The stigma surrounding the morning after pill gives me anxiety

Illustrated portrait of a woman.

Written by Anonymous

I have used the morning after pill before, and as grateful as I am for it, the stigma surrounding it gives me anxiety.

I hate the stares I got when I walked up to the pharmacy and asked for the emergency contraceptive pill. Sometimes accidents happen. I just wish that there was less stigma against the use of emergency contraceptive pills.

ellaOne® 30mg film-coated tablet contains ulipristal acetate and is indicated for emergency contraception within 120 hours (5 days) of unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. Always read the label.
