    Morning after Pill.Urgent!
    Im Not Even Sure where to begin, So, a little over a month ago, my boyfriend and I had started having unprotected sex, and I had pregnancy symptoms, but I had my period. Although I was told that I could still be playing the waiting game. But about two weeks ago my boyfriend broke up with me, and I did something stupid, I had sex with his best friend, trying to numb out, now I'm panicking, I still have time to take the morning after pill, the only problem is I have no way to get a hold of it, I live in a small town, with no free clinics, I can't drive, and even if I could tommorow's christmas eve, nothings open, are there any other ways to get ahold of it? My 72 hours is up on christmas morning.

    Many pharmacies are still open tomorrow, at least until noon. Otherwise your only other option may be to go to the emergency room.

    Understand that the morning after pill is still not 100% effective. If you are not ready to be a parent you should rethink your method of birth control. Only abstinence is 100% effective.

    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.

    Also remember it is only considered 89 percent effective and the longer you wait, the less effective it is.

    So you should be able to go to your local walmart pharmacy and just ask them for it, and they sell it to you.

    And please let this be a notice that you need to be on some form of birth control if you are going to be having sex.

    Thisis assumign you are over 17. If you are under 17 your mom should be able to get it for you.
