Emergency contraception

[rather not stop]

Have been to my local pharmacy and they sorted me out. Thank you all!!

I'm horrified writing this. Where/how does one access emergency contraception in the UK?

Don't be embarrassed or horrified! It's nothing to be ashamed of! A pharmacy can help - the sooner you take it the more effective it is I think though so best to go as soon as you can.

Pharmacy?

Aaah thank you. I had my period last week and am freaking out - clearly can't think straight!!

This is useful, you can check where it's available based on your postcode: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/contraception/where-can-i-get-emergency-contraception/

Just in case it impacts you whether or not it's free - it's only free at certain pharmacies so it might be worth giving some a call. I had it for free from a Boots pharmacy about 4 years ago and then I was charged £17.50 a few months ago by the same pharmacy.

Your local sexual health clinic is free

I’m sure you’re sorted now but for future you can order it via Superdrug or possibly Lloyds pharmacy online, I always keep a pack at home just in case (thankfully never actually had to use it!)

Boots sometimes do if free still depending on your area

If you had your period only last week, surely you wouldn’t be fertile yet? Sorry for asking. Just a thought that popped into my head.

Sperm can hang around for a few days can’t it? You can buy it from Superdrug doctors online.

Better safe than sorry.

111 also can help, but i go to pharmacy’s though (not all do them) they will take your BP and ask you questions too! As there are two types

Your local pharmacy will have it.
