I had sex last night and the condom split, because its the weekend I cant get to the doctor to get the morning after pill. It'll be too late by monday to take it so i heard that u can take a whole packet of contraceptive pills and that will have the same effect as the morning after pill. Im desperate!!! they wont give out the morning after pill in the chemist without perscription

You can use your regular birth control pills, but don't take the whole pack. Different brands of pills are used differently. It depends the kind of pills you have. Look up on the Planned Parenthood site on the internet to find out how many of what color you should take. Here is link:

Yeah just get the morning after pill you do NOT need a doctor's approval or prescription and walgreens really is the best. Just go in with your id, you do have to be over 18 and usually they aren't too expensive mine were somewhere in the neighborhood of $45..
Also if you for some reason cannot get ahold of plan b, you CAN take regualr bc pills, however they're less effective.
As for determining how many to take, do NOT take the whole pack, call a 24 hr line and they should be able to tell you, or call planned parenthood and ask, they should be open on saturdays, the have odd hours unlike doctors offices.
good LUCK!! :)

WHAT!?!?
DO NOT TAKE a whole pack of pills!!! That would be 28 times the amount you should be taking in!!!! Good grief!
You should go to the PHARMACIST and ask for it.
And the morning after pill can be taken up to 72 hours after sex, so you would still be ok if you wait till Monday.

why aren't you just on the Pill? Then, you don't even have to get that upset about this stuff. If you get a note from your doctor that you are on it for medical reasons rather than for birth control, it can literally cost you as little as $3 a month in some states.

go to planned parenthood. they will give you a prescription, or call your doctors emergency line... call the normal number and then if will ask if this is an emergency, say yes and then tell him/her what you told us, they will likely call in the prescription... taking an overdose of bc pills can kill you, stroke, heart attack, pulmonary embolism... there are so many ways to die by doing that.
