Well, it's been a while since my girlfriend and I had sex and that little mishap with the broken condom happened. I have calmed down a lot since then. You guys have all been very helpful. If it wasn't for this forum I wouln't have known what to do. I did go to the planned parenthood in Omaha, NE and getting the ECP was no problem. It was the plan b thing that she had to take two of 12 hours apart (I think all of them are like that I guess, but I wouldn't know). That calmed me down a lot. Plus I found out that it was supposed to reduce the risk of pregnancy after sex by 89%, but she took it like 24 hours after we had sex. I mean I know we had 72 hours, but is it more effective earlier? Also, she had been on the pill for 5 days when we had sex and she started taking it (tri-sprintec) the first day of her new cycle. I know the BC packet thing says to not engage in sexual activity that may lead to pregnancy for a week, but since she felt the symptoms earlier on does that mean that it would have had any effect at all on reduction of pregnancy even though it had only been 5 days or does it need a full week to work no questions asked? She figured that the drug is different for everyone and it depends on the body type in whether or not one feels the symptoms and the drug starts to work and that a week was just easier to remember.....I don't know. I'm a guy. I don't know enough about all this. I am so worried....as I should, though others say I shouldn't be since we've used (attempted to use) 3 different types of BC protection. I never rely on drugs...should I? She's got 6 days till her period, so I'm praying she doesn't miss it. Earlier this week she said she was PMSing and that she always PMSes that time before her period...that sounds good, but is it? Is that a safe sign from pregnancy or will I not know until she gets a test? Oh, by the way......I'M REALLY WORRIED!!!!! I just want to know how successful these things are. Some say I have nothing to worry about especially since I don't even know if I came and got that much sperm in her....but still...ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN!!! And when the world hates me, I'm pretty sure my gf could get pregnant as well. Blah...this sucks. Please help ease my mind. I need to know these things.
Thank You So Much
