thank you so much.. i am a little relieved..
A home pregnancy test would certainly be reliable three weeks after the sexual activity in question. An early-results home test might be reliable two weeks after the event.
If your period arrives, it suggests strongly that you are not pregnant, even if it comes a couple of days earlier or later than normal (which, after the emergency contraception, would hardly be surprising).
Take care.
Thanks a ton. Just one last question, if my periods occur at the normal time or are delayed by not more than 2 or 3 days or if they occur 2-3 days in advance, is it a sign that i am not pregnant? When should i go for a test, that is how long after my period is due?
(expecting my periods to be between 18th and 21st of this month, the last was on July 21st)
Thank you very much for the advice. Next time i will see to that i have safe sex.
1. Where are you in your cycle? You ovulate only once in the month, and the egg only is viable for about 24 hours. If you happened to hit that time window, then it is possible that the sperm on his penis got to your vaginal secretions, but it is also possible that it did not. If you took the morning-after pill in the correct time frame according to its instructions, you should not get pregnant.
2. Look at the instructions from the pill you took, to see what they say about when your next period might come. Or go online and look at their website and look for that information, either in the main text or in FAQ's.
3. Symptoms don't mean much when it is the first weeks of pregnancy, you could have all or none and it wouldn't relate much to really being pregnant. The only way to know is to take a pregnancy test on about the 16th of August if your period has not come. If it is negative and the period still doesn't come, test again a week later. The test should be reliable by then, three weeks after the sexual activity.
4. There is nothing to do by yourself so as not to have a baby. (Except, of course, practice safe sex.) Home attempts to stop a pregnancy are very dangerous. No matter how you feel about abortion, at least a medical abortion is not going to kill you or give you an infection that ends your fertility, which home tries can do. But it really does not sound like you are going to reach question 4 in any case.
Not wanting to have a medical abortion or a baby is understandable, but if you are so scared of it, why aren't you scared of spending the night with your boyfriend with no protection and having a ton of sexual activity in the night and morning? Sometimes a person doesn't have the choice to suddenly get directive about what they do and don't want, if they didn't draw a different line earlier.
Anyway, like I said, I don't think you are pregnant, the morning-after pill probably worked if the penis-brushing-on-the-vagina thing did get you pregnant. So don't stress over question #4.
