Possible Pregnancy Overseas

I'm sorry to post some negativity, being that pregnancy can be such a beautiful and exciting time--but my situation isn't so much exciting. I am an English teacher, currently teaching in South Korea. I've been s_xually active for about 6 years now (I'm 24), and have always used protection. Last week I had s_x with someone casually, and the condom broke. Literally, broke--I've never actually had that happen before and I'm just in shock and disbelief that it happened here and now. The next morning I took what Korea uses for the morning after pill (called NorLevo), and now I am just waiting. I'm unsure if I am pregnant or not, but of course it is on my mind 100% of the time. The reason I'm writing on here is just for some advice as to what to do IF I am pregnant. Being overseas in a foreign speaking country, I feel instantly alone and detached from support. It's too soon to bring this up with friends or family because I just don't want to create an issue that isn't there if it turns out I'm not pregnant. However, it's on my mind too much to just sit and wait--I feel that I just need a little words of wisdom to get me through. Any advice?

Oops! Take a deep breath and stop the alarm bells. South Korea has everything available that is in the USA, not so? Were you close to ovulation when this happened? If your period was due in 12 days or less, you were past your fertile days. Buy your own lubricant and best quality condoms plus spermicide, use both together, and learn how to put a condom on a guy as a signal that your engine is warmed up. There should be enough slack at the end to accommodate the ejaculate, no air in the slack to form a bubble which pops, no petroleum based lubricants, and a signal on withdrawal that it is time to reach down and make sure everything comes out on cue.
NorLevo may mess with your next bleed. Run a home pregnancy test a few days after your period was due to check that everything is in order. GL!

If you are single and pregnant, you don't have to be! Check out my profile for Facebook page information on finding a man that will love and adore you during and after your pregnancy, or search 'Pregnant and Single' in Facebook. I have also established a Yahoo group called 'PREGNANTNSINGLENLA' to put single pregnant women together with men who possess a strong s_xual attraction for pregnant woman. So, if you're still pregnant and single, that is purely your choice as you don't have to be.
