I dont have a car and cant seem to get a ride from any of my friends would it be wrong to go to my ex.bf for a ride?

Answer 1

Oh honey, why would you do that? You should always use protection if your not ready for a baby. You should always use birth control yourself and make him wear a condom if your not in a solid relationship with someone who loves you as much as you love them.
Go to a different pharmacy. I don't like this being your option, you should have thought this thru before you had sex. But your obviously not ready for a baby. You could also be late because your stressed out about it.
Do you think that your ex will care? If nothing else than yes, tell him. Let him stress out a bit too, then maybe he will start putting on a wetsuit before diving into the ocean.
Either way, you both need to realize that if your going to have sex, there are responsibilites that come with that. Using protection is just one of them.

Contraception
Plan B Particulars: The Facts You Need to Know
Author: Karen Barrow
Medically Reviewed On: September 01, 2006

The Food and Drug Administration has decided that women over the age of 18 will not need a prescription to purchase Plan B, a form of emergency contraception, while younger girls will need permission from a doctor. Unlike other forms of contraception, this drug allows women to lower their risk of getting pregnant after they engage in unprotected sex.

Putting aside your political stance or whatever ethical or moral qualms you have about either side of the argument, it is important to understand how Plan B works. Here are the facts:

What is Emergency Contraception?
Emergency contraception, sometimes called emergency birth control, is used to prevent a women who has had unprotected sex from becoming pregnant. It is not meant to be used routinely, but only in particular instances, such as when:

* Birth control is forgotten entirely
* A condom breaks or comes off
* A woman forgets to take two or more birth control pills in a row
* A woman is late in getting a birth control injection
* A woman is forced to have unprotected sex

It is important to realize that, like the birth control pill, patch and injections, emergency contraception does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases, such as HIV, herpes and chlamydia.

Also emergency contraception only works before a woman becomes pregnant. In other words, it must be taken before the egg is fertilized for it to be effective.

What is Plan B?
Plan B is a type of emergency contraception approved by the FDA. It is prescribed as a packet of two pills containing synthetic progestin, a type of hormone naturally made in a woman's body.

The drug works in the same way as a typical birth control pill in that it prevents the release of an egg from the ovary so fertilization cannot happen. If ovulation has already occurred, Plan B can also prevent the sperm from fertilizing the egg.

Plan B is ineffective, however, once fertilization happens and the egg is implanted into the woman's uterus. That's why the first Plan B pill must be taken within the first 72 hours after having unprotected sex. The sooner Plan B is taken after intercourse, the more effective it is. Twelve hours later, a second pill is taken. According to the manufacturer's website, "When you take Plan B as directed, you reduce your risk for pregnancy by up to 89 percent."

Is Plan B the Same as the Abortion Pill?
No. You may have heard Plan B called the "morning after pill", but it is significantly different than the abortion pill, RU-486. That drug is used to end an existing pregnancy by causing the uterus to force out the fertilized egg. Plan B only prevents a pregnancy, it cannot end a pregnancy. And it shouldn't be taken by pregnant women for that purpose.

However, if the drug is taken after fertilization of the egg, there is no evidence that Plan B will in any way effect the pregnancy.

Are There any Risks of Taking Plan B?
The most common side effects of Plan B impact menstruation, causing early or late periods and lighter or heavier menstrual bleeding. Nausea, abdominal pain, dizziness and breast tenderness may also occur.

If you vomit after taking Plan B, the National Women's Health Information Center advises you to call a doctor for advice.

Also, there is still the risk that you may become pregnant even after taking Plan B. So, if you do not begin menstruation in three weeks, or have other symptoms of pregnancy, consider taking a pregnancy test or seeing a doctor.

Answer 3

Though on the package, it says you must take it within 72 hours, in reality, as long as you take it within 5 days, it is pretty effective. You are actually at the most fertile time of your cycle, assuming you have a normal 28-30 day cycle.
Call another pharmacy. Also, most drugs can be received within 1-2 days.

Answer 4

First of all that's not a panic attack that's just a suck situation. Panic Attacks are part of a disorder called Panic Disorder. I have Panic Disorder.

second, YES you need to call the ex, he got you in this situation.Also go out and buy some home pregnancy tests, wait a couple days and do them, but do at least two. They are not always 100 percent accurate.

Call you're Doctors office again and ask for the doctor On Call, the doctor who should be covering your doctors patients while she is gone.

Good luck.

Answer 5

There is always a chance. Don't stress out, think of something else. Go to a clinic or a planned parenthood, they always have the mornig after pill on hand. Do it within 72 hours though otherwise you cant. Be careful, there are lot of ways to prevent pregnany, vaginal sponges, condoms, and birth control.

Answer 6

You shouldn't really calculate your cycle by weeks, given some months are different. You would be more accurate to go by days. Keep a calendar and know your body. You will be able to know when you are ovulating. You need to first go to the doctor and get a blood test. Depending on the results, tell your ex. Just protect yourself. Remember, he's sleeping with his g/f. Who knows if she's faithful to him.

Answer 7

Instead of stressing yourself out why don't you go elsewhere for the morning after pill and if that fails take a pregnancy test and next time use a condom or whatever.

Answer 8

Yes but don't call him freaking out like you are on here. Take a deep breath and relax it might be nothing at all. If you call him a nervous wreck then you will get him all nervous and he won't be able to help you either.

Answer 9

look odds are that you aren't so stop worrring you have to wait this one out and deal with it then but if you keep worring you will throw off your cycle so just wait and if you are then talk to the bf

Answer 10

odds are you are not....sometimes if you stress about something alot, your cycle goes haywire....wait for contacting your ex.bf......be sure first.
