Megan, thanks for your reply. Ive been later then I am this month (8 days so far) but it always seemed to be only during the months that i was worried about possibally being pregnant. I guess worrying does have alot to do with it., In regard to your question, i took the pill 3 days later, probably about 65? (not good at math) or so hours after the incident, i know you are alowed 72 hours and i should have done it much sooner, and i would have, but the incident happend on a friday night, and the planned parenthood by my house has really strange hours. i got the pill the following monday. im sure i have nothing to worry about, but its nice to know there are people out there who care and understand and have been there before. thanks for the help. eryn
