AIBU to be terrified of taking emergency contraception?

Will begin by saying I’m emetophobic. Anyway, just dtd with DH and afterwards realised the condom got a hole in it! We absolutely do not want another child. I know I need to get to a pharmacy ASAP but I’m frightened of taking a morning after pill in case it makes me sick!! Rationally I know it is the only sensible thing to do - having a 4th child is not an option! What are the chances of not needing to? Am on day 21 of a 25 day cycle.

I wouldn’t take the risk.
I think it’s probably very unlikely you would be since- I’ve taken it 3 times and never had any side effects

You can ask the doc or pharmacist for anti sickness tablets.

I'd rather risk being sick once from taking it than potentially weeks of morning sickness

If you become pregnant you might well have a lot more sickness to contend with. I would take the EC if I were in your shoes.

Are you not worried pregnancy will make you sick?

mumtomaxwell · 20/01/2018 18:55

Two pregnancies, no sickness! And first one was twins so i don’t equate pregnancy with sickness. I realise this is unusual.
I shall toughen up and get myself to the pharmacy!

If you go now you can take it right before bed and therefore sleep through the worst of any side effects x

Not levonelle if possible! I am pregnant after taking that one, ellaone is apparently much more effective.

I've taking the MAP (levonelle) twice and it's not even made me nauseous. Is it worth the risk?
