david2010 Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Hello, Not sure if this is the right topic in the forums or not.....I've been dating a girl for a month. Her and I had many drinks and went back to my place and had sex. She is not on any birth control, I did not use any protection either. However, I did pull-out (which I know isn't all that effective). She claims she was about a week away from starting her period. Out of concern, we went to Walgreens and bought Plan B (emergency birth control). I remain skeptical if she took it as she was overly concerned with not wanting an upset stomach and the potential of missing work. My question is, what do you think the odds are she is pregnant? She claims she should have started today but hasn't. If she did take Plan-B can it interfere with her period? Thanks!
bean1 Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Didn't want an upset stomach or missed work? Is she aware of the concepts of "morning sickness", "labour", and "mat leave"? I would wager that she is either an idiot/ignorant of the birds & the bees, sterile, or on birth control and for some reason, isn't interested in telling you that. Anyways, it is normal for women to be anywhere from 1 days to a week late (some women can skip cycles). Women aren't as overly fertile as people think (keep all penis' at a 5 foot radius away!), so it is unlikely that she is pregnant, but of course it could happen. Use this as a learning lesson.
loser101 Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 watch her attitude. a woman should be able to look after herself (speaking as one). she should either ask you to wear a condom (she should have her own supply) or take care of birthcontrol in other ways - especially in the beginning of the relationship. as bean1 says, use it as a lesson too
Sam Spade Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Possible but unlikely. The way you describe it puts it ~20 days in her cycle, while the greatest chance is between days 10 and 13-15, as a general rule of thumb... When in doubt, Plan B is always a good idea
manugeorge Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 At this point, your anxiety is just interest paid on the problems of tommorow. NO ONE can predict the likelyhood of her being pregnant. Have her take a pregnancy test ASAP, until she gets her period at least. Hell, I'd even take one after I get my period. Ya just never know.
2sure Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Given her supposed reluctance to take the Plan B, and her now telling you that she is a day late.... She is making you sweat. At his point, thats it.

Sounds like she is making this pretty dramatic, yes. Women rarely worry when they are one day late - it is very common. A normal woman, who is facing the prospect of pregnancy with someone they've dated for 1 month (knowing that you aren't on BC), just doesn't act like that. Drama queen in the making!
Author david2010 Posted April 1, 2009 Author Posted April 1, 2009 Thanks everyone - it has me worried that's for sure. The more I playback everything the more I think she is looking to get knocked up personally. Let's assume she used Plan B - can that knock your period off? Thanks again

Thanks again The morning after pill is a super dosage of birth control (hormones, 4-8 pills in a 24hr time frame), so yes, it can cause a dramatic physical change including vomitting and period changes.
Author david2010 Posted April 1, 2009 Author Posted April 1, 2009 Not sure if it matters - this Plan B kit had 2 pills. 1 taken within 3 days (the earlier the better) followed by a second pill 12 hours later. Not sure if this matters or not...

Not sure if this matters or not... I took it the morning-after pill about 6-8 years ago, so I'm sure it has changed by then, but it is still a huge dosage of hormones, the first side affect that the doctor will advise is irregular periods.
