The morning after pill is a high dose of
progestogen (a synthetic hormone which
replicates progesterone which is produced
by your ovaries). The sooner you take it
the more effective it is. It usually
delays or prevents ovulation, although it
may prevent implantation by altering the
lining of the womb.
I'm not sure where you are but here
(england) the type usually used is a
singular pill. I can't tell you how to
obtain it anywhere other than here but if
you are in england then go to your local
famiyl planning clinic or your doctor (you
can buy it over the counter if you're 16+
). You must take it within 72hours of
sex.
You may feel sick afterwards but if you
vomit within three hours then you'll have
to take another as it wont work (although
most women aren't actually sick). You may
also have a bit of spotting between taking
it and your period and your next period
may be delayed slightly.
If you are planning on having sex
regularly then you need to think about
contraception and should speak to a
professional about it. Also, at your age
(or any age for that matter) make sure
you're engaging in sexual behaviour for
the right reasons and not
because you're being pressured or feel as
though you "have to"

If you're in england you get it from the
pharmacy. Sometimes they ask/make? You
fill out a form before they sell you it.
