    I can't tell if you are pregnant or not at this stage. You had sex on Friday, it is only Monday. There isn't even enough time for the sperm to reach the egg and the egg to implant.

    When is your next period due? You will have to wait until then to take a test that will give accurate results.

    Unfortunately you are now playing the waiting game and have to wait to see if your next period comes prior to testing.

    Okay, another question I would like to ask you is about 'Emergency Pill', the morning after pill? Even though I think it's a bit too late now but like you said before, about enough time for the sperm to reach the egg and the egg to implant?

    The emergency pill can work up to 72 hours after intercourse. The longer you wait the less effective it is.

    If you are so afraid of getting then why are you engaging in sexual intercourse, especially unprotected? No one should engage in sexual intercourse unless they are fully prepared to have a child.

    Its probably too late for the "morning after" pill, but I don't think it would hurt to take one if you can get one today.

    Things happen. We all do mistakes. It's my first time without any protection.

    Yes, things happen and we all do make mistakes. But this could be a life changing mistake.

    If you are not ready to be a mother, I hope you are not pregnant and take this as a lesson learned.

    Not only am I a Registered Nurse, but I am also a mother of 4. Two of those children were conceived using BOTH the contraceptive pill as well as a condom and the pill and the condom were used correctly.

    You see, any time there is penile insertion there is a risk of pregnancy no matter what precautions you take.

    Okay, so tell me when is the right time to use that pregnancy test? This Friday or I should wait until next Monday to give me accurate results?

    The best time to take the pregnancy test would be when you miss your next period. You see, the first sign of pregnancy for most women is a missed period.

    I'm sorry, but you will have to wait until then as it takes time for the pregnancy hormone called HCG to build up in your system enough to register on a test.

    Read the instructions on the test. Generally they will say the most accurate readings can be gotten about 2 weeks AFTER you miss your period. So you could take one now, but it would be a waste of time and money.

    You made a choice to have intercourse, and another choice to not use protection. This is the consequences of your choices.

    Stop being a total douchebag, allright? I'm just looking for the answers (help) and not someone who would judge me all the way just because I didn't use any protection. I know damn well I made mistakes, but as of right now I seriously don't need your crap. Excuse my language, but I can't stand people like you.

    You need to calm down. There is nothing wrong with what ScottGem has said.

    In the end, if you are not ready to be a parent you should not be engaging in sexual activity. I understand how the "heat of the moment" works, I was a teen once myself.

    I don't see anything wrong in what he posted. No one here has judged you at all, we are only giving you the pure facts.

    He is correct in saying that if you take a test now you are only wasting your money because it is too early to test.

    He is also correct in saying that you made the choice to have unprotected sex and now you have to deal with the consequences to your actions.

    I deliver babies for a living. I have delivered babies to girls who got pregnant during their first encounter. I have also delivered babies to women who have been trying for 7+ years.

    Pregnancy is the luck of the draw. If you are not prepared then you should not be engaging. Plain and simple, end of story.
