unprotected sex. its important.
 

I know theres that sticky thing up the top of the board, but that's not what my question is about. ...
I had unprotected sex today with my boyfriend, thinking I could get the emergency contraceptive pill tomorrow (it wasnt planned.) However, I have since found out that I can't, and I'm back at school on monday. we dont have a school nurse, and my GP/local A&E department are both too far away to get to at lunchtime. my mum's being protective at the moment, so I wont be allowed after school. so, my question is (or questions are, rather); if I went to one of the child protection officers at school,a) would they be able to arrange for me to get the pill, and b) would they have to inform my parents because i'm under 16?

:pinch: don't tell me how stupid I am. I know that already.

I believe you can buy it sometimes?
maybe look online about it
my friend got it from a clinic once, and she was 15 an they didnt tell her parents.

would you be able to get to a Boots store anytime tomorrow/Monday?
That's where I went...and they wont inform your parents.
I dont know about the CPO...because they work WITH school...they might have to tell your parents :/

my school nurse took me to the chemist to get the morning after pill once, and my parents were never informed,

good luck xxxx

EDIT: and i'm pretty sure i was underage :S

Having gone to a Catholic school, I haven't got a clue whether any normal school would help you get it as ours definately wouldn't have. However, I have recently found out that many schools in this area not do sex health clinics in schools for a few hours everyweek so maybe thats worth looking into for the future. However, in this case it is better getting it before Monday as then it's affectiveness will be pretty poor. You can definately by it over the counter at pharmacies (presuming you're from the UK, I think for around £15-20. Though it's expensive, that probably is your best bet, definately the safest by far at this moment.

You probably know this but in the future just remember that the Morning After Pill definately isn't supposed to be used as a replacement for other contraceptives, it's manufactured for problems such as condoms splitting and it's effectiveness wears off dramatically with the longer from the 'event' that you take it. It is definately a good idea to seeing a doctor or someone at a sex health/ GUM clinic about alternatives such as the contraceptive pill.

yeah it sort of just happened, it really wasnt planned =|

mm.. i may be able to get to a boots, i dont know, but i wont before monday. do boots charge? i have no money..


thank you x

No. Thats what I was worried about >.<
but go to the pharmacy bit..and they take you to a side room...
asking a few questions about your last cycle and stuff....
then give you the pill.
Thats it.
Takes about 5-10 mins. No fee.

okay.. i'll do that.. thank you
x x x

Also...dunno If you're interested..but if you go to your doctors...they can put you on the contraceptive pill on prescription...
and they cant tell your parents by law.

Dunno if that helps or is of any interest but just thought I'd mention :]
hope it goes ok for you hun
xx

^ and contraception pills are free!

yeah, I'll go to the GP sometime soon..
thank you all xx

By the way, pharamacies won't sell you the morning after pill unless you're over 16. Dumb huh. (Well, that's true in my area at any rate).

Other than that I don't have much to add, sorry.

Hope you're okay. *hugs* =))

yeah, i just found that out..
i'm screwed.



lol.

our pharmacy has just entered a new scheme in which it does, i think?

also we used to charge £25 for the bill, but it's free now. all you have to do is fill out a questionnaire and have a chat with the pharmacist and stuff.
