To ask why I'm such a massive dick!?

[ImAKnob]

I'm stressing out so much.

I'm on Cycle day 6 and just had unprotected sex where he fully came in me. My app says my fertile window starts in 4 days but obviously this isn't exact and sperm can stay alive in your vag for like 7 days.

In 3 years we've never done this and always been so careful. I can't take any hormonal contraception because it makes me poorly and I end up throwing it back up anyway so we always just use condoms but this time idk what happened.

Like I said this has never happened before we're always so careful.

I guess I have to go and get a morning after pill? I don't know where to go for this? What do I say to them? Do they ask you questions or examine you? I've never been examined like that before. Is it just a tablet? What happens when you take it? Does it hurt? Omg I'm stressing out I never want to see a penis ever again.

I'm only 21 and cannot have a baby I'm too poor and we'd all just be miserable. I don't know if I'm sweating because it's like a sauna in here or because I'm stressing so much! Why am I such a dick!!!!? Never again omg.

Sorry, I should have put this first but in my panic I forgot. If anyone is trying to get pregnant I don't mean to upset, these are just my circumstances.

Go to boots and ask at the pharmacy for the morning after pill. Its about £20. They will get you to sign a form and ask a very brief medical and sexual history. They do this about 10 times a day so I really wouldn't worry.

Breathe!

Any pharmacy will sell you the MAP. The sooner you take it the better, so try and go in the morning. They will ask you some questions about your general health and menstrual cycle but they won't examine you.

Many years ago it made a lot of women sick, but you'd be unlucky to be sick with the modern version. If you are, though, you'll need to go back to the pharmacy.

And no, it doesn't hurt at all. It's just a small tablet.

its really really normal in the pharmacy! dont worry. they ask you a few questions about your age, health, other medication etc. and when you had unprotected sex. its most effective the sooner you can take it, within 72 hours.

they give you the pill with a glass of water. i guess you might feel a bit sick but i didnt. my period came as normal although in some people it can come early.

i didnt want to ask for it because there were other customers in the shop, so i googled it and showed the pharmacist the NHS page, and said “can i have this please?”

its all over and done in about 5-10 mins. no need to worry.

I think it’s free if you’re under 25?

You should be able to get some anti nausea stuff at the same time, ask if you can use buccastem or something. And don't panic, it may not be ideal but it's not the end of the world!!

Thank you all so much😩
Do supermarket pharmacy's stock it, for example Tesco? I'm in work early tomorrow so wont have time to go to a proper one.
I think I need to have a google!

Yes Tesco's will do them.

MAP is hormonal though. You could get an IUD instead?

Thank you all,
I went to the 'proper' clinic today after work and got Levonelle.

They were honestly SO nice there, I had nothing to worry about.

Won't be making that mistake again!!

Not just your mistake though. Glad you got it sorted.

Don't worry OP, I had to take the MAP a few times in my 20s. It was always fine. Maybe get yourself on a more permanent form of contraception?
