Is my friend pregnant?

we’ve tried to take her to a clinic to be checked for STDs but she wont go. she wouldn’t take a test either because she said she’d rather not know. tbh, I think she’s really scared by the whole thing she would normally use protection but they were both drunk and had sex in her back garden. her mum walked in (or OUT) on them. must have been embarrassing. her mum gave her a lecture about protection and she said she’d used it.

As ichibanarky said some girls are more fertile…I got pregnant 3 times, the first I was on the pill, the second I was on the patch and the third while using condoms and spermicide…sometimes things happen that you can’t control.

As for her chances…the morning after pill works the best if taken within 24 hours. If she had sex in the middle of her cycle then she probably has a higher chance of getting pregnant (although all girls are different). The best thing she can do is calm down and take a pregnancy test if she misses her period…but getting stressed about it before that isn’t going to help her.

The chance of being pregnant from a one time encounter and using the morning after pill isnt nearly 1 in 2… maybe the effectiveness goes down by 50%, but the overall chance isnt really that high (make no mistake, even if the odds are 1 in 100, she could be that 1)… so just get her to calm down, STOP having unprotected sex, and in a couple of weeks if she hasnt gotten her period she should take a test. Also, she honestly should go get checked out for STDs… a pregnancy could be the least of her worries

Anytime you have unprotected sex, you have a chance of getting pregnant. Some girls are more fertile than others and get pregnant much easier. The morning after pill is not always effective.

We don’t know how fertile your friend is, nor do we know all the details, so all we can say is - if she had unprotected sex, there’s a chance she could be pregnant.
