Need some help !!

Right, a friend of mine has been really worried lately as she had unprotected sex, she hasn't been on the pill or anything. She's due her period in the next few days and is hoping this will decrease the chances or anything happen. She told me the guy pulled out before he came. She's going to try ge the moring after pill just to make sure.

Does the pill cost much ? Where exactly do you go to get one ?

Giving the circumstances what are the chances of something happening ?

I can't seem to find much information, thanks none the less.

Pregnancy isn't the only thing that she needs to worry about.

Seriously, unprotected sex can have more hazardous effects than pro-creating.

Your friend needs to go to a GP/STI clinic and make sure she hasn't caught any infection from having unprotected sex. I'm sure this will teach her a valuable lesson in the future, but there is no reason to justify having recreastional sex without a condom.

Best of luck

i'm no expert, but i assume you get the pill for the pharmacy.

if she had unprotected sex "lately" the morning after pill isn't going to be much use now. also remember that the pill wont protect your friend from STIs. if she is going to be having more rumpy-pumpy with this guy (or any others) then she better be pretty damn sure that there is no possibility that he could transmit anything.

Indeed. Even without ejaculation, the chances of her having contracted an STD dwarf the chances of her being pregnant.

"Your friend" can go to a GP and be prescribed the morning after pill. The pill can be effective up to 72 hours after sex, though the sooner it's taken, the higher the chances of it working. Then a few weeks later, tell her to go to a clinic or her GP and get an STD test. Refrain from unprotected sexual activity until the test comes back clear.

She's now decided to tell me that it was her first time !! It was his first time too !! Does this affect anything concerning STD's. They're both together and are faithful if that helps.

Would the period being only a few days away affect a possible pregnancy ?

yeah, a GP will prescribe the MAP but it'd be unethical to prescribe it more than 72 hours after sex. if its close to that now, the local A&E in hospitals may be able to provide it, contact them to see.

the chances are if she's due her period that she probably had sex in the most fertile part of her cycle (around days 14-16) so even up to day 20 (maybe even more depending on her individual cycle) she may stil be fertile, as ovulation may have been late, for whatever reason.

one things for sure, your "friend" needs to get some medical attention, speak to a doc ASAP about the MAP, then get an STD test, then buy some condoms. as its been said before, unprotected sex while waiting for STD test results is a big no-no cos if your "friend" caught anything, she could pass it on.

and tell her to relax, if she's stressed her period is more likely to be late. also, if she's that worried and is due her period, first response pregnancy tests may be able to tell her.

morning after pill will only work if she had sex under 72 hours ago. Your friend will probable be okay, but she should go to the doc to sort out the pill, or and invest in some condoms. There s only ever one excuse to have unprotected sex.
Also try and reasure your friend, because if she is totally wound up about the possibilities of been pregnant, this could delay her period, as stress will always affect ones cycle.

Being worried will not make her period late. Her period will come 14/16 days after she ovulated and no amount of worrying will change that, however worrying early in the cycle (which is not the time she had the unprotected sex) can delay ovulation thus making the period late.

Her most fertile time would be the day before and up to 2 days after she ovulated, if her period is due less than a week after her unprotected sex, while she could be pregnant it would be quite unlikely as the egg only lives about 24 hours after ovulation.

I hope she is okay and that all her tests come back negative.
