Basically on Friday I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend. We were both drunk unfortunately, but it wasn't for long as I knew we shouldn't be doing it without protection. It was my first time too and i'm worried.
Is there a chance I could get pregnant from this even though he didn't come? I don't know whether to get the morning after pill or not. I need help asap, so anyone with advice would be great.
Thanks

im wondering about getting pill too. i think i might just to be on the safe side. go down tomorrow to chemist or something. .. and you should do the same!!
when you go to chemist to get pills, what exactly do you ask for at the counter? do you just ask for the morning after pill or is there a name for it? i dont want to look stupid. anyone know?
get the MAP pill NOW. The longer you leave it the less effective it is- after 72 hours it is a quarter less effective than after a few hours, and it cannot be used after 72 hours.
Starting to panic a bit now.
You can get it at any pharmacy, normally costing between £10 and £20. Contact NHS Direct on 0845 46 47 to find out your nearest open pharmacy.
You can also get it from your doctor or the walk-in centre for free. The walk-in clinic is normally at your local hospital, and a nurse there will give it to you for free. If you need to know where it is, again ring NHS Direct on 0845 46 47 and they will tell you.
By walk-in clinic I mean the clinic for minor injuries, but not A&E. The GUM clinic will probably not be open on a Sunday.
You may well have got away with it, but accidents will happen.
my advice kids, is dont have unprotected sex unless you want a baby tbh.
emergency contraception and abortions are such a faff.
Seeing as today is sunday and its 20 past 8 at night - if you havent got the morning after pill by now i'd just get yourself down to the gum clinic soon as possible to get a test done.
Just remember to be careful in the future and dont forget that if you do go down the clinic and get tested and it turns out you are pregnant (which from the sounds of things is very unlikely) then you still have options and its not the end of the world.

Even though it is coming up to 72 hours it is STILL worth taking. It might just reduce your risk of being pregnant by 60%; which is worth it.
a test wouldnt work this early on, if a baby isnt something you want right now, try your best to get the map, its too much of a risk to take.
you can test if your period doesnt come.
Not to frighten, but they aren't as slim as you would think.
yeh. you know what they say... better safe than pregnant :thumb:
