please help!

My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex twice today. The first time for less than two minutes and the second for a little more than 5. I know for a fact there was pre-***, but that both times he was not close to actual ejaculation. He ejaculated much earlier in the day and urinated many times after, as well as took a shower after. My period is irregular so I am not sure if I am ovulating at this time or not...I am debating whether or not to take the morning after pill due to the possible side effects of it. What are the chances of me getting pregnant? Thanks.

Thanks everyone. I ended up taking the pills, and right now I am experiencing some nausea and stomach pain. I also woke up with a rash on my legs..not sure if this could have anything to do with the pills??

personally, i would do the morning after pil, as id rather be safe than sorry. i have taken it once before, and the only side effect i had was my period was delayed for a couple days, heavier when it came, and my cramps were slightly worse.

The pull-out method is not a reliable form of birth control because sometimes the guy can't pull-out fast enough, sometimes barely gets out, sometimes ejaculates near the vagina, or sometimes lets a little out if he is pulling-out at the last second. Waiting for the last second is never a good idea. Everything should be okay. LIke i said, I once did that the day before ovulation and there had been a recent ejaculation the night before. He had peed since then and showered and everything turned out fine. I worried myself to death, just like you, and my boyfriend would not let me take the pill because it might mess me up. It has different effects on everyone. Just because one person did not experience anything does not mean you won't. It will probably jump start your period so that you will bleed...that is the point of the pill. You did not exactly use the "pull-out method" anyway. The pull-out method refers to people who pull-out at the last minute, not to people who do it for 2 minutes and have to finish later. If the man can pull out and ejaculate without having to stimulate himself...that is not good. If he ejaculates minutes later...you are probably fine. Pre-ejaculate and ejaculate do not come from the same places and only mix together when ejaculation happens. They do not touch each other before. If you are debating it this month, you might as well take it....but don't debate it too much longer because you only have 72 hours.

ANYTIME you have unprotected sex, there is a chance of becoming pregnant.  The "pull out" method is not a reliable form of birthcontrol  So yes, there is a chance you could get pregnant from this encounter.

I took the morning after pill a few years ago and had no problems with it.  It did not even effect my next period.  Of course, there is a small window where the pill will be effective so it is important you take it today if you are going to do so.

I've discussed this with friends and they all have mixed opinions of whether I should take it or not. I'm not worried about it messing up my next period, but I am worried about it making me sick to my stomach. Has anybody taken the morning after pill and had bad side effects? Or has anyone taken it and had none? I'm still debating. Thanks.

You are most likely fine. I too have done that and then realized I was ovulating. Not smart, but I didn't get pregnant. Him peeing and taking a shower should have flushed any remaining sperm out...if there was any at all. I have extreme anxiety as well and freak out every month. We have stopped having sex due to my anxiety. I am on the pill and we use condoms and I still freak. You should get on the pill though. It will help with your irregular cycles and make you worry less. I'm sure you're fine without the pill though. If you have it, you might as well take it, but be warned that it will probably screw up your next period. Just use a condom next time and you'll be fine. But the pill really does make life easier and I suggest getting on it. Good luck.

What types of side effects does it have?  If it is nothing major, then maybe you should take it.  You are young, and since you dont want to get pregnant, that would hopefully help.  If the side effects are too risky then dont do it.  Have you discussed it with family or friends?  Maybe a family member or friend might also be able to help.  I think it is probably eaiser talking to someone who knows you and what type of situation you are in.  I hope everything works out.

Unfortunately, I think theres a possibility I may have been at my time of ovulation. I bought the pill and have been debating for hours whether or not to take it. I have terrible anxiety also, which is why I don't want to take it...But it's also why I want to take it (scared of getting pregnant). I sure hope God doesn't think I'm meant to get pregnant yet...seeing as I'm only 18 =(

There is a very small chance that you could get pregnant.  I know I had LOTS of unprotected sex, and he never ejaculated inside me, and I never got pregnant.  I know there was precum, but I still didnt get pregnant.  It just depends on your body.  As for taking the pill, I wouldnt, but that is just my opinion.  Do what you think is right, and best for your body.  I bad anxiety, that is why I wouldnt take it, but if you have taken it before, and you know how it works, then go for it.  But like I said already, you have a very small chance of getting pregnant that way.  It has happened to people, but not often.  Just remember one thing, God makes all of your bodies decisions, so if you are meant to get pregnant, you will, and if you arent meant to, you wont.  Good Luck.
