wanderer Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 i really need some advice here, it might be an emergency. my girlfriend and i just recently started having sex (we were both virgins up until a few days ago). she's been on the pill for about a week and a half, but last night she missed her pill (she had it the night before) and she took her pill just now (11pm is when she usually takes it) we just had sex about a half hour ago, and the condom broke. i didn't ejaculate inside her, i pulled out because i felt it snap and i ejaculated a second or two after i pulled out and moved away from her. i need some advice here, what are the chances that she could get pregnant? she missed her pill last night but i didn't ejaculate inside her but ive heard there might be small amounts of sperm in pre-cum, which might have rubbed off when i was still inside her. could she get pregnant from this?? i really need some help, we're panicking here. thanks Link to comment
iamteddybearfeelmecuddle Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 She only started taking her pil 1.5 weeks ago. Didn't she listen to her doctor or read the directions?? It doesn't start working immediately. Didn't either of you know that? Link to comment
wanderer Posted July 23, 2006 Author Share Posted July 23, 2006 she did read the directions and she told me it starts working after a few days. she takes yaz Link to comment
Aurian Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 go get an emergency morning-after pill to be on the safe side. The pill does not always work straight away... Link to comment
perlitalynda80 Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 I agree with Aurian get the emergency pill and keep your fingers crossed and learn from this but dont feel to terrible it sounds like you were trying to be carefull sometimes things do just happen. Good luck keep us posted Link to comment
Tigris Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 I agree she needs the Morning After Pill urgently. Link to comment
wanderer Posted July 23, 2006 Author Share Posted July 23, 2006 the only problem is that planned parenthood is closed tomorrow (sunday) so we'll have to get the prescription on monday, which means she might not get the actual pill until tuesday, and by then it's been three days. we figure we have until 10pm on tuesday, which is 72 hours. i heard somewhere that you can take a few regular birthcontrol pills to equal one morning after pill since the pills are so similar. is this just a myth? why does planned parenthood have to be closed on sundays..

BrokenWingedFaery Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 Call a doctor/gyno, don't fiddle around with pills that you clearly know very little about. Link to comment
southerngirl Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 I have never heard of birth control pills working after only a few days. I have allways thought that they work after one month. That said, condoms break and are not 100 percent effective. So do call a doctor and find out what they suggest. Link to comment
Tigris Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 I agree with southerngirl, call the doctor. Link to comment
piegirl Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 I take Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo and the information insert states that it is effective immediately if taken on the Sunday after your period. I know different pills have different effectivness but she should read the insert and see what it says. Link to comment
LoveAbleChick7 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Where are you from? Do you not have a family planinng? You don't need a perscription to get a M.A.P from there! Link to comment
wanderer Posted July 25, 2006 Author Share Posted July 25, 2006 we went to planned parenthood today and explained what happened. they told us we were fine and didn't need the ec. my gf takes yaz and it says on the insert that she's covered 7 days after the sunday start. we had sex 14 days after she started it and even though she missed the day before she was still covered.
