I get mine from Planned Parenthood.
72(3 days) hours is the recommended time for you to have the pill in your system but its actually good up to 120(5 days) hours you'll have to take both pills at the same time.
Worked for me everytime and that was the instruction from Planned Parenthood.
Good Luck............hurry up and get there!! time is awasting!!!

Technically the pill is effective for up to 5 days, but the longer you wait the greater the chance that the sperm will have already reached the egg and fertilized it. If fertilization has already happened, the pill won't work.
Plus it's not guaranteed to work even if you take it sooner. My friend took the pill two days after unprotected sex and still ended up being pregnant. You can still take it if you get it today, but It'll kinda just be more for your peace of mind for the time being. You'll prob still end up taking a pregnancy test in a few weeks.
Also, you should start taking birth contol even if you are not having regular sex because you are still sexually active. And you should definitely use a condom everytime you have sex (this is to prevent STD's as well as pregnancy).

That is why it is call the morning after pill...you take it the morning after, not 2 days after or 3 days and so on.
And you should know that when having sex you need to use a condom and get on the pill or leave sex alone.

No honey, it is really to late to take the morning after pill. That is really only effective for the first 72 hours after intercourse.
You could start taking birth control pills and using condoms - this will take the worry off of your mind of it happening again. It can be scary - I know.

Well, since it's the "morning after" pill I doubt it.
Also, taking that pill would be stupid. You should have thought about not wanting to get pregnant before you had unprotected sex. The morning after pill isn't birth control.

the morning after pill is only good for 72 hours after you last had unprotected sex so sunday would have been the last day.

No. You can only take it up to 72 hours later and it is a prescription anyway. Call a doctor and start taking birth control and USE CONDOMS.

You do realize that if you take the "morning after pill" you are killing a baby.
