Me and my bf slept with each other for the first time on saturday night. Unfortunatly the condom split.
The next day we went to boots but they didnt have any appointments left so we were unable to get it.
I have college all day today, but i'm able to get in my hours lunchbreak though it will cause some problems.
Am I still able to get it tommorrow? where i have all day to get it? or would it be too late?
Also, I've had it before. I took it last year as I couldnt remember what happened between me and a boy so i took it as a precaution.
I've recently heard rumours saying there is only a set amount of times that you can take it.
Is this true? if not please set me straight :)
thanks in advance

1) You need to skip class, get off the internet and yget to a doctor ASAP
2) Next time, remember you can get the emergency contraceptive pill and just keep it in your medicine closet for the next time an accident happens - you don't have to always have to have the emergency and then go to the doctor, imagine being on vacation
Here is the link to the Plan B AKA Emergency Contraceptive Pill, but just go to the doctor, go to any OB-GYN and they will probably see you.
NOTE: In some states you DO NOT need to see a doctor to get this pill. In your case I would still see a doctor as there can be side effects, but here in CA we can get it at a pharmacy if we can find one that offers it.
Seriously, see a doctor. If you had sex last year and don't remember, you need to talk to someone before you end up preganant, with an STD or worse.
From the Plan B site:
"Plan B® is now available without a prescription for consumers age 18 or older, but a prescription is needed for women 17 and younger. But remember, Plan B® is more effective the sooner you take it – and you should take it within 3 days (72 hours) after unprotected sex.
If you live in Alaska, California, Hawaii, Maine, New Mexico, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts or Washington, you can get Plan B® without a prescription at some pharmacies; however, you should call your pharmacy in advance to make sure they offer and stock Plan B®."

You have up to 72 hours to take the pill. The sooner its taken the more effective it is. There is not a set number of times you can take it, but it isn't recommended for frequent use. Sounds like you might need a more reliable form of birth control:-) I'd certainly talk to your doc or gyn.

It's deffo 72 hours (three days) I have had to take it once so I know for sure. However earlier the better I am guessing! Good luck sweety.xx

you actually have 72 hrs. but it works more effectively within the first couple of hours. you would take the first pill as soon as possible, then take the next pill 12 hrs. later.

72 hours, or 3 days

Don't quote me on this, but I think it is 72 hours. As far as how many times you can take it I am not sure.

3 days max, but its most fool-proof in the 1st 48 hrs.
