oic.....if that's the case means she also cannot do pregnancy test?lllolllll if fo it also not accurate?because her period is not stable haha....

btw after sex need to wait 2 weeks only can do pregnancy test? even is protected sex with condom?? I tot only unprotected sex nit to wait 2 weeks??


Added on May 15, 2011, 9:09 pmDamn what is this web site so scary say can detect pregnancy test online lolll

http://www.thepregnancytester.com/

Err. I don't really get it. Haha.
Of course she can do a pregnancy test, just that the results might not be accurate only. smile.gif

Even if her period cycle is not stable, she can still get pregnant, just that certain contraception, such as the avoiding fertile period, is not very useful.

You can definitely do the pregnancy test before 2 weeks after sex, but will it be accurate? I would stick to at least 1.5 weeks minimum.
Is there a difference for sex with condom on or without condom on? If you're pregnant means you're pregnant. Doesn't matter if the condom is on or not. Pregnancy test kits does not care whether you had used a condom or not. There's no difference. Condom is 99% effective (as claimed) and unless it leaked or had a tear, high chance that one won't get pregnant.

i dont know if her breast is growing bigger, but she says its swollen at the nipples and its more "tender".
no morning sickness, just bloated stomach and experiencing mood swings.

These are her common pms symptom but her period just ended around 27th of april, so she is kinda afraid she might get  pregnant.

she just keep feeling like the period is coming but it isnt and it shouldnt..

is this normal?
*
I see. The swollen nipples and tenderness may be a sign of pregnancy. But you said she did a few pregnancy test and it came out negative right?
Is her menstrual cycle usually stable?

Consuming emergency contraceptive pills will mess up our hormone and it might take a while before she can get back her usual menstrual cycle. Her hormones might be causing these changes in her body. If pregnancy test kits are still showing negative now, maybe she might want to go to a doctor to get a blood test done. smile.gif Blood test are more accurate than urine test, and can be done around one week after conception.

Ic....Someone suggest to my friend to take blood test. Is it blood test can do anytime even after sex? No need to wait after 2 weeks like the pregnancy test? Blood test would be more accurate than pregnancy test, right?

Thanks.
*
Blood test can detect HCG level around earliest 7 days after intercourse.
Yes, blood test is more accurate than pregnancy test.

For more info, please google ya. smile.gif

O thanks! by the way is it expensive for the blood test? Around how much?It can be done in all clinic?? Just ask them that want to do the blood test for HCG ya?

Thanks!
*
Honestly not sure about that.
Shouldn't be very expensive though. Try asking at a clinic and see. If not, then most likely have to see a gynae for it.

yea!
and you got most of it right.
she got emotional.
she can eat only chips all day
and she drinks 3 cup of coffee a day lately.

lol

then today after the blood test, her breast became normal and all, she says "no la, i know  i am not pregnant"
-__________-

she has OCD. .
she can have nightmare at night about her being pregnant. ><
*
Lol. That explains a lot.
I believe what we eat will affect our body a lot. Junk food and chips isn't that healthy. And she having OCD might contribute to more stress, especially worrying about the pregnancy. Which will just lead to late unstable period somehow. Hopes she has everything under control now. biggrin.gif

well the result came out and her HCG level is less than 2. LOL.

so no, she is not pregnant.
hence, ECP can ruin your cycle.

agree with what black_howling said.
ECP must and should always be the last resort.
*
Yes, ECP is emergency for a reason. It will mess up our hormones and cycle. That's true. smile.gif

girls i sort of need help here ..
its does take a lot of sperm to reach ovari right .. so a little insertion or mayb a little wetness wont get my gf pregnant right ..
coz she is worried now that her period was over a week ago
*
Yes it does take a lot of sperm to reach the egg. But you won't know how strong your sperm is, unless you have done a test.

Hence, we can't really say 'a little insertion or maybe a little wetness' (I don't really get it btw) will not make her pregnant. It is possible that she will get pregnant.

Her period is late for over a week? This is something you should really be worried about if you had ejaculated inside her without a condom on.
Is she under any stress? Has she fell ill in the past week? Is her period cycle irregular?
When did you have this particular intercourse with her? Was she fertile? What exactly happen? Is this her first time having sex?

And also, taking morning after pills more than 5 days after intercourse will not be effective. In fact, it will affect the developing embryo.

hey guys.. wanna ask, is it common that there would be very light bleeding after taking the pill?? i wouldnt say exactly its period since too little to be counted so.. its like seeing blood stain on pantyliner, few mm width and few mm long..

the pill is taken after 1 week period ends.. its been 2 weeks after taken the pill, no period yet.. normal cycle of period suppose to be in 1 week time.. the pill taken within 24 hours..

did not ejaculate inside as had coitus for bout 10 sec only and pull out due to fear.. taken the pill as precaution.. so by statistic, shouldn't be pregnant right? since the chances of precum to get pregnant is already so small, plus ECP to reduce the chance.. i read that during implantation, there would be small spots of blood, is it true? and how long does the blood will continue to flow?
*
To answer your questions:

Yes, there might be bleeding after taking the pill. (Does not apply to everyone)

Yes, there is a high change you won't get pregnant if you add up "not ejaculating inside" and "consuming ECP". However, she might be on her fertile period since you say sex was done 1 week after period end, high chance fertile period. So if the sperm is strong, plus she fertile, plus if you had sperm in precum (which is highly unlikely if you had peed before sex, unless you had a previous ejaculation before this), then there is a slight chance of being pregnant.

Yes, during implantation, some women experience slight bleeding. This is call Implantation Bleeding, google it. (Again, does not apply to everyone)
Usually implantation bleeding is very little, just light spotting only. However, again, some women experience different thing.

If you've read this thread, few post before. I've said something like this before:
Once you take Postinor2 (I don't know about other types of ECP), most of the time, there will be some slight/heavy bleeding and the menstrual cycle will then start again from day 1 when the bleeding starts. This means that the menstrual cycle has been reset to day 1 and you will need another ~28 days or so to get your usual period back (Again, different people different). Heavy bleeding or not may depend on when you took the ECP, which part are you at in your menstrual cycle. If you just finish your period, don't expect to have a lot of blood coming out after taking ECP.

Sometimes, there's no bleeding, and sometimes there's lots of bleeding. All these are normal and every individual experience differently. Heck, it's not even the same experience even single time I took Postinor2. doh.gif

Thanks for the prompt reply..

Yea, i couldn't really differentiate light spotting vs slight bleeding.. So hoping that someone can tell roughly how big spot is implantation bleeding.. Im scared it due to hormonal imbalance or overdose of ECP.. since its the 2nd time taking.. 1 month apart.. is it overdosing? same brand Escapelle.. 1st time was just normal as period came at expected day, plus minus 1-2 days.. So now having a totally different experience.. think this would be the last time using ECP, too many fear factors..

on a lighter note, if with such scenario and still get pregnant, i should send the kid to olympics.. strong swimmer/runner, if you get what i mean.. and hardcore survival..
*
It's really hard to confirm that what you experience is implantation bleeding or just the light spotting from the effects of ECP since there's not much info to compare about this online. Different people experience different amount of implantation bleeding also. And most of the women don't even experience it at all.

Your hormones are probably not balanced out yet now, due to the ECP. Just give it a few more weeks and it'll go back to normal.

I don't think it's overdose but I would also stay away from ECP as much as possible unless really needed. Stick to condoms and other forms of BC.

I've experience bleeding for over 2 weeks after consuming ECP, and also no effect (like what you experience during your 1st ECP), and also period 2 days after consuming BCP, light bleeding for a day, all sorts. I've asked pharmacists and my gynae about it and they say it's normal, different people react to it differently. smile.gif

And I don't get what you mean on the hardcore survival thing. tongue.gif

It's only an hour difference. Shouldn't have any problems with it. Some take 2 pills at one time also work.

From my Google search, I found out Bonine was mentioned by name in this thread. I'm looking for Bonine for my diving course in Australia next month.

Anybody here know where can I buy two or three packs of Bonine around KL? I checked several pharmacies and unfortunately they didn't have it.

Please name me one or two pharmacies around KL with Bonine in their store :-)
*
Your main purpose is to get motion sickness pills?
Why not you just go to the pharmacist and ask for motion sickness pills, there are many types available. Not all types of drugs are sold in local pharmacies.

And since you'll be going to Australia, you can always pay a visit to their pharmacies there and get Bonine. I'm sure they have a wider range of drugs there.

Also, unless you'll be on the boat that is not moving for quite some time, you don't really need the motion sickness pill. Diving usually will not make you get motion sickness. smile.gif One tip is to look far away at the horizon.
Still, you know your body best. Have fun diving. smile.gif

It could be side effects of the pill if she gotten those a few days after consuming the pill. But since it has been so long, I doubt it has anything to do with the pills.
Have you guys do a pregnancy test? She might be experiencing morning sickness, or just something else not related to this.

Well if period came...then it might not be. If she is experiencing that, maybe she is having UTI.
Do go to the clinic and check. That might be the reason also.
*
Ooh. I mistakenly saw that her period didn't come. My bad. sweat.gif

Yea like black_howling said, if her period came then most likely she is experiencing something else which is not related.

Appendicitis? I used to think my appendicitis pain was period cramps. My period cramps used to be very awful. Until one day I went to see my gynae and she recommend me to a surgeon where he say he has to do the operation on me immediately or it will turn very messy. I didn't have a fever, just pain and dizziness.

My UTI symptoms aren't really like that. If she experience burning during urinating then maybe it is as painful urination is one of the most common symptoms of UTI.

Yea different people react to it differently. Can't really say what is a confirm disadvantages or side effect of the ECP. Anyway, it's for Emergency use. So I doubt it would be healthy if taken on a daily/weekly basis.

Hi everyone, hope you can reply this A.S.A.P

I got this one friend who's so worry getting pregnant..

as told, she had unprotected sex with her boyfriend end of last month and for this month she missed her period. This is her first time and she don't know nothing about ECP., so, she was late for ECP right.. ( or isit she still able to take ECP and prevent pregnancy?)

up to this day, it has been 4 week and she "feel" she is pregnant.
I ask her to see doctor but she insist ( well, its so shameful to see doctor as she's not married)

she still studying and don't want to get pregnant at all..
as the "pregnancy" just 4 week-old ( in the development of fetus), she want to do abortion at the early stage
do you think, how can we help her..
she's so depressed..
*
I've PMed you. Hope your friend make a right choice and all the best to her if she's really in trouble. smile.gif

QUOTE(Pink Pagoda @ Aug 23 2011, 11:50 AM)
Labellemiel,

Before you help your friend by encouraging her to get an abortion. Please take note that illegal abortion if get caught, maximum 7 years imprisonment and fine for the doctor and patient. Also, have to consider the risk of complications during and/or after the procedure.

In malaysia, can only get abortion if it can save a woman's life or if she's unfit to be a mother by reason of insanity.

There is this abortion pill. However i think it can only be obtained from legally authorized clinics only. If your friend were to get the pills from illegal sources, she has to take the risks that the pills might not have the same quality (we all know nowadays anything can be replicated, even an egg!). The bottom line is that the pills may be hazardous to her health.

The mature thing to do is to ask the man to be responsible. 

However, to each his own.

P/S: But she has not even taken any pregnancy test! Stress can also mess with a woman's period cycle.
*
Abortion pill is also ILLEGAL in this country. There's no legally authorized clinics that sell them.
Abortion is available is certain private clinics but they are all illegal. However, they still do it secretly. Abortion pills are available nearest in Singapore, but most of the time they won't prescribe it to you because this sort of thing need follow ups.

By pills, are you referring to ECP or BCP.
If BCP, it's better if you ask at BCP thread - http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1830575
If ECP, it's meant to be taken latest 5 days after unprotected sex. Or else you'll have to look for other alternatives already.

QUOTE(zhuting @ Sep 30 2011, 02:10 PM)
question:

If a girl took 1st pill of postinor2 on the 2nd day afte unprotected sex, then 2nd pill 12hour. then less then 5hour she consumer the pill, she got did it again(unprotected sex).

Or more easy to understand:
If a girl took the Postinor2 before sex.

What will happen? Or what side effect to the girl? and does it help to prevent pregnancy?
*
If I think about it, it might and might not prevent pregnancy. I guess it's best to take another set of Postinor2 in 2 days or so. Every woman react differently to the pill. Do a pregnancy test kit after 3 weeks or so and see if she's pregnant.

Just use a condom will ya? You don't know how all this ECP will affect the body. If you can avoid it then just avoid. Or else just go on BCP.

As far as I'm concern, BCP are to be prescribe and gotten from doctors/gynaes. I don't think there's any over the counter BCPs for sale. You can check the BCP thread that I've posted earlier and ask the girls there for more info on it.

Everyone reacts to the pill differently. (If you've read the last few pages of the thread you'll know smile.gif )
She didn't have any reaction to the pill doesn't mean it's not working.

If you are really concern, please get a pregnancy test kit to be very sure.

Try not to stress out both you and your gf about whether its working or not, because it will only make her period delay much longer with stress.
