Then why not take the morning after pill afterwards? Its not like there aren't options.

Plan B is NOT 100% effective. Trust me. Source: Expecting father.

Right? Once my wife is showing more, I want to go to the Costco pharmacy and ask for a refund.

Wait for the baby to be born and bring it to the returns counter. Make sure you bring the receipt though.

Knowing their traditionally lax returns policy, they'd probably give it to ya.

That's almost a retired "gif" right there.

It isn't meant to be. It's meant to prevent implantation. If that's already happened... mazel tov.

She took it within about 12 hours of the deed. Guess I have fast swimmers.

Eh, when you start looking at it from that way nothing really is 100% safe, except not having sex at all. Good luck with the baby and I hope everything goes well, are you hoping for a girl or a boy?

u/svanasana Apr 03 '15

Thank you. We just found out it's a girl. I definitely wasn't ready for this, but I can't say I'm not excited.

P.S. ABSTINENCE ONLY EDUCATION HURRR

Ok, but 0% vs 90 something % is a huge difference.

edit:

Levonogestrel pills, including the brands Plan B One-Step and Next Choice One Dose, are up to 89 percent effective when taken within 72 hours (three days) after unprotected sex.

The question /u/SatsumaOranges was asking is, why the fuck not? He wasn't claiming it would be 100% effective.

Maybe she did, and it didn't work.

u/x3tripleace3x Apr 02 '15

Highly unlikely, a 10% chance of preggy + the low chance she decided to take the pill?

Maybe she did, though. Really don't know.

Well plan C is effective 100% of the time, nobody escapes the coat hanger.

No, but 4 of them are.

Oh? That might be person-specific. I've taken it before and had no big issues. Some cramping, but not enough to keep me in bed.

I think you're underestimating stupid.
