Q: morning after pill effective?
asked by: A.J. on August 12th, 2008

The condom busted while my boyfriend and I were having sex and he ejaculated in me. I'm not on birth control so we bought the morning after pill. This happened on August 6th and I took the pill on the 8th...well it was after midnight so technically it was the 9th. I should've taken it earlier, but I did take within the 72 hour window so we figured I was safe. However, I used an ovulation calendar to figure out which days I was most fertile during my current cycle. The 6th and 7th were medium/high fertility days and the 8th, my ovulation day, was the highest fertility day. From what I understand, the pill doesn't work if an egg has already been fertilized. I don't know if it just has to be fertilized or fertilized and attached to, or implanted in the uterus. What are the chances that I could be pregnant? I know there's a possibility..in most situations there usually is, but I'm wondering if my chances seem high or I shouldn't worry too much. Also, since I was supposedly ovulating on the 8th, I'm wondering if the pill was even effective? I understand that there's really no way for anyone to provide me with answers that are 100% accurate, but any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance to those who take the time to help.

The possibility of falling pregnant is high but because you took the morning after pill in the 72hrs the chance is very very slim. If you are then thats one super sperm!
