I know it seems hard, but you have to relax. Stress can make you miss your period and that will only worry you more. Just cause you miss it though it doesn't mean for sure that you're pregnant, it could just be a tell tale sign. Just get a home pregnancy test, wait until after your period, if it comes, great, if it doesn't, test yourself to be sure.Good luck and I repeat, don't worry. It isn't the end of the world, many girls have close calls like this, many people have unprotected sex and nothing happens. You may feel that your chances are worse simply because you are now thinking about the consequences. Relax, discuss with your bf what you might do if you do turn out pregnant, and if you are, hit him for us.

Pregnacy Test, they dont cost much and it will put your mind at ease why wate and worry when you can get instant results?
-
Cause she has to wait till after her first missed period, or the pregnancy hormon wont be released yet :P
-
Didnt know that ^^ you learn somthing new everyday. Do you always have to wait until after you get your nearest period after sex before you can find out if your pregnant? Or is it because she had sex so close to her period?
-
You have to wait for the nearest period because if you're pregnant the body releases a hormone that stops the ovaries from releasing more eggs. That particular hormone is what pregnancy tests detect.
-
Ok thanks I get it now ^^
-
Thats not true, atleast any more its not true. I saw a commercial friday night for a new pregnany test. you can use it 5 days after you have sex. Its based on teh same thing that it detects those same hormones but it can detect them in a smaller amount. i cant remember the brand, and I didnt really pay attention to it cos I just dont care, no one in my house is getting pregnant and we are past the part of our lifes that we need to worry about it. I have no idea how accurate the test is but it is available now. Ill try to pay attention if I see it again on tv incase anyone is interested.
-
Yeah, thats one product. Most of them aren't that sensitive and the vast majority of the hormone isn't released until duing the period.
-
if you're pregnant the body releases a hormone that stops the ovaries from releasing more eggs.That is also true but the biggest thing it does is keep the uterine lining from shedding (menstruation) so that the egg can be implanted into the lining.
-
i cant remember the brand, and I didnt really pay attention I believe you are thinking about the brand "First Response"
-
Yeah, that too. I was gonna add it but the more I say gives a greater chance I'll get something wrong and it ruin the illiusion that I know what I'm talking about. And we wouldn't want that!
-
Oh now bob your smarter then a lot of people on hereFirst responce is one, How ever the really reliable ones (Im not saying that isnt reliable) EPT is the best one i have come acrossed.
-
Yeah, i dont see why if girls are worried they got pregnant they dont go get the morning after pill straight away the next day. I remember when my ex thought she was pregnant (we were both stupid kids) and I was like ok youre calling the sex hotline right now and made her call the sex info hotline lol. I want taking any chances and lucky they said that what we did the chances of pregnancy were very very low like 0.0000001%. but before we knew that we were gunna go the the pill straight away the next day. You cant take chances with somthing like a potential childs life. Put me of sexual activities for a long time... almost
-
allright i am still nervous but anyway... i got my period today so that means i probably wasnt ovulating and there is no chance i am going to get pregnant right?....
-
Generally speaking if you got your period you are not pregnant.
-
Technically just before and after your period are the times that you are less likely to get pregnant, so ya most likely dodged the bullet there. Congrats, and hit your boyfriend.
