My lady took emergency contraception two days straight...and still hasnt had period?
Question:
Answers:
First of all, if you guys are having that much trouble with condoms she should probably just go on the pill. Taking the "morning after" pill twice in one month, let alone twice in in two days, is really quite bad for her body.
Second, if she's pregnant, she's pregnant and there's nothing you can do about it at this point. The only option now is abortion, and you both would have to be very sure you want to do that before you go ahead with it, because there's no turning back once the deed is done and it can have very terrible emotional and physical repercussions later on.
And third, taking emergency contraceptive even once can mess with a woman's hormones enough to either delay or completely skip her period. Once her period is officially late, have her take a pregnancy test. If it comes out negative, it's more than like the EC causing the missed period. She can take another test a week or so later to ease your guys' mind if need be.
Good luck, and please be more careful!
Probably yea, it's probably just her period coming. B/c symptoms of your period are bad cramps and I guess breast tenderness. but she can take a pregnancy test is you guys aren't sure.
have you tried a home pregnancy test?
it is possible that her period may be near.
Get a pregnancy kit at the pharmacy and get a better method of birth control.
There are a number of pregnancy tests available in drug stores that she can use to find out if she's pregnant as early as just a couple of days past her period's usual due date. That's the step you need to take next -- go buy a pregnancy test and have her take it.
Next time, be more careful with the condoms (obviously), and also don't have sex while she's in the middle of taking the course of the emergency contraception. Good luck!
First of all, it is quite apparant you need a lesson in putting on a condemn correctly. Maybe you should work on that.
It's only the 10th. Waiting for your period while the anxiety of a possible pregnancy is lingering in the back of your head, is like watching a pot and waiting for the water to boil. The more anxious you are, the longer it seems to take.
Tell her to chill out. What can you do other than that?? Wait and see. My guess is, once she starts calming down, she will get her period.
In the meantime, refer back to paragraph one.
When exactly did she take the emergency contraceptive? They can really mess up her cycle so she is probably fine. We tell our patients that if they don't have their next period after taking the EC pills then to wait until 14 days after the sex that they took the EC for and then do an EPT pregnancy test. She needs to use her first morning urine to get accurate results and if it's negative then she knows she missed her period because of the EC not because shes pregnant. Since she took the pills with in 72 hours there was an 89% chance that it worked to prevent her from becoming pregnant. Just tell her to do the test to put her mind at ease. Good luck...:)
