Hello. Im a very paranoid boyfriend..And I want to feel better so maybe you guys can help. My girlfriend is on birth control and we usually use a condom. She was on her placebos last week and we had sex saturday night, the last day of her placebos, but we didnt use a condom and I came inside of her. The next morning she took an ecp and her regular birth control pill because she started her regular pills that morning.

What worries me is, why did she take the ecp. She wont tell me except that she says im so paranoid that she did it for me so I wouldnt worry. I asked her if its because she missed a pill and she said no.

So even if she missed a pill, what are the chances of her being pregnant since she took the ecp just a few hours after we had sex? She just finished her period that afternoon before we had sex, and now today she said she bled a little more and that really worries me.

You are fully prtoected from pregnancy during the placebo week, there is absolutely no reason to need ecp. She probably did do it to make you feel better. No matter whta happens in the furture though, she does have options. Just because an accidental pregnancy occurs does not mean that she must have a baby.

I guarantee she did it to calm your nerves. Me and my boyfriend have been having unprotected sex for a few months now ( I think like 3 months) and I have never had a problem of having a late period, but yet he worries every month around that time and I try to tell him that him worrying about it worries me and may make my period later because of stress but he just cant help it. I fully trust my pill but have found myself taking a pregnancy test to calm his nerves not mine.
