Pregnancy Scares... your stories.

I've very sorry to hear your story =[. I hope it doesn't have to apply to my girlfriend and I...

What's your opinion on the timing, with regards to her menstrual cycle?

Had period.
2 weeks later gets paranoid and takes pill, although no real reason for it.
1 week later condom slips off and we take the pill again.

The period will probably be delayed by all those hormones, plus the stress of the entire charade. But with regards to pregnancy... how likely is it that the sperm and egg would have survived 2 doses of MAP a week between each other and given that the 2nd time it was administered 2 hours after the accident and the first time there was no accident, given that in her normal cycle she was 1 week from her period?

Also, to all the girls who DID get pregnant... can I ask you if you used the morning after pill or not?

I'd be really disheartened to find someone who did use the MAP and got pregnant regardless.

If you did get pregnant despite the MAP, how long did you wait before taking the MAP, where in your cycle were you and so on?

No one can answer that - as much as it'd be nice and comforting. Take heart in the fact that the MAP is fairly good at what it does though; especially taken so early.

Can your girlfriend recall ovulating (kinda like mild period pains sometimes, mucus changes etc )

But what might ease your worry is that it's not guaranteed - EVEN IF the egg were out and EVEN IF some sperm got through, nothing says it would happen. People actively try to get pregnant for ages, timing it perfectly, and just aren't so lucky!

once. stupidly, no condom.
i was like a week late, which scared me so so much considering i'm normally dead on. to be honest though, after that i will never EVER put myself in that position again, so maybe such a scare was a good thing.

Yeah, hopefully we'll be able to say the same about our little experience in the weeks to come. Fingers crossed.

Been pregnant once due to unprotected sex with my partner, had a miscarriage at 16 weeks, was going through with it.

Well, I'm in the middle of a pregnancy scare.

I wasn't silly, I wrapped my willy. But apparently not tight enough, because it managed to come off at some point and without us realising. So I ejaculated inside her and now of course we have our scare.

We went and got the morning after pill immediately, and within 2 hours she had taken it.

But I'm still a bit worried, as I'm sure most people would be.

I've talked to a few of my mates, and a few people on MSN to get the general jist of just how common scares are. And so far I've only come across like 2 people who haven't had scares! And none of them have babies, so it's quite comforting to know that it's so common and that most of the time nothing comes of it.

So here I am on TSR looking for more comforting stories. How did your scare come about? No condom? Condom slip? Burst condom? Other? Did you get the morning after pill? What was the outcome? Etc.

I know what we did was silly... not paying enough attention to the condom and not realising it had come off, but please don't be posting anything about us being stupid and immature etc etc. We're not. And such criticism is not constructive.

Also don't de-anon, she's a user of this forum and I don't want her to know I'm worried... lest she be more worried than she is.

Thanks.

Pregnancy scares are so stressful. Being really paranoid about it makes the situation worse, especially when it puts you off having sex. Mine happened when I'd just lost my virginity, a couple of weeks afterwards, whilst having sex my ex took the condom off as it didn't fit, and was too selfish to tell me! (I didn't realise, he must have done it pretty fast & sneakily) Anyway, he withdrew but after I found out he wasn't wearing one, I panicked and spent the next 3 days trying to find a contraceptive clinic - too scared to visit the doctor as I spent alot of time there with my mum after being diagnosed with anaemia...
Eventually I told a close friend & their mum took me to their doctors and managed to get the morning after pill. Didn't think I had contracted any STIs as we were both virgins & it was both our first sexually active relationship.
Mostly me being paranoid but you never know, better to be safe than sorry
