“Put it down. There’s no point in thinking it’s a bad thing. At least we love each other.” This was my last sentence sent to her.
Heh heh, believe me, those who are about to continue reading, some of you must be thinking that I have a mistress. Some are imagining all sorts of things since the first paragraph ended, and some have already scrolled away, not reading further.
…
“Go ahead, but I can’t promise how much I can help.” I replied to her after receiving a message sent around 9 PM.
“I had unprotected sex, and my boyfriend ejaculated outside, but I’m not sure if he was telling the whole truth. So, I bought emergency contraceptive pills and took them on the 4th day after having sex. Is there a risk of pregnancy? What can I do to reduce the risk during this time? The incident happened on August 1st.”
She asked a series of questions, so I had to separate her questions and statements into points as follows:
1. He ejaculated outside. This is not unusual, as in today’s porn, they do it raw and ejaculate outside, on the stomach, on the face, and even in the mouth. Ooh ooh ooh.
2. Not sure if the boyfriend was telling the whole truth.
Um… I don’t know about this, but with my wife, I wouldn’t even dare to think. She asks the most detailed questions in the world.
3. Bought emergency contraceptive pills and took them 4 days after having sex. The gynecologist would probably shake their head at this.
4. Is there a risk of pregnancy? And 5. What can be done during this time to reduce the risk?
“When was the first day of your last period? How many days does it usually last? How many days until the next cycle? And how many days did it last the last time?” This set of questions is standard for gynecologists. They want to assess ovulation behavior and menstrual cycles to analyze the risk.
“The first day of my period was July 21-22. It lasted 4-5 days and occurs every 30 days.”
Think about it. Her last period was on July 21, and it was regular. A rough calculation suggests that she would likely ovulate around August 3-4 (which is about 2 weeks from the first day of her period). And she had sex on August 1.
Based on the average lifespan of sperm in a woman’s body, sperm can stay at the end of the fallopian tube for about 1-2 days.
“In conclusion, it’s risky because it coincides with the middle of the menstrual cycle, and taking the pill was too late. Normally, it should be taken as soon as possible and not more than 3 days.” The emergency contraceptive pills on the market now usually contain 2 progestin hormone pills. The recommendation is to take both pills together within 72 hours, but the sooner you take them, the better the prevention compared to taking them late.
“So, just wait. If your period comes, it’s over. If it’s late, take a urine test.” That’s the advice I gave her.
“If my period doesn’t come by August 20, should I take a urine test? Should I buy a pregnancy test kit from the pharmacy to check, doctor?” It seems she is confident that this ovulation cycle is normal, so she can calculate the next cycle.
“Yes, I recommend testing at the end of the month. Importantly, withdrawal is not a very effective method of preventing pregnancy. Don’t do it often because, in one year, couples who use this method and have regular sex will get pregnant about 4-28 couples.”
“Normally, you can detect it in a month, right?”
“Usually, if it’s a week late, it will show two lines if you’re pregnant. But I think you should sleep now. The more stressed you are, the more your period will be delayed because it will prevent ovulation.” Yes, stress can cause abnormal hormone production in the brain, which can prevent ovulation, and when there’s no ovulation, there’s no period.
“Can I take birth control pills during this time, doctor? I’m really scared.”
“No use,” I quickly replied.
“Can’t reduce the risk of pregnancy anymore?” It seems she didn’t follow my advice to sleep.
“Too late.” Sub Thai translates from the word too late.
“You shouldn’t go without a condom, or take birth control pills regularly if you have regular sex. Birth control pills should be taken before ovulation, which means starting during your period.”
“I made a mistake. I feel really bad. It’s the first time I had sex. I feel really bad about myself. I’ll wait until the end of the month. Thank you, doctor, for your advice.” Read carefully. Is this really the first time having sex? Or the first time with withdrawal? Or the first time feeling bad? I guess it’s the last one, but whatever, it’s not my business.
“Put it down. There’s no point in thinking it’s a bad thing. At least we love each other.”
And importantly, the first time having sex, or even having sex with a loved one, no matter how many times, it should be the happiest thing in the world.

P.S. A good friend, an expert gynecologist in contraception, sent a message saying that within 5 days, an IUD can be used to help.
Oh, I forgot about that. Thanks to: Asst. Prof. Dr. Thanapan Choobun https://facebook.com/thanapan.choobun
