The morning after pill is emergency contraception. It can be taken within 72 hours of intercourse in order to prevent a fertilized egg from settling into the layers of the uterine wall. It can be gotten at a local pharmacy, but I think you have to have a doctor's prescription unless they recently made it over-the-counter.

It's voer the counter, you can probably go to planned parenthood.
I took it about a year ago, and I was sick for days, but of course, that's better than an unwanted pregnancy.

I took it a couple of years ago, got it free from a youth sexual health centre. I hear it makes a lot of people ill for a couple of days afterwards but I didn't have any bad side effects.

It's not over-the-counter in the US, even though it should be:
