If he didn't come inside you then your risk of pregnancy is lower, but it is still there. It's not a small risk, either.

Whilst the morning-after pill is effective for 72 hours, it drops from being about 90% effective if taken within the first 12 hours to being about 50% effective after 72.

Go and get the damn pill. Have you checked to make sure that the condom isn't lost inside you?

Former Member

If you miss the 72 hour window with the morning after pill, the coil had a 5 day window I believe, although it's a coil so you might want to bypass that option and make haste to go get the morning after pill.

Then make some proper choices about long term protection now that you are sexually active.

Former Member

Yes, you should definitely go and get it.

Walk In Centre, A&E, some pharmacies.

No its definately not still inside me...youd have to be a bit dim for that to happen surely?! Was on the bed next to me wen we finished...

Everywhere is shut now apart from A and E but am to far away from it to walk!! Does Boots chemist do it?? Could pop in there tomorrow morning but i have to leave for Wales at 11! I trust my bf in that if he said that he didnt take it off but still got that doubt!

Former Member

Boots will probably do it, worth ringing them up at ask first.

You have to be over 16 and you have to pay. If you ring your GPs practise first thing you may well be able to get an appointment before 11. You'll probably have to explain to the receptionist what yuo're after.

go get the pill hunny. I'm thinking its too late now to reply but i'm hoping you've already done it. it really isnt something you want to leave to chance. whether your bf took it off or not (altho it is odd that it just fell off and noone realised - your bf def should have as it feels very diff without - much better but with it being your first time then i dont blame you for not knowing) there is still a chance you could get pregnant.
hope things work out for you
