ok last night my boyfriend and i had unprotected sex. there was penatration but he pulled it out before he came. i should start my period the 18th. today i had some minor cramps like i usually do before my period. so what really are the chances of becoming pregnate. should i spend the 50$ for a plan b pill? or are the chances slim enough to wait to see if i get my period? i know the pull out method isn't the smartest and i plan on not letting it happen again. so plese help! i dont want to be pregnate...

Always take Plan B. Pulling out does nothing to prevent pregnancy and is not a means of protection. Also the longer you wait to take plan B the less effective it is.

Is plan B really $50? I thought it was at the most $30?

Anyways, if you're worried then take plan b just to be safe.

I definitely wouldn't advise the "pull out method" ever again. However, regardless, the chances of you becoming pregnant or not are extremely slim regardless of whatever method you might use. Chances are you're not pregnant. The "morning after pill" or "Plan B" pill as you call it in the states has a lot of nasty side-effects. You should never use it as an alternative to 'the pill' or condoms.

You can take Plan B but it's highly, highly unlikely you were able to get pregnant at this point in your cycle.

you probably have cramps because you're getting your period. Is your cycle regular? If so, I'd say don't worry about plan b but don't do it again. If your cycle is not regular I'd get it.

Peoople always think the morning after pill is the answer to all your problems when in reality it can also cause more problems than it's worth. Only use it if your chances are high and pregnancy is definitely a no go for you. First, I'd say your chances are slim. of course since your not using any protection, it's still possible, but I read in a book it's between 68-72% effective. I figured it'd be lower than that.

I wouldn't freak out.
