Plan B and Trying to Concieve

This is an interesting first question.

You decided that YOU want another child? Does the person you're sleeping with know this as well?

Plan B will screw your body up. Temporarily. The one time I took it, I didn't have a normal cycle for nearly 3 months. Read up on other women's experiences. It's normal because your progesterone levels are haywire.

I would recommend that you really need to think about what you're doing here. Either you and your husband (?!) are sure you want to have a baby together, or you stop trying and have protected sex until you are.

If you took multiple tests, and had an early period the end of July, you are probably not pregnant from July 16th. However, in the event you try to take Plan B in the future, I think taking it 2 days after you had unprotected sex is probably very risky. The longer you wait, the less effective it is. My question is, if you were so sure you DIDN'T want a child in July, that you took Plan B, maybe you should question whether you do in fact want another child. Seems pretty fickle to me and you're talking about creating another life. Something pretty serious.

Gee, I'm sorry. I didn't SEE a QUESTION anywhere in the post. What was the actual "specific question" again?

J. J,
Aren't you being a little judgmental here, I don't think ANYONE has the perfect answer 100% of the time. I don't mean to sound like an awful person, but, what makes you think this is a website full of doctors, that should have answered your question right when you thought it should be answered. The majority of us can only tell you what our experince may have been with any given situation or circumstance. Why didn't you ask your doctor these questions? And yes, in response to your remark ,'you guess no one knows how to answer a specific question',... really ? Guess you could fall in that category or you wouldn't have asked in the first place. Talk about negativity, .... still smiling, :)

Please give us a chance to respond to your question. However, you remember that we are not doctors only moms.

You asked for advice on a public site and you must be prepared for any and all responses from people. Yes, you will get some "negative" feed back but it is not intended to put you down just to make you think of what you are doing.

We are not here to send you rainbows and unicorns. We are here to try to suggest ways to see things differently. You get three or four answers and judge the whole board by the response. That is not fair to us. I will end on that note and be polite.
