kyklosgalaktikos: hi again, I was also worried about another situation (stupid me). I had sex twice today (unprotected, pull out method). I was wondering, since my ovulation days are on the 8th-12th, could I get pregnant because of this? I was going to grab another Nchoice but planned parenthood is closed tomorrow due to labor day. :T do you think that if I get one on tuesday I'll be safe? Since sperm lives inside the body for six or so days & in six days I ovulate. Unless NChoice messed up my ovulation? can it?

Hi kyklosgalaktikos,

Emergency contraception can be taken up to 120 hours after unprotected sex or sex where the method of birth control failed, however, with Next Choice the sooner you take it the more effective it is. Emergency contraception can affect your menstrual cycle and ovulation does not always occur on the same day and while it generally occurs in the middle of a female’s menstrual cycle it can happen at any time, even if a female has her period.

If you go to Planned Parenthood you might want to also be tested for STDs and talk to them about a hormonal birth control option. You mentioned before that you are bulimic, there are hormonal birth control options that do not require taking the pill, which might be a better option for you. They can counsel you on your options.

Yo find a Planned Parenthood near you, you can visit their website or call 1-800-230-PLAN (7526).
