Do I need to get the morning after pill?

Question

The condom broke last night and I was wondering is it necessary to take the morning after pill. My period started last monday & ended on thursday.

The only reason I ask is because it makes me queasy & any time I've taken it I've been sick shortly after & I don't know if I've kept it down long enough to work

Answer 1

Once your period ends it takes normally seven days before ovulation happens again, although everyone is slightly different.  You are probably safe.

Answer 2

If your period just ended on Thursday, it's not likely that you could become pregnant right now.  I don't think you need the pill.

Answer 3

well, a condom that does not break is still not a guarantee against pregnancy. so if one did break, you have little choice. although i regretfully tell you that because abortion is a terrible thing. the morning after pill is an early abortion if your pregnant.

Answer 4

If you have a regular cycle then it's not the best time to get pregnant, but it's still possible, so I would recommend the morning after pill. If not, you're taking a risk. You would probably ok, but it depends if you want to take the risk or not.

Mention your nausea/vomiting to the pharmacist when you go to get the pill to see if they recommend you use it or not.

here come the thumbs down but i gotta ask this.....

just how many times have you had to use emergency contraceptives?? are you having multiple partners and not using protection of any kind? sounds pretty promiscuous to me...since you just met this guy last night and slept with him and all. maybe you should think about some birth control options.

Answer 6

I agree with Becca - it is prob too early for you to become pregnant.  Its not impossible but probably unlikely.  Try to put your mind at ease.  It is not healthy to take that pill a lot - maybe your boyfriend should buy a better quality condom since it sounds like this has happened to you before.
