Immediate Help!

First, calm down.

Your chances are pretty slim if you're up to date on your bc. They'll be even more slim if you take the morning-after pill, but I don't know anything about it.

Also, for future reference, "all" the semen will not drain back out. While some does, not all of it does.

I really dont think you should worry this much. Also, I would be careful with the morning after stuff..It s prob not necessary in your case. I decided to do that once and I bled for 14 straight days..Well I went back to the clinic and it turned I was hemorrhaging. They had to put me on all these medications for internal inflammation and stuff...Not fun.

Yeah there is a very very small chance of your being pregnant...Being that you are taking birth control..Not saying that its 100% effective though---considering you are taking the morning after pill--will really save you from being pregnant...I have taken it before..And the doctor told me it like hundreds of doses of birth control all in one..Its a packet of pills ..You will take one at the office and one at home...Although with some people they make them sick..So you have to eat before taking them...(i never got sick)..But anyways stop stressing im almost positive that you arent pregnant!! Good luck and be careful with those condoms...Lol

Does it cost anything for the morning after?
Honestly I don't want a big deal out of this, but bleeding for 14 days, inflamation and getting sick doesn't sound pleasant. Should I just wait and see if my period comes?

I'm not sure what hemmorage means.

It means you bleed and it will not stop untill you go to the er,

I am an intern midwife (have studied for 17 years, but am raising my own kids before actively practicing), and a perinatal counselor.

Please don't be afraid of the morning after pill. It will not cause you to hemorrhage. It is simply a very high dosage birth control pill. It also does not cause abortion-just in case that worries you.

There is no possibility that "all the semen came out". A single drop of semen contains millions of sperm, by the way, so even if your boyfriend doesn't "come" inside you, it's possible to get pregnant because there are always a few drops before ejaculation.

If you have been on the pill for at least 3-6 months, and if you have been taking it regularly, without missing any days this past month, you are probably ok. However, the morning after pill would not be a bad idea, just in case.

You should be able to get it for free at any planned parenthood or public health clinic. I don't know where you live, so what is available to you may vary-but if there is no planned parenthood locally, contact the public health office in your county to find out where you can get the morning after pill.

To the girl who thinks the morning after pill caused her to hemorrhage, having a period for 14 straight days is not necessarily "hemorrhage". It could also simply have been that you are young, had a hormonal imbalance, and your periods were not yet well established or regular. It can be very disconcerting to bleed that many days, but unless you are losing so much blood as to endanger your life-which this doesn't sound like-it is not really a hemorrhage. There are very good and more natural ways to regulate your hormonal balance so that you have regular periods and don't bleed too much. It is possible that, if you already have a hormonal imbalance that was causing a tendency to extensive periods, taking the morning after pill or any other hormonal pill might "tip" the balance even more.

That doesn't mean it would happen again, by the way.

Thank you fiora, i'm going tomorrow morning. :)

Yes, thank you fiora. You said all the things I was going to write!

Also, just wanted to add to kgirl that if you're a perfect pill user, you don't even need to use condoms when you're having sex with your boyfriend, you're still protected. (i know from experience) of course, if it worries you that much, continue to use condoms, but you're still ok if the condom breaks. :)

first of all, I dont trust anything you say-you are advising ibprofen for pregnant women in your other post. That is known to cause bleeding in fetus'. You have no idea what you are talking about. My periods had been established since I was 10, y.E.S 10, and this happened when I was 17. Second of all it was a d.I.R.E.C.T result of the morning after pill, not my hormones. I dont have a hormonal imbalance. The clinic gave me medicine for inflammation which they specifically told me occured bc of the morning after pill. Sorry to say this but I think you are an fool.

I totally agree with fiora and couldn't have said it better myself. Even if nataliachick did hemmorage after the mip, that is extremely rare.
I took it and had no side affects.
Also, nataliachick, ibuprofen is perfectly safe during certain stages of pregnancy.

Isipes, im sorry but I trust the two doctors that I have talked to, my mom who is a nurse, and every pregnancy book ive ever read (which I have read many) over you. I would never take ibuprofen while pregnant. Also I realize that what happened in my case isnt common, I was just saying, it happens. So have all the facts before you try something you know nothing about..End of story.

I was just reading through this and from what ive read in a baby book and what I just looked up online ibuprofen is ok to take during pregnancy
its what I take
i think its asprin that pregnant women shouldnt take

Nataliechick,

i'm sorry if, in your case, you had a hemorrhage or any other bad reaction to the morning after pill. I certainly cannot assume what the situation is for any specific person who I don't know and haven't any history of. However, if that was your body's reaction, it is extremely rare-just as rare, by the way, as having your period at 10 and it being regular by the age (i thought you said 14) that you had this happen.

Obviously, if you have doctors and nurses in your family, you will tend to believe what they say to you over what someone on the internet says-however, I have also read many, many books on pregnancy and childbirth, having been in training and work in the field for 17 years, since my pregnancy with my first child. Midwifery training is quite different than what a typical obstetrician or ob nurse would go through, by the way.

Since home birth midwives handle normal pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum without a hospital staff and nurses, etc, except in the case when a problem requires referral, a midwife in training studies in great depth everything that can assist the mother in maintaining excellent health and a normally developing pregnancy.

That means the training is very intensive in nutrition, herbs, and understanding the specifics of the body's natural processes. Another aspect of training is learning to really read and understand statistics and research studies-rather than just taking at face value whatever the insurance imposed hospital procedures are.

There are quite a few myths that the american hospital based childbirth system is based on. The books you typically can find at the corporate bookstores-like "what to expect when you're expecting"- are basically training manuals for how to be a good little hospital birth patient.

If you would like a list of books to read that will blow some of those myths apart, try anything by anne frye to start with. She has written a very well researched and backed up series of manuals for homebirth midwives-drawing on resources that are varied and reliable.

I didn't get it. The day didn't go as planned and I didn't go. Please! What do you think my chances of being pregnant are? When the condom broke I was on my second last active pill of my ortho tri cyclen pack. Please, someone let me know. I know the pill is 99.8% effective but even if it's that close to the end? I just need a strangers opinion who won't be bias towards me. I'm terrified.

Again I say, calm down. Your chances are slim.

The pill doesn't work less at the end of the pack than at the beginning... That's like thinking the last tylenol in the bottle won't cure your headache because all the medicine leaked out or something.

Thanks again fiora :) youre a lovely dear
