Plan B is really only meant to be used in an emergency, not 2 times a month.

That is because of the side effects, such as nausea, irregular periods, and it is not as effective as using regular BC methods.

If you are going to have sex you should really use regular BC. It would not only be more effective, but it will also cause fewer side effects.

Personally I'd break up with your boyfriend. What sick jerk LIES about using a condom?! He's not the one freaking out about being pregnant, YOU are. That's just disgusting. The potential pregnancy is not a joke.

I'd take a pregnancy test just to soothe your fears.

I don't think you technically "overdosed" but the symptoms you're experiencing are likely due to it.

That being said, it's probably still just as effective, meaning you're probably not pregnant.

I agree with Eiri- he lied about using a condom? Was he trying to get you pregnant? Were you drunk or something?

Girl, get on the pill, especially if your bf isn't concerned about protection. You need to protect yourself.

NO ONE needs parental permission or consent to get birth control.

Planned parenthood is not always free, in NC, my state, they are not well funded, so it is FAR from free.

MOST states have better funding.

Your local "County health department" definitely will have free birth control and services for teens Smile
