that. just the avoiding pregnancy thing. Why is getting a disease out of the story? Any time you have sex there is a risk of contracting an STD. Link to comment
RayKay Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 What do you mean disease is not a concern? You cannot tell who has or does not have something just by looking, and sometimes you cannot trust them entirely to disclose their pasts. Did you know that HPV (causes genital warts and increases risk of cervical cancer depending on strain) is carried by something like 60% of women, yet 90% do not KNOW! They pass it on to men, who pass it on to more women. A similar amount of people do not know they have gonnorhea, or chlamydia - all which can lead to infertility and other complications, but not even have symptoms... Link to comment
