DD took morning after pill then had sex again!

[Yepyepye]

Is there a chance she could get pregnant? She absolutely does not want to be pregnant but for some reason thought that taking MAP once would protect her from all unplanned pregnancies this cycle. She is in a right state. She's 18 and her boyfriend is lovely (also 18); they both agree they are too young for parenthood. She would have an abortion if she was pregnant but would obviously rather not have to go through this. The unprotected sex (apparently the condom fell off) happened only a few days after her period finished, so she took it at the most effective time from what I can tell. She's now coming up to when her period would normally be due but has been told it might be late. She had unprotected sex the second time about 2 weeks after the first time / after she took the MAP.
I can't find out if Levonelle stops ovulation entirely or just delays it, different websites saying different things, so I don't know what to say to her!

I could weep with the stress!

Thank you

Please tell her that the MAP is not designed as a long term birth control option. I’m pretty sure you should only take it a handful of times throughout your life

She used it because they had a contraception failure. That's when you're supposed to use it. She was sensible in getting it.

If you’re having these conversations it sounds to me like she may actually be pregnant and this is some sneaky way of telling you.

@Jellifulfruit literally can't translate what you just wrote I'm afraid but I doubt it had any relevance. Laters

Suuuuure… 😉

Sending you lots of love and light ❤️❤️❤️

@Jellifulfruit ahhh see, you can be nice! Wasn't so hard was it?

Recommend an implant - they are great!

OP, your daughter is lucky to have a mum like you ❤️ Caring, non-judgemental, practical and there for her.

I wonder what kind of parents some of the PPs are based on the VILE comments they've left here. Would their child turn to them at times of difficulty? Doubt it.

There was absolutely no suggestion she was intending to use it long term @Jellifulfruit

I really don't know why you're being so aggressive 😂

These comments are why a lot of you have daughters that would never come to you for help after making a mistake. Good grief!

It's lovely that your daughter is able to talk to you. I have four and can I just ask you to not repeat any of the things most of these 'lady's' are suggesting (not that I think you are that stupid)
Maybe discuss other better forms of contraception like the coil going forward and remind her she can always come to you when she needs to

I really hope you don't have daughters 🤣
Sons wount be much better but at least hopefully their future girlfriend will have a decent parent they can talk to about important things like look away now ....sex 🤯😵‍💫

Hi OP,

Has your daughter had an conversations about what she plans to do long term for contraception? She might benefit from looking into a copper coil (no hormones) they last for about 5 years once fitted, or an IUD (in her arm) which lasts for aout 3 years. It might be worth supporting her in accessing the information for these types of things. Of course they should still use condoms but it also means she won't have to panic each month if / when there are mishaps.

Hopefully she isn't pregnant!

THEY have made a mistake not just her!!!

I’m betting she’s already pregnant and she’s coming up with these silly stories so it all seems like a big mistake.

Didn’t you already say this upthread? She said she’d abort so what would be the point.

An emergency coil is the most reliable emergency contraception option and would have given contraceptive cover for the rest of the cycle and as long as she kept it.

OP did your DD do a pregnancy test yet? Most accurate is first time she pees in the morning, but suggest she does one today if she hasn’t yet.

if she is pregnant and develops pain and feels unwell she should go straight to her local early pregnancy unit or A and E if out of hours.

There could be slight increase risk of ectopic but more success in preventing loss of tube these days and your friend’s experience would be unlikely in the scenario.

Sorry about some of the unhelpful comments towards her.

If she isn’t pregnant, suggest she urgently considers booking an appointment to discuss reliable contraception options.

Her period could also be delayed because of taking the emergency contraception

What makes you think that? She says she’ll abort. So if that’s the case why not just say “I’m pregnant”?

This!

Once is 'an accident', twice is stupidity.

Any more than that and I would argue that she probably isn't adult enough to be having an adult relationship...

And how do you propose that you stop her having an adult relationship?
