Q: a morning after shot ??

I had a young man, who is like a sibling to me, approach me the other day for money. He stated that he had $60 and needed another $120 to purchase a woman that he was with the night prior "the morning after shot". He had used a condom, but unfortunately it had broke and as a result he wanted to be on the safe side and take her in for a morning after pill. She had stated in the past that the standard birth control pill had given her problems and wanted "the shot" instead. From everything I have read, I have not seen anything on a "morning after shot" only a shot that is used similar to birth control and will only be administered after a negative pregnancy test. Does a morning after shot exist? If so, does it have milder side effects than the morning after pill (which I know acts nothing like birth control)? Finally, how much would such a shot cost?

The morning after pill ACTS JUST LIKE REGULAR BIRTH CONTROL.

I am a health care professional.. That statement you made is just plain wrong.

Morning after pill PREVENTS ovulation. IF you have already ovulated, it basically is not going to have much of any effect.

No, there is no morning after shot.

There is the morning after pill, which is effective if used within five days of sex (most effective in three days)
Or sometimes they'll insert an IUD as an emergency procedure for this reason.

But the shot is just birth control.
