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

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

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.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 03/06/2006 00:06

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

SparklyGothKat · 03/06/2006 00:06

jampots · 03/06/2006 00:06

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

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.

Ledodgyherring · 03/06/2006 00:08

Not after 2 goes I wouldn't have thought?

SecurMummy · 03/06/2006 00:10

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.

Twiglett · 03/06/2006 00:13

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 · 03/06/2006 00:14

I took it twice as a teenager, and once last year Blush 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 · 03/06/2006 00:15

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

Twiglett · 03/06/2006 00:17

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

Twiglett · 03/06/2006 00:17

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

SparklyGothKat · 03/06/2006 00:19

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

Twiglett · 03/06/2006 00:19

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