well munkeyflo is rite...everyone is different. at times you do not see any effect for about 2 weeks. this normally happens if you gf already had her period recently. or if her period is due in a week or 2 then you will see her having period at the same time.

I would suggest you to read the previous threads to understand how ECP works. It is not like an overnite effect. then once you understand it, let her know how it works. at least she will be calm and at ease knowing that you care for her and did some search and look up.

Just dont stress her out. if within 3 weeks there is still nothing, do a pregnancy test. then see if you score it or not.  thumbup.gif

Bolded part is very true. smile.gif

Just to share again to MangoTax, I personally have took Postinor2 few times and almost each time I get a different reaction to it.
I had experienced having no reaction at all, having menses come immediately the next day, in a few days or in a week. I've also had experience of having period for 2 straight week continuously. I've asked pharmacist and gynaes about this and they have all assured me before that it's normal and every person reacts to it differently.

So rest your mind and don't worry too much. This kinda thing works properly most of the time. wink.gif

Yes it did work every single time. If not I'll be pregnant already by now no? laugh.gif

Just get a pregnancy test kit and test. Settle.

Btw, did you follow the instructions given on the box in the first place?

Try providing more info like when was her last period, when did you two had intercourse, when did she eat the pills, how long is her menstrual cycle, is her cycle usually stable or not, is this the first time she had sex, did she eat anything wrong, did she change her eating habit, is she under any stress (work, study, family, etc.). Some of these stuff are not easily seen or observe but it doesn't mean that it's not there, especially stress.

Her period was not stable becoz she still studying... Sametimes will bit stress... If she ate other medicine before ate ecp, is it will not working?

The bolded part just shows that you have nothing much to worry about, and we can't really help you with the dates anymore.

What you have to do now is buy her a pregnancy test kit (around RM10 or so) and ask her to test it first thing in the morning.
Just relax and don't worry. She's probably just stressed over studying again plus the stress from the efficiency of ECP, which makes it even harder for her menses to come. I had a friend who miss three months of period due to stress, that just shows how effective stress is in delaying period.

If she's pregnant and she is having period (or bleeding a lot), it's a major problem already and may pose serious threats to the growing baby inside.
So yea, what do you thing? smile.gif

You don't sound serious about getting her a simple pregnancy test, how long has it been already since you guys started worrying?

We r intercourse on 9th october, and my gf last period is between 24 to 30sep... I plan this week should give her to test... But today  26th her period just come, not late and not early... So wan ask ur experience.. So ur suggestion is better give her test?

Aiyor. Basically it's like this. Very simple.
Pregnant = No period
Period = No pregnant

Get it? wink.gif

Postinor2 will mess up menstrual cycle and hormones, besides your girl menstrual cycle already not very stable, chill and stop worrying.
After this go read up on menstrual cycle, hormones, pregnancy and talk to your girl more. She should know these stuff.

Pregnancy test kits are best used around the time the 'missed period' is due. Which is roughly 2-3 weeks after intercourse. Some claims their test kit is more sensitive and hence can use even before period is due. wink.gif

First of all, if you ask me, your gf has almost zero chance of getting pregnant. Moreover, it seems from your description that she does not have a stable menstrual cycle.

Secondly, ECP (i.e. postinor2) is recommended to be taken within the first 3 days of unsafe sex. Some say it still works up to 5 days but most instructions will tell you to take within 3 days. The method to consume the pill is take the first pill, then second pill after 12 hours.

Pregnancy test is best used around or slightly after the next period is due. Or easier to understand, when she is suppose to have her period but doesn't seem to have it yet. Testing too early will not yield any accurate result.

Also remember that stress is a big factor of delaying period. If your gf is stress over this, she could be indirectly delaying her menses for no reason.

Women get wet when they are arouse, even if they don't reach orgasm. It's just how our organs work to prepare us for sex. Some women produce lots of 'water' when they reach orgasm. If its her first time, she might not know it herself.

Lots of unwanted pregnancy and pregnancies Happen everyday. There's not much record of every single method of conception. So hard to say. But if you ask me, based on my experience and knowledge, I would say almost none.

*
As we have already said before, a girl will get wet when she is aroused. Her panties may be soaked thru and that's why the pants was wet too. Or your pre-cum could have done it as well, but I highly doubt that cause pre-cum usually is too small of an amount to actually soak thru your underwear, unless you weren't wearing any.

I do not think you have anything to worry about abortion right now.
You're better off on Google reading up more on how sex and the female menstrual cycle works than worrying about abortion.

You also mentioned that her period is not stable right? Or did I missed something out?
If her period is not stable, then it's perfectly fine for her period to be delayed or come earlier every time. Also, it is common for the girl to have some slight changes to her menstrual cycle when she have sex for the first time. (I assume no sex was done since it was only dry humping) Is she stress over this issue? Is she having exam, work, family related stress? Did she fall sick these past few days? Has she changed her diet? Is she eating healthy food? All these stuff will affect one's menstrual cycle. Do read up on it, it's all over the Internet.

On another note, there have been a study showing that pre-cum does not contain any sperm cells. But there are lots of people claiming that they have been pregnant due to pre-cum. Hence, more research has to be done on pre-cum causing pregnancy.

Highly unlikely. wink.gif
Let me just say, the only time you need to worry and get all stressed over an unwanted pregnancy is when you ejaculated inside her vagina. So just relax and have fun but be safe. laugh.gif

Haha. You're still very new to this.
It does not enter that easily. As I've mentioned earlier, you don't have to worry so much about your sperm entering her vagina unless you ejaculate INSIDE HER.

You should also read up on menstrual cycles. When is her safe period, fertile period.. How long is your sperm stay alive inside of her.. How long does her egg survives.. Other methods of birth control.. How does a pregnancy occur.. There are many things you'll need to learn. You should not be afraid to ask her regarding this type of topic. It's something both of you will learn and grow together. Couples that are able to talk openly and comfortably about this are the ones that enjoy sex the most. Think about it. smile.gif

Hi there. I spent the last hour and a half reading through the whole thread but am still worried about my case.

Yesterday at 10+pm, my guy and I were making out and then proceeded to remove our clothes. Guess we got caught up in the moment and I allowed him to insert into me slightly (I know I felt it did not go all the way into the cervix, just within the vaginal walls. I use tampons regularly so I can feel) and we were doing it for about a minute. Erm that was my first time but definitely not his (he's quite an experienced guy who has had sex times before) and he assured that he knew how to time it such that he would withdraw before ejaculation. I felt him hardening and it growing bigger inside me and he quickly withdrew and started masturbated himself, ejaculating outside of me about 10-15 seconds after he withdrew. We then washed up in the bathroom. About half an hour later, we did it again and likewise, he withdrew way before he ejaculated, and we immediately washed up thenafter.

I also read that studies cannot really confirm whether precum contains sperms or not, but am feeling very paranoid at the moment, mainly because we did not use a condom. Called him up today and talked about it. Got very annoyed at him cos it seems like he is shrinking responsibility. I was saying what if there really was a chance I could get pregnant, and he said then you got two options, to keep it or get rid of it, obviously without including him in anything.

As I'm living in Singapore, I think I can only obtain the ECP by visiting a GP but yes I admit I am shy about going to my nearby GP (what if they tell my parents about it, the clinic assistants know me as well).

As of now, it's been 22 hours since we first did it and it was 5 days after my period that it happened. Would appreciate some counselling sad.gif
*
I think the chances of getting pregnant isn't that high.

First, you're most likely not in your fertile period. Second, he didn't ejaculate inside you. Third, I believe, precum doesn't contain sperm unless the guy ejaculated before having sex with you and didn't pee after that.

Then again, the precum thing, it's up to what you wanna believe. There's so far only one published study (not sure if there's more now) done with I think 5 men which came out to show that there were no sperm cells in precum. But the sample size was one of the limitations to the study.

Why not you go to a GP which is further away and doesn't know who you are or your parents are? smile.gif
And also probably get a new bf who will be more responsible and response to your feelings/worries.

Didn't see your post here about your gf period cycle.
Since she has very irregular period cycle then I don't think you have much to worry about. You didn't go all the way and have sex anyway.

So relax, high chance that there's nothing to worry about.

It's not that easy for liquid to magically find their way into the vagina without being ejaculated inside it. smile.gif

QUOTE(tbsf @ Dec 22 2011, 12:13 PM)
Thanks for your replies munkeyflo and back_howling  smile.gif

Definitely a lesson learnt, never knew he would turn out to be like this.  sad.gif  I got so mad at him during that same call that I just hung up halfway while he was talking about 'me being too paranoid and that he thinks maybe we should not do any more of this'. Its proven that he's an arse as he has not called back since. I definitely do not want to be with him already.

Yes my period cycle is pretty stable, plus minus 2-3 days. Frankly I had no plans of having sex, was fine with just dry humping, I guess he had other sneaky plans on his mind, thats why I said I was in the moment and then agreed, of course regretting now. In retrospective, that makes him even more of an arse that he already planned to entice me into having sex with him when he knows I have said on previous occasions that I do not want to and yet he did not carry a condom.

Also, though I was in the moment, I was kinda conscious of the whole thing and when he tried to go deeper in, I stopped him saying I did not want to break my hymen or bleed, so he took it out a little and we continued with shallow penetration for a short while. Hence there was no pain or bleeding though it was my first time.

Hesitant about going to the GP as they'll have my records, and because of the side effects/hormonal imbalance that comes with the pills. I sometimes take some hormonal pills to delay my period cos of my sporting events and I get really bad cramps on my first day of period always. My really close friends that I confided in said I should just relax, pray hard and do a pregnancy test come January. They also said maybe my hymen could have already been broken with the sports I do, without me knowing.
*
Glad to know that you have part of your problems figured out. biggrin.gif

Females have all types of hymens. Some of us do sports and break our hymens while some of us don't do any sports yet doesn't bleed during the first time. It's different for everyone so don't worry about it. What matters most is your mental preparation for it. smile.gif

If I were you, I still think it would be best to get ECP just to be sure. It's easy to say we will keep our cool and not get all paranoid about being pregnant but it's not something we can control easily. Often we don't even know that we are under stress and I'm sure you know very well that stress messes up our hormones and menstrual cycle. Anyhow, think about your choices then make your decision. smile.gif

Well I am certainly more paranoid than the average person but not to the extreme, where friends have said that I'm just being too paranoid about things, studies, sport races etc . However, my close friends who aren't paranoid people did say they would be as paranoid as me if they were in my situation.

I guess I try not to get too stressed up about it yet the thoughts still creep up in my mind and then the cycle of paranoia starts again, and though I already read up yesterday, I read it again. And the GP thought keeps flashing in my mind as the time ticks away. Frankly, websites like THIS scare me.

Also, the arse just called as I was typing this but I ignored the call. We do the same sport though and I will see him face to face tomorrow. Our friends don't know about the relationship also.

There are lots of websites out there that has all sorts of opinions. It's up to us to believe what we think is reasonable and right. Take in the advices but don't take it as it's the only advice and correct advice available. smile.gif

I believe all sorts of medication/pills have its own side effects. It can be associated with this and that but I don't think there has been any direct cause-and-effect link between them. ECP are widely used and if it has been known to cause so much trouble, it would not be easily available OTC already. biggrin.gif Just be sure to go for yearly pap smear test and take note of changes in your own body.

Common sense and some basic biology will let you come to the conclusion that you will not bleed because there's no more blood lining to be shed.

Different people react differently to the pill, you have to take into account your menstrual cycle, when was the intercourse, when did you consume the pill, stress, etc. Some find that it doesn't affect their menstrual cycle, some find that they get their period few days after taking ECP. Everyone is different.

Thanks for your information. Actually I just had my very first time unprotected intercourse with my bf on the 5th day of my period.(is that safe period ?right?) Just took the postinor-2 for the first try but still worrying for the unwanted pregnancy. May i know minimum how long do i need to wait to buy a pregnancy test kit for a more accurate result? Thanks in advance.

It's common for girls to have some hormone changes when they have sex for the first time. So first of all, don't be panic, stop worrying and just relax. More often than not, it's stress that's delaying your period, not an unwanted pregnancy.

Next, to answer your question, if you ask me, no time of the month can be consider as an absolutely 'safe period'. Some people even get pregnant when they are having their menses. So it's still best to use protection for your future sexual intercourses. That aside, the most fertile period is during the 12th to 16th day or so. Reason being sperm can survive for 3 days while egg only survive 1 day. So if the sperm goes in on the 12th and the egg is out on the 14th, there is higher chance fertilization will occur. People always say after menses is the safest time, but I don't think so. We won't know when we ovulate, unless you have a stable menstrual cycle or you check your body's sign to know when you ovulate. And knowing that sperm can live for 3 days, there's the risk that our body will ovulate around the 10th day then fertilization may occur. Safest time if you ask me, will be before your menses is about to come.

To get a pregnancy test kit to yield the most accurate results, test it when your next period is due. That is, if your menses is expected to come on the 1st, but you still don't get anything, then try testing it around the 3rd or 4th. If you test it one week after your menses is due (around the 7th), that will yield the most accurate results as some pregnancy test kit are not so sensitive in testing for small amounts of HCG levels.

Hi. I would want to try Postinor-2 for the first time. But how reliable is that if I take it in a correct way? Im really anxious if postinor fails me since my bf is reluctant to use condom anyway. Could anyone share experiences on having postinor after an unprotected intercourse during girl's unsafe period, but still be safe from pregnancy? From other websites i got to know that it's failure rate is 1%, is that true? Why every websites state the different percentage of failure rate? Some say 1% but some say 20-30%?

Hope someone could help me, i'm really in anxious mood now.

You can read thru the previous post on this thread to find out more.

I've personally taken postinor2 a few times, probably more than 10 times already over the dunno how many years. So far none of them had failed on me. However, I should warn you that everyone has different reactions to it. I've personally had all sorts of reactions, no reaction, no menses, got menses after few days, got menses for continuously 2 weeks. All of these reactions are normal according to the pharmacists and gynaes that I've consulted.

Seeing how you have express yourself here, you seems to be one that is very prone to anxiousness and stress. So the first thing you should do (and every other girl who is worried over the similar issue) is to relax, stop worrying and don't stress yourself out. Cause stress is usually the main reason why our menses delay -- and make us think we are pregnant.

Secondly, not everything stated on the Internet is true. Keep that in mind.

Lastly, dump your bf. wink.gif
