Scared I might be pregnant...

If it is too late for the morning after pill and having the coil fitted as a safety net - try not to worry and get upset until you know whether or not you are pregnant. You probably aren't - it takes most people about nine months of trying to conceive during their fertile period to get pregnant - so don't start stressing out unless you know there is something to stress over.

Hope you get the result that you want - good luck. x x x

Really? Someone needs to tell my body that!

More realistically everyone is different, and some are more fertile than others. we wouldn't have so much contraception if it took most people 9 months :rotfl:

You could still get the coil OP if you are absolutely desperate not to become pregnant. There is now also a new MAP that can be taken for 5 days after unprotected sex but I don't know if it is available everywhere. Hope you get the outcome you want either way.

Realistically - On average it takes most people around nine months - obviously there are the exceptions of those folk that get pregnant straight away and those that take years to conceive naturally.

On average, 20% of all couples trying to get pregnant will not conceive in the first year of trying.
According to one study, 25% of couples get pregnant in the first month of trying, while 60% of couples trying to get pregnant do so within six months. On the other hand, 75% of couples get pregnant within nine months while 80% get pregnant within a year. Finally, some 90% of couples get pregnant within eighteen months of trying.
