Urgent: Should I take the Morning After Pill?

Hi. I need some urgent advice! Here's my story:

I haven't taken any contraception before. Me and my boyfriend fooled around for quite a long time on Monday night (it's been about 41 hours since we started). My last period began 12 days before Monday. I had my thin cotton panties on, he didn't wear anything and we simulated sex (the tip of his penis would go almost as low as my clitoris area, on top of my panties), he never ejaculated, but I could feel some precum when I was touching him. He fingered my underwear several times in the same area (and my panties were kind of wet), there could have been a bit of dry precum on his fingers... changed my underwear before we went to sleep. I really worry that there might be a chance that I am pregnant. I got the Morning After Pill from the pharmacy, but haven't taken it yet, as I feel quite scared of the side effects, especially the serious ones like ectopic pregnancy, etc... Should I still take the pill (40 hours later), what are the chances that I'm pregnant? Since this morning I've been feeling some vaginal discomfort, even though I wasn't penetrated at all. During last night I felt flashes of mild lower abdominal pains and later upper stomach quick and light burn flashes and now some lower back pain (I've had these many times before, usually a few weeks before my period, which comes in every 32 days, I'm supposed to start ovulating about now, I'm not sure due to my excessive worrying). I'm quite anxious.. Some fatigue and dizziness flashed over me, as well as shortness of breath... Could those symptoms be caused just by my state of stress?

Please get back to me before the window closes if you strongly believe I should take the Levonelle, or at least if you could give me some peace of mind so I can relax a bit while waiting for a few weeks before taking a pregnancy test for reassurance.

No, I don't think that it is necessary. There is no chance that you are pregnant. I've never heard of sperm going through panties, he didn't ejaculate, you weren't ovulating, etc.

All of these symptoms that you are having are pychological. Even if you were pregnant you wouldn't have any pregnancy symptoms this soon.

Try to relax.

Re: Urgent: Should I take the Morning After Pill?

Thank you so much for the reply!

I pray and hope you're right!

Although I called the health helpline yesterday and they were the ones who recommended me the Plan B, it's true that I didn't give them too many details of my experience, but still they said that sperm can indeed pass through fabric. Apparently there are arguments about the types of fabric, that's why I mentioned cotton in my post, in case it proves relevant... And there is some sperm in precum, so this is what got me so worried in the first place...

I tend to over-analyze things and look at any logical possibility and therefore get anxious easily. The thought that I might be pregnant is quite scary right now.

Thank you again for your reply!
