They sell these things in drug stores called pregnancy tests. Get one and have your...er I mean your friend's GF take it.

There is nothing you can do at this point except find out one way or the other if she's pregnant or not.

Start decorating the nursery. Or consider adoption if you aren't mature enough to take care of the child you have now created.

Wow, some of you people have a sick sense of humor.
 
Rusty coat hanger, lots of alcohol, a punch in the stomach, lick in the stomach, or throw her down a flight of stairs.

How the he11 would that help?

American Cancer Link on Prayer and Mental and Physical Healthhttp://www.cancer.org/docroot/ETO/content/ETO_5_3X_Spirituality_and_Prayer.asp?sitearea=ETO

Although prayer studies are silent on this particular situation, the consensus of studies seem to indicate positive mental and physical effects for patients that know they are being prayed for or believe in the power of prayer.

(So evidently that could help-although measuring the physical benefits may prove elusive)

I remember readin about a study that showed that Religious people generally recover more quickly after surgery. The religious people of course dedicated that to god, but it's more complex than that. Most religious people have a large network of friends that they see at church every week. When someone is sick everyone knows about it and they all go and visit them at the hospital. As a result, the patient recovers quicker because they are happier. At least that seems like a logical explanation to me. Kinda OT, sorry.
 
He might as well go watch the football game, because there isn't sh|t he can do about it if he doesn't believe in abortion. Not like it matters anyway, the man has no say in these things.
 
Been stated several times, but it can't be said enough in this situation.

Get one of those home kits, if it comes up positive, go to her OB/Gyn, ASAP.
If it comes up negitive wait up to 5 weeks for her to get her period, if it does not come by her next cycle then have her go to her OB/Gyn.
It is not all that uncommon for young women to miss a month, but if they miss two then they need to see the doctor, just to be safe.
 
Dude, how old are you? I mean, if you have to come on here for help, you must be really young. Get some real help before its too late.

How soon after does the morning after pill have to be taken? The morning after?

72 hours


actually, recent studies have shown 99% or more effectiveness within the first 98hrs of intercourse. good luck if its been later than that
 
1-2 weeks is probably a bit late, but there is another form of emergency contraception - the emergency IUD (coil).

This can be fitted up to 7 days after itercourse (but there are occasions when it isn't suitable, and the timing may need to be checked against predicted dates of ovulation).

The emergency IUD has the advantage that if desired it can be left in place, to provide long-term contraceptive protection (or alternatively, it can be removed after 1 month - if she doesn't want to keep it).

In any case, with any form of emergency contraception the effectiveness drops the longer you wait - The 2 main types of emergency contraceptive pill are most effective if taken within 24-48 hours, after which the reliability begins to tail off. Although, if taken within 72 hours, the expected failure rate is less than 3% (estimates vary from about 1% to 2.9%). As an aside, the emergency coil is very effective - with failure rate of about 0.1% when used correctly.
