Hiya, so first of please go easy on me, I'm aware of how stupid I am and that u only have myself to blame 😢

OK so for the last 12 months I was on microgynon and within that 12 months of taking it everyday and feeling the side effect of feeling sick after taking it I wasn't even having ANY sex at all. I had no sex in my relationship whatsoever, we were going through a bad patch and we don't even live together. When I'd finished the pack which I get every 3 months I decided there was no point putting in another prescription as I was taking it for no reason. Then after a month or so me and OH were actually getting on and had sex and I'm absolutely fuming with myself because I wasnt on anything and should of said no! We had sex at 12am and I didn't take the morning after pill till noon 2 days later. That's 36 hours after sex. I know the sooner you take it the better and I did actually go out to a chemist the next day which was a Sunday and told d have to come back with some sort of letter to prove I lived in the Borough🤬 when I went to a different pharmacy a day later he said that was absolute rubbish and now i may have taken it too late. I know you can take it up to 72 hours but I'm aware after 24 hours the percentage of success goes down rapidly. I'm really scared that I ovulated BEFORE I took the tablet and if that's the case will the tablet now work? I have 3 kids already I'm actually shitting bricks!

I forgot to add the pharmacist asked if my bmi was over 26 and if it is I'd need to take 2 tablets. I googled and my bmi is 25.6 so now im worried because I'm so close to 26.
