i realise dis is ridiculously foolish of me but i just have to ask....

i had unprotected sex on august 10th. i kno morning after pills are recommended to be taken within 72 hours of having sex, so if I decide to take them now (which is like, what, one week after the incident...) is there even a point? do these pills only work if you take it within the 72 hours? any advice on dis matter is much appreciated!

No question is too ridiculous

It is too late to take the pills. The maximum is 5 days, which is unlicensed use (the pill is only licensed for 72 hours).

However, you could consider another method which is IUCD (Intra-uterine contraceptive device). It can also be used as emergency contraception. Maximum time is 5 days AFTER your supposedly ovulation day (not 3 days AFTER sexual intercourse for the pill). Ask your doctor about this as you may still be in time to use it. However, your menses need to be regular and it is preferable to be used by those who had childbirth before.

So sorry to be disturbing here =( but i've got questions i need to clear up.
i've unprotected sex for the first time with my girlfriend on the 24th of september (yesterday) and i did not came inside her! but i'm worried the pre-cum is there.

her last period was around 6th-9th sept which means 24th is about her ovulation date?

so she took postinor-2 after about 20hours of the incident. now i'm not sure whether it works : (

she hasn't experience any side effects yet so she's worried it does not work.

i'm so sorry to be a nuisance here but i really need help on this issue.

how do we know if it is effective on prevention now? what can i do now =(? wait?

What should i do?? =( thanks in advance to anybody who is willing to help out. i know i did something wrong! sorry!

p/s - she had the 2nd tablet after 12hours. what can i do more to be 100% sure she's not pregnant?

ur safe, dun worry

Not all who took the pill will have side effect. It is good that she doesnt experience any side effects.

Wait for her next period then u'll be 100% relieved

Gosh, poor guy. You must be freaking out by now. Well I have been through the same thing before. Lesson is, do not have unprotected sex. Not worth it, i have so many friends who end up getting married at a very young age because of 3 min satisfaction.

Cheers,
AR.

yeah, when ur girl gets her period,
u will be like
'omg im so relieved!'
heheh
