Please Respond, This May Be Urgent Posted: 11-15-04 01:16am
I had sex with my girlfriend last night.
She just remembered that she forgot to
take her pill yesterday. Is this ok?
Should we do the morning after pill just
to be safe? Thank you.

If it was just yesterday that she forgot
you should be ok. Do you use anything
else, like condoms? If so, then don't
worry... You're a-ok.

Im assuming he's so worried is because
they didnt use a condom. But maybe thats
just how I think. I dont know about bc
pills, since im on the patch so hopefully
she gets her period, and if not, go buy a
pregnancy test!

Tell her to take the pill she missed
today. She should be ok.

Ok thanks everyone. When I offered to
pay for it, she decided to go ahead and do
the morning after pill. Though she
probably didn't need it, can't say i'm
upset about the cost. Thanks again.

Good call. Either i'm going to have to
know her pill schedule just as well as she
does, or we'll start using condoms as
well. Thanks again.

Quick Update. Still a Little Concerned Posted: 11-22-04 18:44pm
For those new to the thread, my girlfriend
and I had sex at 3 am on wednesday. My
girlfriend was on birth control but had
forgotten to take her pill that day. So
on thursday she got the morning after pill
and began the treatment at about 4 pm.
Now, about a week and a half later, she is
almost 2 days late for her period. She
took a first response test the day before
her expected period and it was negative.
Is the delayed period a result of the
morning after pills? Or is there still a
chance she is pregnent? Can we rely on
this test? Am I just freaking out?
Thanks alot everyone.

The morning after pill may have affected
her hormones and made her peiod late.
Has she gotten it yet? If not, have her
take a preg test. A urine test first
thing in the morning or a blood test at
the doc. Let us know!

Hi everyone,
sorry for the late reply. We were out
of town and did not have access to email.
She did eventually get her period (3 days
late though, phew). Thanks for all the
support, I really appreciate it.
