A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I had sex on Wednsday night, I'm almost 100% certain we used a condom but I cant be certain as we had both been drinking. My period started today but I'm still worrying about being pregnant although the chances are really slim . I'm thinking of going to get the morning after pill tomorrow which I think is the last day I can get it but I'm not sure whether I should or not? Am I just being silly ?

ihavetoomanythoughts agony auntThat's good you got the pill. Were you still within the working time frame of the pill though? You might still want to take that test just in case. Also, I'm not sure if this is what you meant, but you ovulate in-between periods, not in the middle of one.

Hi

I'm the poster of the question - thanks for your advice I had been worrying about it so I went to get the pill today. I am pretty sure my chances of getting pregnant were very slim as I am like clockwork and am nearly certain I always ovulate during the middle of my period also my concerns based on the protection we used were more I had no idea if the condom had come off or split as we were drunk. Thanks for the advice.

Probably get the pill, unless you do find evidence you used a condom. Besides an abortion, or God forbit a kid, is more expensive.

ihavetoomanythoughts agony auntIf in doubt, get the pill. Even if you used a condom, there's no guarantee you guys put it on properly to begin with or checked for spills or tears after intercourse. The sooner you take the morning after pill, the more effective it is.

The bleeding you see could be your period or it could be implantation bleeding when an embryo attaches to the uterine wall. If your period doesn't look normal, I suggest you take a pregnancy test. Even if it does look normal, you might want to take one anyway for peace of mind.

chigirl agony auntIts too late for the pill now... And yes, you should have taken it. Consider tha alternative if youre not "just being silly", you would just be pregnant instead. Buy the morning after pill, read the leaflet, and then keep it for next time you cant remember. Always better to be safe than sorry.

A female reader, anonymous, writes (1 March 2013):

If you started your period how can you be pregnant at the same time? That's just not happening usually. Period is the opposite of pregnancy. Little bleeding during pregnancy is sometimes occurs but you would know that it's not period, it's just a little bleeding.
