I didn’t understand how the morning after pill worked
Written by: Anonymous, 26, London
I risked an unplanned pregnancy when I was about 22 because I didn’t understand how the morning after pill worked.
I was doing a drama workshop and I didn’t want to get bad side effects.
I hadn’t had full ejaculatory unprotected sex, but there could have been some precum. I didn’t get pregnant, but it wasn’t worth the risk.
I ended up taking ellaOne a few years later after the condom broke and it was absolutely fine – I was still nervous about feeling sick and having bad stomach cramps/projectile vomiting, but none of that happened.
