Emergency Contraception

[DandyFop]

Planned Parenthood is closed on Sundays. That really sucks.

I had to get it once about two years ago, but I can't remember how much it cost. I hope it's not a lot, I'm almost broke. Does anyone know?

Condom breakage is crappy :(

But super drunk sex is pretty awesome

[DipDipDive]

I have no idea about emergency contraception, but I firmly believe that drunk sex totally blows.

[jackrock]

I'm not 100% sure of what your talking about, but isn't it like 3 or 4 days until it's "too late". Once again, i don't know what your talking about.

[jlees_mcsd]

I have no idea about emergency contraception, but I firmly believe that drunk sex totally blows.

It can be fun as long as your not TOO drunk but a "little tipsy" is GREAT!



To you Dandy----------> I have no clue because my method of B.C. involved a surgical solution. Sorry.

[B4BY 4NN]

"At Planned Parenthood of North East Pennsylvania, the emergency contraception visit costs less than $60 (teen and low-income rate available). That includes the counseling, the pregnancy test, and the pills."

I don't know if it's the same where you are Dandy, but.. Yeah.

[beastieangel01]

in California we get it for free depending on our income. I wish I lived closer to you, I have two packs of EC sitting around "just in case," be it for me or friends.

That has happened to me once during CHRISTMAS so trying to get EC was a nightmare.

I hope you get it soon.

[jlees_mcsd]

I don't know for sure but I think in Michigan it is only free in cases of rape.

[ScarySquirrel]

This chick I know needed to get the morning after pill and it cost her about $90... I think.

I don't know, I wasn't really that involved in the whole story, but I think that's the dollar amount she paid. I could also be horribly wrong, so what the hell do I know?

[like2_drink]

i do not know.

with that said, goodluck with everything

[TurdBerglar]

just squeeeeze it out

When I got EC, at the time I had medical insurance. I called my doctor and she filled out a prescription where I could just pick it up at the pharmacy. The pills weren't $90. Guess it just depends on your coverage.

[TurdBerglar]

there're pharmicist out there that refuse to give out EC becuase of "moral reasons". they seem to think EC is an abortion pill and don't realise it's just a really high does of normal birth control. i didn't know pharmicist could refuse perscribed drugs to people.

[DandyFop]

^Yeah, actually when I looked it up today I couldn't remember the words "emergency contraception" so I tried morning after pill, and the very first link is some website saying it's another form of abortion :rolleyes:

It sucks because I found a list of birth control pills that you can take a high dosage of to have the same effect, but the ones that I have from when I used to take it, isn't recommended for that :( Dammit. I think I will take one anyway today untill I can get the pill tomorrow.

[alexandra]

i'm just gonna say good luck.

[TurdBerglar]

yeah it's a great unisex name

[alexandra]

that's how you make me agree with you. (y)

[TurdBerglar]

you're getting one step closer, damaja

[cookiepuss]

edit: oh I read closer and looks like you already found some info on this...


I'm not exactly advocating this method but regular birthcontrol pills can be used as emergency contraception. witha low dose pill you have to take 4 of the pills that contain the most estrogen. oseing youreself with so much estrogen will work the same way the morning afterpill will, but you can also expect not to feel to great. sideeffects are probably similar to the morning after. wouldn't try it if you have high blood pressure or are at risk for blood clots. I've have tried it and it worked for me. but I don'y recomend you try this without consulting your doc because you just never know, or in otherwords try at your own risk if you don't consult someone first..

[monkey]

some planned parenthoods or even regular gyn's will call in a pharmacy for you during their off hours if you call them and report it as an emergency to them. you know, call their beepers or cell if that's given over the answering machine, that kind of thing. sometimes, if you just leave a message, the doctor will check it before the end of the weekend.

really good to have: an extra prescription just in case. some doctors will even give you several extra prescriptions with year-long expiration dates. planned parenthood would definately do it.

good luck(y)

ugh. those pharmacists don't only deserve to lose their licence, they deserve to be shot.

[iceygirl]

good luck with your tummy ache

super drunk sex sucks

[Videodrome]

i used plastic wrap once when i was in a pinch.

[TurdBerglar]

ugh. those pharmacists don't only deserve to lose their licence, they deserve to be shot.


it seems pharmacists have that right to withhold perscribed meds if they feel the need to

[zorra_chiflada]

they feel the need to because they're fucking religious nutjobs.

[TurdBerglar]

that's what it appears to be, yes

[beastieangel01]

it costs about $30 a pop here.

i knew a girl who went to her doc so frequently to get it, he gave her a whole box of the shit. she told me that if i ever needed some, to come to her, so i could skip the doc's appointment.

but, now you can just get it over the counter from almost any pharmacy.

easy-as-pie.

where do you live?

Most places I know do not at ALL offer it over the counter. I didn't even know that happened anywhere...

[DandyFop]

Only 15 bucks, whew. It was more expensive the first time I got it about a year and a half ago...this time I was just like "hey gimme that shit" and the chick's all "yeah, slut".

Has it made you violently ill yet? :(

I remember having to puke over, and over, and over...

[DandyFop]

Nope...it didn't make me sick last time either

I usually never experience side effects of drugs

Sooo sophisticated.

[QueenAdrock]

I'm gonna have to agree with super-drunk sex sucking. Just because I need my concentration to get my swerve on, and I'm wayyyy too ADD when I'm drunk.

I had a freakout today too. I heard that sperm can live in your system for 3-5 days and I needed my pill today and I couldn't find them because my parents moved to NC yesterday and dumped off their excess crap at my place and stuff is impossible to find. Plus, since I just ordered my new pack 2 weeks ago, my insurance wouldn't cover another pack so soon. Plus I couldn't even get EC because they're all closed today until Wednesday for the holiday.

So I started to cry about how I couldn't find my pills and my brother was like "Why are you so upset? If you don't have sex in the next month, then you won't have a problem." And in my fragile state of mind, I yell back "NO! I can still get pregnant if I've had sex in the past week! I need my goddamn pills!" And then he called my parents to find out where it might be and told them "Diana needs her birth control, it's an emergency." Ah, god. Now my parents know I'm doin' it.(n)

[DandyFop]

I'm definitely not an advocate for drunk sex being the only sex, but it's been a few months since it was that crazy and funny. It's good because sometimes i feel a bit shy asking for certain things, or I don't know, doing it in a weird place in the apartment or something, but booze helps that along a little bit.

Though overall, just plain old awesome sex with the dude is the best :o

[cosmo105]

eww.

[DandyFop]

hey! don't you ew me, ho. I've told you much more ew things than that! that wasn't so bad

[cosmo105]

not you. i really didn't need to imagine ds' sperm still in QA. reeeeaaaally didn't.

[QueenAdrock]

hahaha...yeah, I guess it's a lot less gross if you don't know who I'm talking about.

:-/

[iceygirl]

not you. i really didn't need to imagine ds' sperm still in QA. reeeeaaaally didn't.

double standard

[DandyFop]

I wonder if DS's sperm says "aboot"

on the way to the egg

they're all

WHAT'S THIS ABOOT??

So it's like the opening scene in Look Who's Talking

except Canadian

[jackrock]

Right, because we always say that.
and can we please stop talking about droppn's sperm?

[DandyFop]

okay okay, geez, I don't know what the fuss is all aboot

soory

[jackrock]

hey, it's your thread, you can talk about DS' sperm if you want to, don't let me stand in the way of good fun.

After sex with Brett, I'm DrippinScience.

HAHAHA

Okay, I'll stop. :(

HAHAHA



that was awesome i love puns

[HEIRESS]

I had to take that shit 2 weeks ago after there was some "break on through to the other side" action

I use contraceptive foam too but Im extremely insane about not having babies so I went a'runnin to the pharmacy

it cost me 50 bones cause I am a cheap bastard and didnt sign up for work extended medical cause I never get sick but ah well

they just give it to you but make you fill out a form making sure you wont have any adverse health effects

I didnt get sick at all
nopenope

jesus christ I gotta go get an IUD and be done with all this fake hormone foam condom bullshit

[QueenAdrock]

Yeah dude, I want IUD. It can be put in for like up to 5 years, and it costs $30 for insertion. Which is a LOT better than $22 a month for the pill.

[HEIRESS]

and Ive been lookin into centchroman (http://www.reproline.jhu.edu/english/1fp/1advances/old/1centch/ceorvw.htm)
It is only available in India (totally on the forefront of birth control methods because of their overpopulation problem) but apparently you can order it online

fuck I hate fake hormones, Id take the chemical route anyday of the week

Thanks for that image. (y)

[cosmo105]

i can't find a doctor that will give me an IUD. i've asked around. they say that because of my smallish frame, there's just too much danger in putting one in because 1) i haven't had kids yet so it probably wouldn't even fit in there (THAT'S THE DAMN POINT, I DON'T WANT KIDS YET), and 2) there's a very high possibility that it could rupture something if i moved the wrong way. even sneezed or coughed too hard. it'd puncture stuff that should not be punctured. :(

i'm considering the diaphram/cap route, but again, those work better for women that have already had kids. i really should get a prescription of that EC, though, just in case...sounds pretty scary when it happens.

[DandyFop]

Yeah I think I should get another thing of EC just to have on hand...what I really should do is be on birth control plus condom usage, but I just hate having to take those pills. When I used to take them, I think it might have diminished my sex drive, and I really don't want that.

What is IUD?

BARF

[The Notorious LOL]

I know of at least 3 girls who got pregnant on IUD

[Documad]

The IUD still gives me the willies because I always think of the Dalkon Shield. It's like saying "asbestos" to me.

It also does nothing re STDs. (I can't tell you how many of my friends got an STD while in a "committed relationship" so don't roll your eyes at the old lady.)

[TurdBerglar]

so the ram this IUD thing up the cervix?

[iceygirl]

yeah, last i heard they dont really know how or why it works, but it does. kinda weird.

[hitmonlee]

it costs about $30 a pop here.

i knew a girl who went to her doc so frequently to get it, he gave her a whole box of the shit. she told me that if i ever needed some, to come to her, so i could skip the doc's appointment.

but, now you can just get it over the counter from almost any pharmacy.

easy-as-pie.

if she has to take it that often why doesn't she just go on the pill.

[Burnout18]

yo im not reading three pages worth so forgive me if someone said this,,,, but if u can get to a health center of a university i know my girl got her morning after pill for like 15 bucks,,,, thats pretty cheap and she said she never showed her school id...

But shit if they do need to show id, im goi to start buying them for 15 bucks and selling them for 60$$$$$$.

[HEIRESS]

IUD

STAY IN SCHOOL
CAUSE ITS THE BEST

[na§tee]

in the uk you can buy from a pharmacy over the counter for £50 (about $92), if you are over 16.
but in most areas, actually most of england, it's free. local authority agreements.
i don't really agree with this. as i know of some fools who would use it as contraception per se, and totally ignore the "emergency" nature of it. it also puts silly 13 year olds off just shagging their boyfriend without a condom on for the craic if it's expensive.
of course, if you are a responsible adult who has had an accident, there are ways to get it free if you can bear waiting for an emergency appointment with your doctor/family planning clinic and getting him to write a wee prescription out.

the one & only time it happened to me (condom breakage!) it was a sunday and i couldn't be arsed with that shit so i just called nhs direct, they pointed me in the direction of a pharmacy nearby that sold it, i went along looking sheepish with a "but it was with the one and only man i've ever slept with and we've been together for five years, bitch don't give me that look" face.
