Conflicted on whether to take Plan B after he supposedly came outside during unprotected sex - Lemmy.World

Hi, please be kind with me. I’m feeling really vulnerable and conflicted about this. I had a bit too much to drink and had unprotected sex with a guy who was sober and came on my back, but it also got on the bed. I was too out of it to remember the exact timing but he said there’s no need to take plan B. I’m not on any birth control. I’ve taken plan B twice before and read stories of how awful it is. I did feel very depressed and overwhelmed in the weeks after taking it, but that could also be explained by stressors that I was dealing with at the time. I’m worried about the side effects, especially considering this would be my third time taking it. Should I take plan B? Can anyone who has taken it multiple times share about the side effects and their experiences with it? Is the pull-out method less risky than I’m thinking it is, or is this not worth the gamble even if I didn’t need Plan B? A pregnancy would be a huge disruption, and I don’t even want to imagine it.

Disclaimer: take plan B. Use a fucking condom for Christ sake. HIV is real, you are gambling with two lives, yours and that of potential offspring in the future.

Now just for educational purposes: there are only a few days where you can actually get pregnant during the month. Open up Wikipedia, remember when your period came last and count the days. If its not even close you don’t need plan B. But get to an obgyn and get a set of STD tests done.

full disclosure: I’m a man and a proud father of a girl that came to be because I relied on my wife to count correctly…

Please act responsibly and take better care if yourself. You are loved and you are worth that. Please!

Not every woman’s cycle is completely regular though - counting days is good for better chances of having a child, but it’s unreliable if you don’t want one. So I’d say OP should take plan B anyway.
Ideally she would have measured her temperature daily and observed a spike when she is ovulating. And if her cycle is regular.
