Is It Good That I'm This Paranoid?:( Posted: 11-13-06 02:29am
Life thus far has been an interesting
journey, to say the least. As time goes
on, I am finding it easier and easier to
become totally consumed with birth control
and avoiding pregnancy at the moment.
I've had more than a couple flings in my
past, and only one other serious
relationship (besides the one i'm in now).
Technically, this would be my 6th sexual
partner. I've tried to avoid condoms in
the past, and feel stupid now for doing
so.
I have taken the higher road though, and I
was on depo from about august 2002-may
2006 (with a year off in the middle). I
finally got off the shot for good because
the relationship I was in ended (horribly)
and I decided the cost and hassle wasn't
worth it. I didn't plan on dating again
anyway.
After going off the shot, I lost 80lbs and
nearly a month ago, I met the love of my
life. I mean, there's absolutely no
doubt in my head that he's my soulmate.
Getting to my question, as soon as we met,
we had unprotected sex. I immediately
got some ec, and all was well. Then he
was using the pull-out method for a while.
Then I went in to go back on birth
control- this time levora, and they made
me take a second dose of ec, just to "make
sure". So I took that too, even though I
was having the "period" that the previous
ec had given me. All of this happened
within about two week's time. After
taking the second dose of ec, I began my
pills. I never spotted again from the
second dose of ec, and was on the pill for
about five days, when we had unprotected
sex (without him pulling out), again.
The sex occurred about 48 hrs ago (from
the time i'm writing this).
Does anybody have any suggestions? Do I
need to get a third dose of ec? I am due
to start boot camp in feb. 2007, and
would hate to miss it because of a stupid
lack in judgement. I am thinking about
this non-stop right now!
I'm still taking my bc pill once a day.
I haven't missed a day.

Im not sure how ec works but I do know
that you should use a form of back up
contraceptive through at least the first
week of taking the pill. I would
recomend a month just to be on the safe
side.
If you are worried you should contact your
doc imediately due to the time window of
effectiveness for ec.
