If you are over the age of 18 you can go to your nearest pharmacy and get it without a prescription... but it costs about $45 with tax. If your period just ended and he didn't finish you are probably ok, but if you don't want to take any chances (I don't!) then go pick it up. If you're under 18 you can go to your health department (your parents don't have to know) and they will give it to you without an examinination and it will probably be pretty close to free. Be sure to take a stub from you or your boyfriend's last paycheck so they will know how much to charge you for Plan B. If you decide you want to do it, be sure to get it as soon as possible. It will be somewhat effective up to 72 hours after you had unprotected sex, but the sooner you get it the more effective it is. Good luck!

uummmm. if you think that there is a possiblity then you I guess you should. Especially if children are not an option right now.
But never use Plan B as a contraception method.
The side effects of that pill are pretty harsh.
good luck

I would, just to be on the safe side. And it's still better than an abortion or even the thought of it.
Be more careful next time.

Yes. If you don't want to get preganant, take all measures to protect yourself.
