Eeeek is it safe to have unprotected sex a day after your period has finished???

[havetochangename]

I thought it was ok, but need reassurance.

Am a regular but had to change name as a few people know me on here in real life!

[tenalady]

Er no its not safe to have any unprotected sex!!

[Ledodgyherring]

It's considered one of the safest times pregnancy wise however I have a mate with an 11 year old dd who is an exception to this rule. I suggest the morning after pill if pregnancy is not an option.

assuming you have a 7 day period, you had unprotected sex on day 8, I believe sperm can live for 7 days, if you have a 28 day cycles you will release an egg on day 14, so its not ok, it depends on your cycles.

[havetochangename]

:(:(:( Shit

[havetochangename]

I am sooooooooooo stupid

[SecurMummy]

is it too late for morning after pill?

[VeniVidiVickiQV]

Well, yes, a little bit if you didnt want to get pg.

[SparklyGothKat]

when did you have sex? you can take the MAP up to 72 hours afterwards

[jampots]

really? sperm can live for 7 days?

[VeniVidiVickiQV]

Im sorry, that wasnt very helpful

Get morning after pill, yes.

[havetochangename]

I really don't want a baby. Would be totally the wrong thing.

[havetochangename]

Tonight about 10 :(

[havetochangename]

Doesn't the MAP increase your chances of cervical cancer? I had it once in my teens.

[Ledodgyherring]

Not after 2 goes I wouldn't have thought?

[SparklyGothKat]

go to the GP tomorrow or tescos or boots and get the MAP. Tescos and botts charge for it (about £25 I believe) but you can get it from the GP.

[SecurMummy]

Am not sure - which is worse, a slightly increased risk of this or being pg?

I don't know but I know where my money would go....

Actually think you are supposed to be "allowed" it 3 times.

um you don't ovulate day 14 of your cycle .. that's a statistical average .. you might ovulate day 6 or day 24 (someone on TTC board just posted that she got pregnant day 6) .. it doesn't matter how long your 'bleed' lasts you just count from first day

get the MAP from chemist

[SparklyGothKat]

I took it twice as a teenager, and once last year my GP never said that I couldn't have it. Have just googled how long sperm lives for, its 3-5 days.
(just don't tell my DH its not 7 days, or he will try it on every time after my period lol)

[SparklyGothKat]

I do twig! I have very regular periods and I know when I am OV. lol

[Twiglett]

do you chart then or use OPKs .. because I had regular periods too ... and certainly didn't ov day 14

[Twiglett]

not saying you don't you may well be Ms Average

[SparklyGothKat]

I get pains when I OV, so I know when its happening.

[Twiglett]

eeeek ... that's not conclusive .. be careful .. be verrry verrrry careful

[SparklyGothKat]

I don;t have unprotected sex (well once last year when I was drunk) I don;t want a baby.
