A 'How the body works' Question...
My boyfriend and I had sex 2 days after my period ended, and we had a condom mishap. I'm just wondering is it true that this close after a period it is unlikely to become pregnant? I'm not on the pill (I'll be looking into it now) and I have taken the 'Morning After pill' about 3-4 hours after the accident... What do you think?
It depends on when you ovulate. Generally, no, you are not ovulating so soon after your period. It varies by woman, but is usually 12-20 days (broad range, I know) after the first day of your last period.
You took the morning after pill, so you should be safe regardless.
Good idea on looking into another form of BC though.

Whoever said anything was possible obviously never tried slamming a revolving door.
The plan B pill will have likely done its job because you took it within the 72 hour time frame. 2 days after your period your body is basically in a neutral position with not much action happening with regards to the menstrual hormones LH, FSH, and progesterone...estradiol levels are going up a slight tad but not enough to kick start anymore ovulation processes. If you did not use the plan B then you would have more cause for worry but since you did and did so in a very quick fashion I would say you are not...however you can take a pregnancy test in a few days just to calm your nerves.
There are those who believe that dictionaries should not merely reflect the times but also protect English from the mindless assaults of the trendy.
