My boyfriend and I had sex a week ago for the first time, it was dumb but we had unprotected sex but he did not finish inside me. Being nervous about being pregnant I bought the Next Choice pill and took it approximately 21 hours after we had sex. It was about 18 days after my last period. My period should be starting any day now but it hasn't yet. Should I still be freaking out about if I am pregnant or not?? help me I need opinions!

Hi Savages,
Emergency contraceptives are very effective taken within about 72 hours so it is unlikely you are pregnant.
It is more likely you are having some side effects of the pill. These include your period being early or late, or heavier or lighter than usual.
The timing may be off this month but should return to "normal" shortly.
Hope it helps.

Precum helps clean the urethra. If he hasn't ejaculated recently it is considered not to contain sperm. If he has recently ejaculated, and not urinated, then it may contain sperm. How much, can't say. Urinating is said to help flush the urethra.
How long to fertilize the egg can vary. It is not instantaneous. It can take from about 1 to 5 days depending upon when you ovulate. Sperm can survive up to about 5 days. Implantation of a fertilized egg could take 6-12 days or so.
Hope it helps.

Do you think I should take a pregnancy test in about a week? If I don't get my period??

I don't think testing is necessary but if you want, wait until at least 2 weeks, preferably 3, from when you had sex. It takes some time for the hormone the tests look for to rise high enough to be detected.
When you test, use your first morning urine. It's not the quantity you want, it's the concentration - dark.
I don't think you're pregnant. Not after taking the pill.

Thanks so much for all your help!! And I dont know if it's just me but I feel like I'm gaining weight, is that possibly from stress? And when I go to the bathroom it either comes out real dark it almost clear..is that good or bad?
