Could I potentially be one of the 5% for whom the pill didn't work?

I would really appreciate people's advice as I am in a MASSIVE prediciment!

On the 28th of August (about 3 weeks ago) I got ridiculously drunk at a party (I've since decided to become teetotal after the consequence of my actions.)

Me and a guy ended up "hooking up". I remember sexual contact (oral) but nothing more. I remember telling him I did not want sex. I remember precious more of the night from that point onwards. The next morning he told me he'd tried to enter me but pulled out and was not wearing a condom. He didn't come. I'm not on birth control.

I freaked out and took Levonelle One Step (morning after pill) about 14 hrs after. Five days after I got a brownish fairly heavy dischrage for about 3 days. Then nothing more until now when I have started getting stomach cramps and feeling nauseous. (I do not have sore breasts however). My period is due in a few days.

I am so scared. Was the discharge breakthrough bleeding or implantation bleeding? I don't know if I'm pregnant. I wouldn't go as far to call it rape but I certainly did not want sex that night. I am 17, I'm predicted good grades and want to go to a good University, become a biologist studying animal behaviour and do reseach all over the world.

Why me? Why could I potentially be one of the 5% for whom the pill didn't work? If I'm pregnant I would consider abortion but I've always been against it. The baby would not have a Father around and I am by no means mature enough to be a mother. Am I wrong to think that selfishly?

Please help, I really do need some advice. And please don't be too judgemental. Whatever the outcome, I will always regret chosing to drink that night.

loopy agony auntPill,implant,seasonal patch. Lot's of choises.but one you can do all by your self it is Spermicides /I have not Idea what the UK has for regulation/dispensing of this product. Her in the COLONIES we have Drug stores that display it open ly with Fem products, Condums and Bacicly it costs 50 Cents per dose. . Cheap, insurance Since 6th grade my friends and I have used the 'Tulsa Torpedo' for protection against pregnancy. one little o.b. tampon wiped with olive oil. stick a V.C.F. film spermicide to it and insert it as far as you can [little added prod with the toothbrush]don't mention it to the perspective Candidate ORhe will take it as a signal you ARE More willing than you may be. It is a precaution[Girl Scout motto' Be prepared] As things get beyond Snorging parimeters you are not saying STOP NOW TAKE ME HOME. you are saying " I don't think we sould be doing this/ are you sure I won't get pregnant/ I want to go all the way BUT how can I besure you care for me/when you KNOW that is not his iPoD bumping you Monds then find the other FILM and put it in HIS condom as YOU put it on the be darn sure it is correctly fitted.some of us are using the latex strechy witst bands to go on him before the condom too that holds it in place better AS-WELL as makes for a wilder ride and slows him down. Make sure the spermicide gets in the tip of the condom if it breaks or tares down the side the sperm is killed. After you are sure the rest of the night is a kiss at the Door. install one more, leave it alone take the little o.b. out and flush it, but do not flush out the other it is working hard at killing zillions of 'Zygotes' your worst Enemy since Broccli.a lot of us are Boinking the daylights out of this section of the USA and our pregnency rate is better than the best in this nation of 14% unmarried knocked-up before 18.the PILL has to many FailS and cautions to trust it alone or even with Condoms pill is not all it is advertised to be, it makes money for BIG PHARM. It may be great in Clinical Trials but you won't be humpping in a Clinic very often.Ain't it ashyme the syme doctor that priscribed you the PILL, will prescribe for you the anti biotic tha nullifyes it. or will know your not protected during a regumin of sulfa drugs.DUH. .

tennisstar88 agony auntHe tried to enter you? Did he or did he not penetrate you? Now if he penetrated you without your consent then yes that's rape...and obviously there was no consent because you were passed out. But in a sense you were inviting with the oral sex, however that doesn't give him a free pass to rape you. If I were you I report him and not drink until you can responsible with it.

From what I hear the morning after pill is pretty effective..Nausea, irregular bleeding, dizziness, breast tenderness, and headaches are side effects from taking the morning after pill. And there's a chance your period might be slightly irregular. So no you're not pregnant, and besides if you were it doesn't happen that quickly you'd have to wait for next month's period. Please, please get on birth control if you are going to engage in sexual acts with guy and if you want a future. Drink responsibly or don't drink at all. Hope you have learned a lesson.
