Morning after pill advice

I can't believe I actually have reached the age I have and am now needing this - 36 Confused
Basically - I have 3 DC the youngest is 10 months. I haven't got round to getting a dr's appt. for pill/iud and have been using condoms. The condom has split. I'm breastfeeding at night but know that this is only effective as birth control when baby is under 6 months and is being exclusively b/f.
I can see you can order the MAP online. Has anyone done this and is it safe to take whilst b/f?

Ha ha, 34, two kids and 3 trips to the pharmacy for MAP so far this year OP Blush

I've taken it whilst breastfeeding. Not ordered anything online but I told the pharmacist each time that I was BF.

Got the coil fitted today though Wink

Hope you've got it sorted.

So I ordered an online tablet and it's not arrived - I will now have to take Ellaone but it says I can't breastfeed for a week. My DS b/f's at night he's 10 months. I've read online that in the US they recommend waiting 24hours before feeding but in Europe it's 1 week. Does anyone have any experience of this?
