Can you be pregnant if you took a pregnancy test 2 weeks after your period and it was negative and you took Next Choice 2 days after intercourse?

Hi Anonymous,
Vaginal itching and a creamy, light green vaginal discharge signals an infection, possibly trichomoniasis.

Trichomoniasis is a common sexually transmitted infection caused by a microscopic, one-celled parasite called Trichomonas vaginalis. This organism spreads during sexual intercourse with someone who already has the infection.

Symptoms include clear, white, greenish or yellowish vaginal discharge, strong vaginal odor, vaginal itching or irritation,pain during sexual intercourse and painful urination.

Make an appointment with your healthcare provider. You need to be examined and treated.

yeah..sometimes, it's cream and sometimes light greenish...and yes, i am having vaginal itching..i think a week after the intercourse..what should i do?

Hello Anonymous,
You did the right thing.
Does the vaginal discharge look like cottage cheese? Are you having any vaginal itching? If so, you might have a yeast infection.

so, did i do the right thing?! after i took Postinor, i had so much cream colored discharge this past few days..was that normal?! thank you!

Hello Anonymous,
The pull-out is not an effective method of birth control. There is always the risk that sperm leaks out before the guy pulls out.

The manufactures leaflet directs the user to take one Postinor-2 within 72 hours following intercourse and another 12 hours after taking the first pill.

I found a website, pharmalogikblogspot.com, that advises users to take as single dose, ie 2 tab at once as soon as possible for increased compliance.

The efficiency or effectiveness of Postinor decreases as more time passes.

You followed the manufacturer's directions correctly. You are safe.

hello Maryann,

he pulled out his thing when he come..but to make sure, i went to the pharmacy 2 days after the intercourse and asked for the morning after pill and she gave me Postinor 2.the pharmacist told me to take 2 tablets in 1 shot.but what i did is took the first one and another one 12 hours later..am i safe?

thank you!l

i want to add this to my previous message.. that he pulled out his thing when he come..and yesterday, May 7, 2012 i took one morning after pill (Postinor 2) around 9:50pm..and will take the other one tomorrow in the next 12 hours..! i read the leaflets inside and it says take the first one should be taken within 72 hours and the other one is in the next 12hours..but the pharmacist told me to take 2 tablets in one shot..!

so is it ok to take the morning after pill even though my partner pulled his thing out? i am just worried..so i took one yesterday to make sure that i won't get pregnant..

i had an unprotected sex last Saturday morning, May 5, 2012...i had my last period on April 20, 2012 and been on a birth control pills for a year..but i stopped taking them..my last pill was on March 18, 2012..

so, i want to know if there's any possibilities for me to get pregnant? im planning also to take "the morning after pill" to make sure..! as it's Monday here today in the country where im at, so it's already 2days now when the thing happened..

hope you guys could help me..im worried...

thank you so much..hoping for your soonest reply..

Hello Anonymous,

Taking a pregnancy test 2 days after unprotected sexual intercourse is too early. A pregnancy test detects hCG levels. As I stated in my above response to you, hCG levels are detected in urine about 12 to 14 days following conception.

Next Choice is effective in preventing pregnancy if taken within 72 hours or 3 days following unprotected sex. You did this, so it is very unlikely that you are pregnant.

Within 24-hours after fertilization, the egg begins dividing rapidly into many cells. It remains in the fallopian tube for about three days. So, even if you did conceive on April 29, by the time you took Next Choice. the fertilized egg was still in your fallopian tube.

Next Choice works in three ways:
the release of an egg from the ovary (ovulation)
fertilization of the egg (by the sperm)
attachment of the egg (implantation) to the uterus (womb)
In your case, if an egg was fertilized, Next Choice would prevent attachment of the egg to the uterus.
