If you took it in time and turnes out your not pregnant then get on BC pills or something right away find out what is best for you. Not to sure about the period thing sorry. But next time have him wear 2 condoms if you have strong feelings not to have a child right now. Good luck and I hope things turn out right for you.:) [ stefplus7's advice column | Ask stefplus7 A Question ]
Peeps answered Wednesday September 15 2010, 2:54 am: I read that plan B is about 75% effective for the average user. I'm not entirely sure how accurate that is at this moment. I know, for a fact, it isn't 100% effective though.
Nothing is 100% safe. Nothing can gaurentee you won't or can't get pregnant. You should never rely on just one method of pregnancy protection.
Most women typically have their periods soon after taking Plan B because the hormonal fluctation is so strong and unnatural that the body sends strong signals to expell the uterine lining fast.
It doesn't mean it is always effective though, of course.
If you're pregnant then you're pregnant and you'll have to take it from there. Chances are you probably aren't though since the condom was caught early after the tear and you took Plan B as soon as possible.
You still took a risk though.
Every time you have sex you take that risk. There will always be accidents and surprises. The human body was meant to reproduce so getting it to not do that goes against nature, really. It's pretty hard to just tell your body, "Ok, shut if off! No babies right now," when that's just what it does. It's like any other normal bodily function, really.
Next time be more prepared so you won't be as scared.
Talk about the possibilities with your partner ahead of time. Just in case.
Use a condom -- and spermicidal lubricant. Hormonal birth control pills are a good method to use as well.
Be smart. Be safe. Protect yourself. Sex might sound like fun now but when you have a 2 month old screaming at you in the middle of the night you will probably have second thoughts to that. You have the rest of your life to screw around (pun totally intended) so take extra precautions for your own health. Your own future.
You have ever right to be paranoid. From here you should start taking more precautions to protect yourself from pregnancy. Open up the lines of communication with your partner so that if you DO get pregnant by him you both will be on the same page and you can get some reassurance.
