Contraception & emergency pill?


Hi,

I am on the pill and had unprotected sex on Sunday (4 days ago). i am feeling some weird pain under the stomach the last days and i feel a bit sick so i am worried that i might be pregant.

The pill usage: i started using it 3 months ago, i didnt have a break the first month and i had only 4 days break the second month. i had 8 full days of pills before sunday that i had unprotected sex i took all pills but some days at irregular times but not more than 3 hours difference than the standard time.

my query is: what are the possibilities that i am preganant? if it is likely shall i take the morning after pill tomorrow( i read that the morning after pill is effect up to 5 days after intercourse) just in case that i might be pregnant?

thank you for your heplp !!

Morning after pill is more effective the sooner you take it, but it can only be taken within 72hours of having unprotected sex (3days) which means that you are too late to take it.

If you don't ever miss any pills, then you should be fine - this is what the pill is for afterall. It is not 100% effective, but around 98%.

If you are worried, then visit your GP for some advice, but there's nothing they can really do just now until you know if you have missed a period.

Good luck x

Very unlikely you are pregnant. The morning after pill is only effective for 72 hours. You would not feel sick yet if you were pregnant, morning sickness does not arrive that quickly.

Take a test in a few weeks if you are woried. You probably feel sick because you have worried yourself. Stop worrying.

as said before..morning sickness does not come that early, more liek a few weeks after.
though i suppose you cant trust the pill 100%...(well i wouldnt)
but if your realy worried take the morning after anyways.
and next time use a condom aswell so that its unlikely ull get pregnant, it also helps with STDS and all that.

gud luck xx
