    You don't take the morning after pill in anticipation of having sex. It doesn't work that way so, yes, you could be pregnant.

    You need to understand more about sex, pregnancy, birth control. I'm surprised that your partner doesn't care more about you, doesn't take steps to protect you.

    If you don't want to have a baby, don't have sex. If you do have sex, use two methods of protection to lessen your chances of pregnancy.

    Ok I agree to just not do it until I get on sum birth control but I just want to know is it any other way to prevent me from being pregnant because I already might be and I don't want to just wait to find out that I am pregnant??

    The morning after pill is for emergencies (a missed birth control pill, a ripped condom, rape, etc). It's not a form of birth control, but, like birth control, it's also not 100% effective.

    If you want to have sex, but don't want a baby, you need to see your doctor about birth control. You also need to know that even if you use 3 or more forms of birth control, and the morning after pill, pregnancy is still possible. The only way to avoid pregnancy 100% is to keep your legs crossed and your pants on.

    I just want to know is it any other way to prevent me from being pregnant because I already might be and I don't want to just wait to find out that I am pregnant??
    Once you're pregnant, the only way to become not pregnant, is an abortion, a miscarriage, or giving birth. So, if the morning after pill didn't work, and you're pregnant, taking the morning after pill again won't change you being pregnant.

    You don't want to wait to find out if you're pregnant? Too bad. Welcome to being a women. Wait, test, hope, pray, and find out. There's no way to tell you're pregnant or not, earlier, just because you're too impatient to find out like everyone else on the planet has had to find out. So suck it up, wait, and test when your period is at least 2 weeks late using first morning urine. There's no other option.

    That would at least be a first step in protection against pregnancy, not to mention STD's. But apparently the OP thinks the morning after pill is a form of birth control.

    Having said that , condoms are the least reliable method of birth control on the market, but still, they're better than nothing.

    Sadly, this OP seems intent on learning the hard way, which means a pregnancy, or worse.

    Again, I'm smacking my head. The ignorance of people today concerning pregnancy, is nauseating. It makes me want to cry. When did education fail these people? What will the next generation be like? I really hope I'm not here to see that stupidity and ignorance. :(

    No, it is not really safe to take it again. It is for emergency use, once in a while.

    Other birth control should have been used. ( or learn to say no) afterwards is too late to start worry about it now.

    I am amazed that "girls" understand nothing about pregnancy despite listening to their friends talking, TV, school, parents, whatever - remember the person who asked if she could get pregnant if she had sex standing up?

    Now there was a winner!
