Do I need to get the morning after pill?

Question

Last night I had unprotected sex, no birth control and no condom. I'm sixteen. I know it was very dumb of me and that it was a horrible mistake so please don't critize or anything, just give me your opinion. He pulled out right before he came and I'm pretty sure that he pulled out in time. I'm debating on whether I really even need to worry about the morning after pill. I would have to go to planned parenthood to get it and they have been booked everytime I call. Someone also told me that you get pretty sick with the pill so it wouldn't be something that would be easy to hide from my parents. Do I really even need to be worried? Please write in if you've been in this situation, I'd feel a lot better!

Answer 1

You need to get the morning after pill NOW before it is no longer effective, otherwise, you may get pregnant.

Call PLanned Parenthood one more time. Tell them you only need the morning after pill, and that you need it now. You don't need a doctor's visit to get it, although you DO need a prescription because you are under 18. Also, call your local pharmacies, and tell them you need it immediately, and you need to know how to get it since you are 16.

The morning after pill won't make you too sick, but every woman responds differently. Just get the pill, take it, and if there are side effects, at least you know they are better than being pregnant.

Finally, you really need to get STD testing done now. I am sure you realize that already, but make sure you get a full panel of tests done for chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV, herpes, everything.

Good Luck!!

If your only 16 not even sure if they will give it to you without a parents consent--prob depends on what state you live in. Planned Parenthood is not the only place though-hate to say it but most abortion clinics will also have it. Look in the yellow pages.
Depending in on your beliefs if a life forms at fertilization some do think it is a form of abortion. I have taken it and you really don't get sick from it as long as you eat when you take it--plus take both pills the same time. It will mess up your hormone balance and periods for a few months and make your hair and skin drier.
I think you need to make that decision--I am 35 and got preg at 16 and my girl is 18 now--I wouldn't change a thing--but it was hard. I wish you could go to your mom as my daughter can come to me. Everytime you have sex you need to worry about pregnancy, stds--with or without protection.

Love yourself and--sorry--in my opinion you are too young to have sex with all the worries for a girl it comes with--I hope this is a wake up call to you--it is not worth it at your age--teenage guys have so many hormones they want sex--doesn't make them like or love you any more or less.

In my opinion you are way too young to have a child and I would try to get the morning after pill--it will be fine--talk to your mom about your sexual activity and get on the pill if you are planning to be active--make sure the guy still uses condoms--2nd protection to stop pregnancy plus 1st to not contract an std. But most of all love yourself and don't just give it up--you are way too special.

Answer 3

Having the guy "pull out" during sex is NEVER a good form of birth control. You should go to the doctor within 72hours and when you are calling for an appointment tell them that you need to get the morning after pill. You won't get really sick, maybe a little bit nausea, but nothing serious. You will start your period soon after. When you do have your appointment, talk to the doctor about a form of birth control that will be good for you. Also, they are saying now that condoms should only be used as a barrier from STDs not a sole form of birth control. You should be watching out for signs of an STD as well. Anytime you have unprotected sex you could possibly be exposing yourself to HIV/AIDS, syphilis, gonorrhea and you could also get pregnant. I know you just made a mistake, but next time, please think dont have sex and ask questions later. You will be so happy you did. Protecting yourself is most important! Good luck!

Answer 4

The morning-after pill — a form of emergency birth control — is used to prevent a woman from becoming pregnant after she has had unprotected vaginal intercourse. Morning-after pills are generally considered safe, but many women are unaware that they exist. Here's how the morning-after pill works.

Human conception rarely occurs immediately after intercourse. Instead, it occurs as long as several days later, after ovulation. During the time between intercourse and conception, sperm continue to travel through the fallopian tube until the egg appears. So taking emergency birth control the "morning after" isn't too late to prevent pregnancy.

Answer 5

You probably should get Plan B, the morning after pill. After all, even if he pulled out before orgasm, there is still semen in the pre-ejaculation fluids. You can still get pregnant even though he ejaculates outside of your vagina.

If you have old birthcontrol pills lying around, there are ways to create the morning after pill with some of the birthcontrol pills.

In any case, please call your doctor, who can call you in a prescription over the phone. In most states, teenagers can get this kind of medical help without their parents being notified.

Answer 6

He comes a little before he ejaculates. You can not be sure that you are not pregnant. Please understand that the morning after pill is an early abortion if you truely are pregnant. Knowing that you snuffed out a life may be something you might not want to live with. Abortion debates have two sides and I am on the side of pro life and do adoption.

Answer 7

yes you need the morning after pill, as pre ejaculate (fluid that comes out of the penis before a man comes) contains sperm, meaning you could get pregnant. these days the morning after pill contains far less hormones than it used to and tends not to make you sick.... the myth that it makes you sick tends to come from people who have had sex when drunk and are sick after they've taken the pill due to a hangover. if you are sick just say a few of your friends have had the same, its a 24hr bug. good luck!

Answer 8

Dont freak out!! I suggest you go to a walk in clinic and tell them you need the morning after pill. (dont take plan B) .. just the regualr one. Ive been in the situation where the condom broke, even though i dont know if he came inside or not.. i just needed to be sure.. Just do it. It happens sometimes unexpectedly just be sure to becareful.!!!! I was never sick or had anything like my period either.. my stomach hurt but thats it!!

Answer 9

Sorry I don't think I have been in your situation,but;you should have worn a condom because you are to young to be a mother.Go to the Health Department it is free and the can do a pelvic exam on you and a pregnancy test.The pregnancy tests are becoming more and more of a genious.The docotrs tests can tell if you're pregnant in 24 hours.

Answer 10

My advice would be to take get the pill. Even if he pulled out, there is precum that can still cause you to get pregnant. Also, you have to take the morning after pill within 3 days for it to be effective.
