Hey Angelchick,

First off, please use standard eglish in your posts - switching out words like "any" for "ne" is pretty confusing and hard to read.

Secondly, I'm not sure if i understand your question...if it has been more than 72 hours since you've had unprotected intercourse, then no, you cannot use the morning after pill - it has a very small window of effectiveness.

The best way to determine if you are pregnant is to use a pregnancy test, according to the package directions...you can use it as soon as the first day of a skipped period.

If you have irregular periods, how do you know if you're skipping one or not? The first day of your period would vary from month to month. When would you take the pregnancy test?

if your periods are really sporadic, then take the pregnancy test 7 to 10 days following the sexual encounter you suspect could have gotten you pregnant.
