Pennyroyal Tea?

Malkog · #1 2007-07-20, 07:15

I'm in a bit of a fix. I'm 17, in my last year of high-school and haven't had sex with my current girlfriend. We have mucked around and stuff but as soon as I ejaculate we're both really careful.

But she's 6 days late for her period. She only told me yesterday, and it got me pretty scared. Logically I know she shouldn't be, but I guess there is a chance.

So I bought some pregnancy tests, and she'll use one tomorrow. But my question is about pennyroyal tea. Supposedly if you use fresh pennyroyal leaves and some other herbs, it cleanses the uterus or something like that. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

So has anyone experienced or does anyone have knowledge about this and whether it will work to kill whatever cells are forming there?

Thanks, I'm shitting my pants right now.

As long as you didn't penetrate her, then why be paranoid about a pregnancy?

although the test would be a good thing, the human body can just do things like that.

First time my girlfriend and I had sex, she was late a few days, and got incredibly paranoid, you should have little to no worries, but I guess it is a lot worse for your girl. The pregnancy tests will make her feel better.

I haven't heard much about pennyroyal tea, but I imagine it not doing much, depending on where you live you can get a pill that is suppose to do the same thing, but it has to be around 48 hours since the act for it to work.

But honestly, don't worry, it's probably nothing.

If you haven't come inside her then the chances of a 'transfer' pregnancy are so slim as to be almost impossible.

But getting a test is always the right thing to do. So props to you there, good one kid.

DO NOT WASTE TIME with herbal solutions. If the test does come up positive then phone your local chapter of Planned Parenthood (or whatever they are called where you are) and find out what options exist.

Ok thanks guys. Yeah no I haven't penetrated her. Not even close. Hahaha, she won't let me. Dang.

But yeah, every time I come, I put my pants on almost immediately. Thanks Jack, made me feel heaps better. I needed to talk to someone.

The guy at the chemist gave me such a filthy look too.

There are always arseholes out there. But don't let them get you down. You're acting like an adult, doing the RIGHT thing and taking responsibility for your actions.

Ain't nothing you need to feel ashamed for.

Get the test and go talk to Planned Parenthood. They may be Fem-Nazis and intensely Pro-choice but they will give you all the help and information you need.

Just don't waste time if the test is positive, almost everywhere has a time limit .

And if if had be done then it is best done as early as possible.

True. She's pro-life. But she said it's up to me... I'm not going to force her into anything. But I really don't need a kid. Here's hoping.

Kind of ironic though. The one relationship I have where we don't have sex... Hahaha.

Only because he is secretly jealous. I like to shout at the chemists that she needs the pill, the morning after one! Usually the female ones will titter, if that's still a word. Easier when you have a girlfriend who is open about her love of the cock though I guess.

Without penetration you should be sitting pretty, on the safe side though you should look at the test before she does. If it becomes a little smiley face you should immediatly kick her in the stomach.

Haha, she actually just asked me to punch her in the stomach if it is...

I thought she was pro life?
Or did I misread?

Pennyroyal tea as an abortificant is now considered risky. It can harm the woman, as well as her chances of ever having children, apparently. I can't say how true this is, but it's a highly volatile herb.
I don't think you should be worrying about pregnancy. If your mrs is young, then her period is going to be a bit irregular anyway, perhaps. And if you're REALLY worried, just take a test. Do that before taking such measures.
I've heard parsley tea can also induce miscarriage in the very early stages of development, but I'm just curious about natural treatments - I don't exactly recommend it.
