Alright, 2 people have said it doesn't matter if she was having her period... I want to know why you say that, because AFAIK it is a valid question.

If the girl is having her period that means the uterine lining is coming out. With no uterine lining the egg can't stay inside, therefore during a period you can't get pregnant.

Once the system starts flushing it doesn't stop.

It's unlikely, but still possible. Sperm can reside inside a woman's body for several days, and there's a slim chance this might extend into a fertile period.

An egg cannot become fertilized until ovulation though, which usually takes 2 weeks.

(2 weeks until ovulation, 1 week while ovulating and 1 week of the period) These are not exact numbers because it can vary month to month but it is general guideline.

A sperm would have to survive for about 2 weeks to get a girl pregnant while on her period and the Max is usually about 7 days while average is 3-5.

Eggs are not released on a steady schedule, especially not in young adults. An egg can be released right after the period ends (caused by an early spike in LH levels). As I said, it's unlikely, but still possible. Pregnancy isn't something I would risk.

wow this is still going?

sorry guys when i made the accusation you were not trying to be seroius when the responses like "plant parenthood" came up. I did not know it was a legit website with this kind of information.

anyways it was taken care of and she already took the first pill earlier today and is taking the 2nd one tonight 12 hours later. we should be okay

OP, question how old are you, and have you taken a sex ed class at any point in your life?

i ask only because i believe that teaching sex ed, and about things such as the pill, contraception and planned parenthood would be more beneficial than teaching abstinence only. Because when situations like this occur, kids who haven't been taught these things know next to nothing about these sorts of things.

yes in highschool. we had been using the pill for a while but the side effects were very wierd for her and she didn't like it. so we went to condoms and they had been fine. however last night i don't know it just slipped off somehow .

EDIT: oh, and i'm 23.
i knew about the morning after pill, i just did not know much about it as to where to get it. however when I took sex ed in school, there was no morning after pill.

you forgot the part where he has to fish out the rubber through all his goo.

well maybe when you took it it was, but when i took it our teacher went through every sort of contraception there was, showed us disgusting pics of STDs, went through doing self examination for cancer, went through the abortion process, and offered condoms...i think its much better than having no sex ed at all...

Planned Parenthood is the way to go. You can also try the local pharmacy. but you better do it quick

Well, if you really think it's necessary, yes, get your asses to Planned Parenthood.

Haven't read the thread.

You should really look into either an additional form of BC or another form of the pill. In real world use, condoms are not signifigantly better than the pull out method. In fact, I don't think they help at all if you leave them inside the girl.

where did you hear that from? the pope? I remember reading an article saying that the Catholic church not only condemned the use of condoms, but claimed that condoms do not prevent the spread of STDs. Please don't tell me that is your source for information.

No, here. The FDA.

Rates of pregnancy:

Withdrawl:
Typical use: 19% Lowest Expected: 4%

Male Condom:
Typical use: 14% Lowest Expected: 3%

I'd say that was pretty damn close.

Well who ever wrote the article you read was quite uninformed. You didn't find it in a box of Anti-Riligeos did you? (it's just a bad joke - don't take it personally)

that is a very interesting source.

Here is how I interpret it:

With condoms claiming a 1% failure rate, that means out of a 1000 times the condom statistically will fail 10 times. Out of those 10 times, 3 of those times will result in pregnancy.

With the withdrawal method, out of 1000 times, a guy would have to pull out incorrectly less than 10 times, and out of those 10 times, pregnancies will result 4 times.

The flaw here is that no guy has a 1% accuracy when it comes to withdrawing. I'd rather place my bets on a rubber.

You can interpret it that way if you like, but you would be wrong. From the same website:

"Typical Use" rates mean that the method either was not always used correctly or was not used with every act of sexual intercourse (e.g., sometimes forgot to take a birth control pill as directed and became pregnant), or was used correctly but failed anyway.

"Lowest Expected" rates mean that the method was always used correctly with every act of sexual intercourse but failed anyway (e.g., always took a birth control pill as directed but still became pregnant).

And this website claims this is from 1 year of average use with each of the methods. Not 1000 times for condoms or 10 times for withdrawl or anything blatantly skewed like that.

And neither the withdrawl method or condoms are claiming 1% accuracy for either typical or expected. I'm not sure where you got that number from.

Or find someone taking birth control pills, morning after is effectively an OD. Take 3.

I think it's more like 5 tablets one day...and then 5 the day after... but heck, I've never been in this situation so i really don't know.

I DO work in a pharmacy but Dr's rarely write the directions on the package...usually it just says take as directed...And as far as I know, Plan B is prescription only...at least in TX.

Plan B is 2 pills. Old directions were take 1 then the second 12 hrs later, but new directions let you take 2 right away.

you need the bcp orvral to do this and its two pills in the first twelve hours and then two pills in the next twelve hours.

Uh, not as of 3 weeks ago it's not...

Don't take this the wrong way, but I think I'd trust the FDA more than some random guy on the internet's analysis of their study.

Obviously condom is better than withdrawal, but it's foolish to rely on just the condom.
