I don't think so...
I don't know if where you live has a Planned Parenthood or anything, but you usually get them from there or maybe the health department.

Goodness! Four Questions about the same thing. If sincere you must be scared, so first just try to cool it.
Unfortunately a week after intercourse is too long for morning-after pills to be effective. "Morning after" means just that. But just for your information: in the USA morning after pills must first be prescribed by a doctor (there is currently a tremendous political fight by anti-sex, anti-abortion fundamentalist moralist radicals - abetted by a sympathetic Bush administration - fighting against liberalizing this restriction). In Canada, Britain and most other English-speaking and western-European countries the morning after pill can just be dispensed and sold by pharmacists and school nurses.
You don't know if you are pregnant yet and although such is possible (see Answers to your three other Questions) it is very, very highly unlikely.
Good luck. And either go on the pill or confine your pleasing your boyfriend (and he you!) without intercourse.

It has to be perscribed by your doctor, either an OB/GYN, GYN, Family Practise or General Practicioner. Take the bus to the doctor's or call a cab, if you can afford one. You need to be seen within 24 hours of your sexual encounter for the morning after pill to be effective. I took it once after trusting that the guy had put on a condom. After sex, I discovered he hadn't when he started laughing that he'd gone bareback. We were sex only friends & I never saw him again. Now, I put the condom on myself to make sure. It's also best to be on some kind of birth control if you're having sex with your boyfriend, fiance, husband. There are a lot of options available. Discuss with your doctor & your man what option is best for you. Planned Parenthood or other similar clinic will ask you to pay for it. If you can afford the price, go there.

A prescription from the doctor and I believe they have them at planned parenthood clinics.
So you must be 15. Why are you having sex at that young of an age? I am not lecturing here, I am wondering why you would risk getting pregnant, STD's, Aides, Cervical Cancer and ruining your life for 15 minutes of joy.
