yes, we consulted with a second doctor who said that the bleeding was just a side effect and we had nothing to worry about. And that the test kit was overkill haha...it does put our minds at ease though, as does your comments. Thank you :) we certainly won't be messing around like that anymore in the near future
Yes, that sounds like overkill, especially since a pregnancy test won't register until at the very minimum the week before a missed period. Some places will try to give you a pregnancy test when you come in for a stubbed toe (or at least that was the joke at a women's college some of my friends were at). I'm betting the bleeding is from the effects of the pill, since it screws around with your hormone levels.
thank you for the comments. she went to see a doctor due to bleeding 6 days post-pill, and described the encounter as non-penetrative sex. probably due to the combination of morning after pill+non-penetrative sex in her description, the doctor gave her a pregnancy test kit and it freaked us out >< do u think that the test kit is an overkill?
That was not risky exposure. Taking the morning after pill in that situation probably had far more risk than benefit. The concentration of sperm in pre-ejaculate ranges from none to very little, sperm don't like air, and they can't crawl in if they get on the outside. Even with penetration without ejaculation, the rates of pregnancy are surprisingly low. It's not something I'd rely on for pregnancy prevention, but it gives you perspective on the issue.
If you guys are that worried about pregnancy, you have a few options. One is to use a condom for any sexual contact that gets you hard, including stimulation with hands. Another is for her to go on some sort of birth control, such as the pill, patch, nuvaring, or injection.
