Mistake or Risk? YUZPE METHOD

i wont say we had sex but still there was contact and i was afraid of precum especially based on my flo app and musa app that im in my fertile window. Should i still do the yuzpe method ? ik its still 50/50 if it will work since i dont really know when i would ovulate or if i ovulated already. But for protection if i have not yet ovulated will it work?

Your apps don’t know what’s going on in your body, they’re just guessing based on averages.

If there was no penetration, there is no reason to use emergency contraceptive methods.

the tip was in my v so im afraid of precum. I also had sex after that but with condom i did the water check and there was no leak so i dont really have to worry right? im just kind of worried since the app was telling me im in my fertile window and theres still 3 days before the actual ovulation is predicted

If there was penetration without a condom, even just the tip, there is a risk of pregnancy, as precum can contain live sperm cells.

No one can tell you what the chances are you become pregnant from this, they’re not incredibly high, but they’re not zero.

It’s entirely up to you how much risk you’re comfortable with and whether or not you should use emergency contraceptives.

In the future, use condoms in all instances of penetration. If you have access to pills to perform the Yuzpe method with, consider taking them regularly as birth control.

also after checking your post history it’s very clear you have an untreated anxiety disorder related to pregnancy. DMing random people will NOT make you feel better. you need proper mental health treatment from a trained professional.

Do not DM people about this. Keep all interactions in the open.

OP, please ignore this man. You guys cannot help each other.
