My fiance and me had unprotected sex the other night. We never do that, but we just got in the moment and it happened. Now he wants me to take a morning after pill. It hasn't been 72 hours yet and they say you can take them up to 72 hours. But I want to know how effective there are. I don't know what to do. While I know we aren't ready for baby. The thought of being preganant excites me very much! After looking I think I might have been in the timespan when it is possible to get preganent. Please give me your input!!!!

they are effective if taken within 72 hours sooo hurry up... just be careful because if you dont think that you are pregnant then i wouldnt take one because they are so strong and they can make you really sick... (stomach sickness)

Go and get the MAP. Even if there's only the slightest chance pregnancy could occur, if either one of you is not emotionally or economically ready for a baby, it is NOT the right time.
While at the clinic for the MAP, also get on some reliable BC - like the pill or shot or maybe discuss barrier methods like Lea's Shield...although that might not work because if you're willing to have unprotected sex in the heat of the moment, no barrier method will be effective. Go for a hormonal method and save yourself this type of anxiety in the future.

well ...... you really should talk to him about when you guys want to have kids because it seems you are ready and he isn't. NOT a good sign. you still have time to tak ethe morning after but move fast. and don't lie to him about having taken it when you havent' just because you want to get pregnant. that is a pretty crap thing to do to someone.
