I had sex yesterday and my fiancé ejaculated in me and now I'm afraid I'll get pregnant I bought the Plan B Pill but I'm a little nervous about taking it. Ive had problems with my stomach for the last few years but I don't really have any allergies to anything and I finished my period this Wednesday any advice would help right now Thanks

[justcurious55]

Are you on any other birth control? The pill? Depo shots? Anything? If so, as long as you've been taking those correctly, you shouldn't need plan b. if not, and you don't want a baby right now, I'd recommend taking the pill. It's pretty much a large dose of hormones. So you might become nauseous from it. And you should expect it to throw off your cycle a little bit. The sooner you take it the better. Even if you take it immediately after sex there's still not a 100% chance it will work. But the sooner you take it the better than chances.

Im not on any birth control but I'm worried about the side effects I'm a smoker and I've had some stomach cramping

[justcurious55]

If you're concerned you need to ask your dr or the pharmacist. Being a smoker seems to increase risks with a lot of things. I don't know what your stomach cramping has to do with anything though?

I am thank u

You also need to be on birth control (AND a backup method) if you don't want to be pregnant. Please be more responsible.

[mari419]

Normally we are more careful and I know this isn't an excuse but we were drunk I took the pill an hour ago so far so good Im 31 years old Ive always been careful and prepared I thank u for the advice

[ChihuahuaMomma]

More careful meaning? He pulls out? Are you on birth control?

[mari419]

No pulling out that's just stupid... Just as stupid as we were on Saturday We use condoms always except Saturday night

[ChihuahuaMomma]

If you are having sex why are you not on birth control? You do know that condoms are not EVER 100% effective? And if it's a drunk person putting it on, I'd give it like 40% effectiveness. You need a back up plan. You're asking about and taking Plan B, so obviously you don't want to be pregnant right now. Why not protect yourself a little better?

[mari419]

I never had situations like this and I'm 31 and a smoker and I've heard you can't take certain types of birth control when your a smoker

[ChihuahuaMomma]

There are MANY types of birth control that smokers can use. I've been on Seasonique for 2 years, and been a smoker for 5. I only get my period every three months.

CM, you're young. The risks associated with smoking and being on the pill increase with age.

There are other methods though, like an iud.

A condom is only effective if it's used. Obviously there are times when you and your partner aren't acting responsibly enough to use a condom. That would imply that this choice of birth control is probably not the best one for you.

Sadly there is no form of birth control that is 100%, but, using birth control is still better then having unprotected sex.

Why not check with your doctor about other options? In this day and age there isn't any reason to leave things to chance.

Ive heard of seasonique but does that affect u if u want to have children later on

[Alty]

Ive heard of seasonique but does that affect u if u wanna have children later on

Sorry, I'm not sure.

It would be a good thing to discuss with your doctor. It's always best to see your doctor for a physical, tell him your habits (smoking), your future plans (wanting a child later on) and then going from there.

There are so many forms of birth control available, I'm sure you'll find one that matches you and your lifestyle.

Good luck. :)

[mari419]

Thank you I will

Not that I have ever heard, I've had it prescribed by three different doctors, and that was one of my concerns as well.
