so friday night i hooked up with this chick and the rubber busted (apparently before I did). you guys know what that means...

so she had some morning after pills and she did take it the next morning, im just wondering how effective these things really are and if i shoudl be worried?

Morning after pills are incredibly effective and there's a good possibility you coming into her didn't even get her pregnant. I've pulled it off a couple off times thankfully.

I wouldn't worry in your situation.

But then there's the possibility that she just lied about taking the pill. Girls will do that. I had to say it before somebody else on totse did. Hopefully this is a girl you think you cant trust. If not I'm sorry for bringing you up and then tearing you down.

If you know she took it, your 100% fine.

I think the bigger problem is that she stocks morning after pills, even before something goes wrong. And on top of that, the condom broke? Go get yourself tested, buddy.

Haha wow, never even thought about that. Nice call.
I quote you too much.

can people start referring to it as emergency contraceptive pills (ECP)? calling it the morning after pill makes it sound less of a big thing than it is.

i'm pro choice, but ECP really messes up with your body, it should be used in EMERGENCIES. people seem to think that this is an ok thing to be taking regularly, which it isn't. yes, this would be an appropriate time to use it.

however:
1. as previously mentioned, why does she have a stock ready? are you sure it's not just birth control pills? i'm not sure, but i think here (australia) they're not just going to hand them over so you have a few ready, it's asking for them to be misused (girl takes two to be doubly sure she's not pregnant, ends up flooding her system with hormones)

2. in future, try to use two methods. ie birth control pills + condom, or get her the nuva-ring thingo. it makes situations like this less scary because there's a backup.

well i saw her take it right in front of me and i know she doesnt WANT to have a kid right now so unless it was a different type of pill or something i should be in the clear.

and nah she wasn't on birth control either. i don't know why she keeps a stock of them honestly, she isn't exactly a slut (i've known her for a while) but i guess it's just for situations like this.

Sounds pretty safe then.

But they only give you one, they don't let you "stock" them.
Also, they stop working as well after the first one, their efficiency goes down quite a bit after the first or second.

Thats your uninformed opinion then is it!

"Taken up to three days after unprotected sex (hence the term "morning-after pill" is a bit of a misnomer) emergency contraception has a 95% success rate within 24 hours, which falls to just 58% between 49 and 72 hours. So there seems to be a very reasonable argument for women to keep a small, ready, supply in their bathroom cupboard. Yet current Royal Pharmaceutical Society guidelines state that pharmacists should only supply it at the actual moment of need.

In contrast, doctors and family planning clinics are allowed to provide emergency contraception in advance (at their own discretion) but very few women are aware they can ask for this."

Girls take note of the last paragraph.

^idk where he is from, but ECP is over the counter in the US, so it is possible.

Is it?
Doesn't sound like a good idea with all these retards jumping about having sex without really realising what they're doing. And don't you need a certain dosage depending on your blood pressure and weight? When I went for it the doctor tried taking my weight and blood pressure because it has some impact on the pill itself or something.

No. Welcome to Totse. If you want medical terminology, go to RIY
