I'm not on birth control and I will admit I was stupid for not using a condom I am 18 years old and super embarrassed I have mixed feelings but I had it with the guy I have been dating for more than a year. I have been freaking out because of pre cum. Even though he thinks he didn't pre cum inside of me there is no for sure way of knowing he didn't even cum while we had sex. I jacked him off after with my pants and stuff on and he cumed in his shorts . I didn't bleed or anything like that just felt tons and tons of pain when I went to wipe after I peed later there was pink stuff on the toilet paper . Can someone please tell me will I end up pregnant ? I took plan b right after having sex about less than three hours. I'm on my first day of being fertile does this mean I can get pregnant even if I took plan b? I don't ovulate for another 5 days? Just got off my period 4-5 days ago and I'm suppose to start again the 9th of next month it's currently the 21st. Someone please tell me will this plan b work ? Will I end up pregnant ? I'm devastated and have been crying all day I don't know how to feel besides ashamed and embarrassed and stupid . I can't afford to get pregnant
Just lost my virginity today, no condom, took plan b a little less then three hours after. help ?

No one can tell you if Plan B will work. We'd have to be Mother Nature to know that. The only way of knowing, is to do a pregnancy test, if your period does not come. Your next period is often late, after taking Plan B.
Taken within 12 hours, Plan B is said to be around 90% effective. However, if you are already ovulating, then it may not be in time to stop that happening.
If it can't stop you ovulating, then there are a couple of other things that Plan B is 'thought' to be able to do, but the Manufacturer does not guarantee them as being possible:
It 'may' stop the sperm meeting the eggs/ovum.
It 'may' make the lining of your womb unsuitable to grow a pregnancy.
The 90% figure is based on the Pill being able to stop ovulation. The other two things are just possibilities.
You say you are on your first fertile day, but how do you know? It takes months of monitoring your temperature, cervical fluid & position of your cervix (& it's opening), to know when you are actually ovulating. Day 14 is a guide to when you'll ovulate, but some women are earlier or later. If you've worked all that out, then you will of course know for sure.
In the days leading up to ovulation, your mucus changes consistency, so that it can preserve any sperm you can come into contact with, holding it until an egg can be fertilised. This means that you can become pregnant from sex you had up to 6/7 days prior to ovulating.
It is less likely to become pregnant from pre-ejaculate/pre-cum, but not impossible. I'd be very suspicious of someone who said he had not produced pre-ejaculate, because that tends to be one of the first parts of him getting turned on. If he's inside you, he wouldn't really know he was producing it!
Pre-ejaculate can still contain many sperm.
Pre-ejaculate can also give you STDs (sexually transmitted disease). If your guy hasn't been checked recently, then I'd suggested getting checked out, to ensure you're in the clear.
If you want an extra emergency measure, then you can have an IUD/Coil fitted. It's a couple of minutes procedure that can be carried out by a doctor, & it is placed inside your uterus. It can be left in place as long term contraception. That should give you extra protection against possible pregnancy, & solve your longer term contraception concerns.
You might bleed after taking Plan B, or you might not. Sometimes you do, sometimes you don't. It's not indicative of the outcome (i.e. it doesn't mean the pill has worked or hasn't worked).
Sometimes that bleeding can be spotting (pink/brown/red) or it can be anything up to a heavy flow. You bleeding could also be irregular for a little while.
As I said earlier, you next actual period may well be late, due to the Plan B, or due to pregnancy. You can do a pregnancy test once you get to the day you don't get your period, so that you'll know either way.
You may get lots of other hormonal symptoms, just like those you would get from a period or pregnancy. These are commonly caused by the Plan B, because it's a huge dose of hormone for your body to handle. These could be things like; cramping, spots, bloating, leaking/sore breasts, nausea, headaches, tiredness, backache etc.
The pink stuff (blood) on the toilet paper is totally natural after your first time. It's the hymen (the piece of skin that partially covered the opening to the vagina) being broken by intercourse. It will heal quickly & on its own, although you may want to avoid scented soaps or bubble baths down there for a couple of days. Just to prevent it stinging. Salt in the bath will help it heal.
Thank you for taking the time to let me know all this information. Since he didn't cum inside of me and I took plan b less than three hours after ? Do you think I'm in the " clear " as most people would say ?
Also my period ended five days ago ? Can this mean I have already released an egg? Or does an egg get released 14 days after? Does plan b work better if my egg isn't released yet, also can it still work it there was already an egg there? Also how long does it take for the sperm to transition it's self and meet with the egg, I know it takes time but how long ? Minutes? Hours? Do you think I can be pregnant ? Even though he didn't cum at all near me or inside of me but rather in his pants . Only thing I'm worried about is pre cum? And u said it's hard to get pregnant off precum, so do u think I'm in the clear since he didn't cum inside of me and I took the pill less than three hours after ?
No I don't think you're in the clear. I think there is a chance you could become pregnant, which is why I recommended a second emergency measure, if you wanted the odds to be more in your favour.
The first day of your period is Day 1 of your cycle. Many women ovulate around Day 14, but that is not every woman. As I said... some are sooner some are later.
In the 6 ish days leading up to day 14 (so from around day 7/8 the mucus in your vagina can change to preserve sperm, as I said in my last post. This means that sex you have around that time, can preserve his sperm (even from pre-ejaculate), to wait around for sperm that might come down as much as 6-7 days later. You would be approaching that time, especially if you ovulate slightly earlier than day 14, so no, you are not in the clear.
It's less likely to become pregnant from pre-ejaculate, but many women do, so yes, you could get pregnant.
If you're worried, ask for an IUD to be fitted.
You say you are on day 10, so you are right around ovulation. Even if you don't ovulate for a few days, your body can hold on to his sperm from his pre-ejaculate, & fertilise an egg.
*Sorry, the word eggs should replace ''sperm' that might come down' in the paragraph:
'This means that sex you have around that time, can preserve his sperm (even from pre-ejaculate), to wait around for sperm that might come down as much as 6-7 days later'
Oh, & in answer to your other question, as per the first answer I gave you, Plan B only basis it's reliability on being able to prevent ovulation. It does not give figures on the other ways in which it might work, because they aren't proven. I would work on the basis that if it was not able to postpone your ovulation, then you could well get pregnant.
Instead of leaving it to chance, I'd be channeling my energy into finding a clinic that could fit me an IUD/coil, unless you have decided you want to risk it.
You only have 120 hours from the unprotected sex, to get an IUD fitted, in order to prevent pregnancy.
I am not on day 10, it is only been 6 days since my last perood?
How long was your last period?
5 days long it started on the 12 ended on the 16th . My calander says my expected ovulation day is the 26. I had unprotected sex, no cum ( just worried of precum ) on the 21st, ( calander says this is day 1 of being fertile ) less than 3 hours after so like 2.5 hours I took plan b. Now this is all just coming from the calander which isn't always accurate . I've heard some people who were ovulating and had unprotected sex ( the guy cums inside them ) have taken plan b and didn't get pregnant . So my chances with no cum only being fertile and taking plan b as soon as 2.5 hours where would my percentage be ?
Day 1 of your period is Day 1 of your cycle. If it lasted 5 days, that means Day 5 was your last day. Then you said that was 5 days ago that it ended, so that means you're now on Day 10/Day 11.
I've already covered the info on how long your mucus can preserve sperm for, & about pre-ejaculate containing sperm, so I'll not repeat it, but I'll post a comment containing the research about per-ejaculate containing sperm, & you can make your decision as to whether you want to take extra precaution.
This extract is the one I'm referring to:
'A Surprising New Finding
Pre-cum is made in the Cowper’s gland, and sperm is made in the testicles. Pre-cum and sperm come from two different places, so if a guy hasn’t ejaculated recently, there shouldn’t be any sperm in his pre-cum. At least, that’s what was thought until now.
To determine whether pre-cum could contain sperm, researchers had 27 random participants masturbate multiple times and collect a sample of their pre-cum on a petri dish before ejaculating. The researchers then analyzed these samples to find out if they contained any sperm. Researchers were surprised by what they found: 41 percent of the men had traces of semen in their pre-cum. Ten of the 27 participants actually had sperm in their pre-cum.
This means that a little over a third of the participants had sperm, which would be able to fertilize an egg, in their pre-cum. Now, before you freak out and immediately assume that pre-cum is just as likely as sperm-filled semen to cause a pregnancy, there are a couple of things you should know. First of all, the guys who had sperm in their pre-cum always had sperm in their pre-cum, and those who didn’t have sperm in their pre-cum never had it in their pre-cum.
Second, since pre-cum is produced in much smaller quantities than ejaculate, there is a lot less sperm in pre-cum than there is when a guy fully ejaculates.
Why Risk It?
So what does this mean? For starters, it is important that teens realize that they cannot be completely sure that pregnancy will not occur if they practice pulling out as their birth control method. It’s also important to realize that many guys cannot tell exactly when they are going to ejaculate, so there is always the risk that the guy will not pull out in time.
A pregnancy can occur when sperm are in the vagina or even just on the vaginal opening. In the event that the guy successfully pulls out, there is also the risk that his pre-cum will contain sperm. Even though the amount of sperm is much lower in pre-cum, it still might be there and this means that there is a chance of pregnancy. Is that a risk you want to take? And remember that pre-cum, whether it contains sperm or not, absolutely can transmit sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), so pulling out provides no protection against STDs.
I know that sometimes in the moment it seems like too much of a hassle to put on a condom, and you think to yourself, Hey, things will be fine if I pull out. Well, in those moments, remember that pre-cum isn’t guaranteed to be sperm-free. Condoms are made to protect people from both STDs and unplanned pregnancies, so why not use them? After all, it’s always better to be safe than sorry.'

Update , I have been spotting two days after I took plan b, after about 5 days in total counting the days I was spotting I started getting more blood enough to wear a pad. Today is my second day wearing a pad it started off very light then one night I had horrible cramping( worse then usual ) in the middle of the night and I had to get up to go to the bathroom. I looked down and I noticed there's long , bloody, discharge hanging down from my vagina making a puddle of dark blood at the bottom of the toilet. It's my second day wearing a pad it's still pretty heavy. Is this my period ? I'm not due for my period until January 14th
Nope, that's the Plan B. All totally normal. It could get very heavy & you could see clear discharge in it.
Your actual period could well be several weeks late, if the Plan B bleeding is that heavy. It takes time for the lining of the womb to build up again. You can still do a pregnancy test, once you miss it, though. That will put your mind at rest about pregnancy.
The good news (I assume) is that if the bleeding is heavy, then it is highly unlikely any pregnancy would occur. It's flushing out the lining of the womb that would be needed to implant a pregnancy into.
Okay thank you so I shouldn't expect this to be my period even though it's one week early ? Should I be waiting for another period ?
Any bleeding that happens within around a week of when you've taken Plan B, is generally caused by the Plan B (unless you take it right at the time your period is about to start). Your actual period is likely to be later than it would have been. Everyone is different, so it's difficult to say exactly. It's just a case of waiting to see.
