    The doctor would only give you a prescription but you then have to find a pharmacy to dispense it bearing in mind that the majority of them went on strike today.

    And the later you get it, the less effective it is, within the 72hrs timeframe.

    As far as I know Its available OTC in NI, the sooner you get it the more effective it is, unless you wanna be pushing a buggy get your orse in gear. And next time BE MORE CAREFUL!!!!!!!

    Maybe try these guys and see if they're open?

    Didn't you start a thread about condoms a few days ago?

    Which ones were they so I never use them?

    Just go to your Out-of-hours doctor, then late night pharmacy. Seriously put a bag on it in future.

    How the hell can it be "less effective".
    You'll either be pregnant or you won't be, it either works or it doesn't.

    I'd imagine taking the pill almost immediately gives a higher % chance of it working than two days later, and after the 72 hours the chance of it working is negligible.

    And this is another reason why the pill/depo provera/the SNIP were invented. A raincoat isnt always effective which is why if anyone is to be sexually active Its best to be EXTRA careful....failing that buy a pram.

    ah to be young again.

    I remember the first time i had sex.

    We were both young, she was younger than i.

    We had sex in the Lucan spa hotel in Dublin.

    Not a rubber in sight.. 2 strokes i pulled out and we both went into shock... oooh noes!! you're going to be pregnant!!! I was violently ill at the thought, bless my innocence.. and she sent me marching down to the hotel toilet to get condoms so i could finish the job.

    Losing my virginity was one of the worst expierences of my life.



    ... oh btw.. the morning after pill is no joke.. youtake that once or twice in your life max... its a serious drug that can fcuk a woman up inside if abused.. so dont use them like panadol.

    Im going to start shipping them down and selling them in hundreds at the Fairyhouse market. I even have my CD full of 1920s prohibtion swing music for the drive

    On a side note I went to the morning after clinic with a friend once. It was a Sunday morning and the entire waiting room was populated by ill tempered women looking to take revenge on the only penis in the room for what had been done to them a few hours before. I sunk behind cosmo for half an hour.

    It's apparently fairly dangerous, and not just something to take because you can't be arsed using protection.
