Q: Morning After Pill Question

Hi

quck question before I go into my story

what does the morning after pill actually do...?
I am 20 years old
here is my story... My boyfriend ejaculated in me and the next night I took the morning after pill.. Did not feel all to well but got through it and there was some bleeding..

2 days later we had sex and he ejaculated inside me again..... The question I have is this.. Would I become pregnant or were my eggs destroyed when I took the after pill... Please let me know as I am not ready for a baby and really dont want to go through an abortion...

I am not on the contraceptive pill

thanks for your help and any advise would be appreciated

Ok. First, you say that you're not ready for a baby or to have to go through an abortion. Then, you say that you're not on any birth control.

And... You let your boyfriend ejaculate in you? Why am I lost? Not only did you take the morning after pill after a slip up, but then you did it again? You need to seriously consider getting on a regular form of birth control.

Now, in answer to your question, the morning after pill is supposed to prevent the egg from implanting, therefore, preventing pregnancy. But you have to understand that the morning after pill is not 100% effective!!! (just ask me, I know) i've never heard of bleeding after taking the morning after pill, I may have to research that online. I could be mistaken.

Has it been long enough for you to take an hpt? I'd say about 3 weeks or so and a first response will do the trick. If you're questioning anything, go to the doctor and have a blood test for a truly accurate answer. Please be more careful and don't rely on something that you have absolutely no idea whether it will work or not.

why would a person not bleed, egg implants you get no period for 9 months. Egg does not implant; any given month, and you get your period.

I understand what you are saying, if you got pregnant on your ovulation, it would still be 2 weeks before your period is due. The morning after pill has to be used within 72 hours, so you still should not bleed for 1 week 4 days, when period is due. Right?

Morning After Pill Cont
Hi

thanks for the replies

i will be going on the pill once this is all sorted and over... Hope my period comes

finer details..

Do you think that when I took the after pill on tuesday that it would have covered me for the sex I had on the thursday?

I am not sure if I should wait and see if my period starts this friday.. If it does not then I will be in trouble... Also, is it maybe worth me taking the morning after pill again this sunday evening as bythen the 72 hours from thursdays sex would be close...

Any feedback or advise would be great... Thanks x
