Signal boosting in case anyone needed to know this. 

This is informative as heck. Show this to everyone!

This is actually some great info! Why can’t they teach this kind of thing in school??

Wow, I’ve taken health and sex ed three times during my educational process and never learned any of this. Thanks.

Definitely some important information here!

this is supa awesome.  i do think it should be noted that side effects of EC *really* vary.  when I took EC I didn’t have any symptoms whatsoever.  

Its really sad that in my country we don’t have EC pills because people still believe it is like an abortion. I have even heard of health professionals saying that! Ugh…

I’ve had to take this twice, and I just felt a bit out of sorts – the way you do when a heavy period is on its way.

And in the UK there are two ways to get hold of it.

Go to your GP’s walk-in, or a women’s health, or sexual health clinic, and you can be prescribed it.

Alternatively you can buy it at a chemist counter. They should take you to  a small consulting room/ quiet corner and ask you briefly your medical history so they know whether they’re safe to sell it to you. They will also talk to you about other methods of contraception. So don’t feel like they’re trying to lecture you, it’s just what they have to do when they sell it. It is more expensive when you buy it without a prescription (the last time I bought it I paid about £22.00 for it) but it’s the quickest way to get hold of it.

EDITED TO ADD

It’s called Levonelle in the UK, so if you’re feeling awkward about asking for ‘the morning after pill’ or ‘emergency contraception’ in the chemist, just ask for the brand name and they’ll know what you mean.
