a few questions...
ok...i have a few questions. how safe are condoms? like whats the percentage you could get pregnant.
where do you get morning after pills from? and how long after sex should you take them, how many ect...
if you have sex and dont know your pregnant, could you take them anyway? will they harm you if your not pregnant? do you only take them once or is it like a few days thing? are they 100% gaurenteed to get rid of the baby? and what actually happens. does it just get everything out? and are there sideaffects?
thankyou so much xxx

What would happen if you took the pill and werent pregnant? Well there are a few side effects with MAP possible. Nausea and such. That simply comes from the fact that you're overloading your body with hormones short term and it kind of screws it up a bit. Other than those side effects (which will come with the MAP, I dont have a full list on me), if you arent pregnant and arent going to get pregnant, nothing happens.

This is something I tell everyone.
Its not a scientific fact, its an opinion.
Condoms are not there to prevent pregnancy, theyre there to prevent STDs. Condoms are NOT reliable enough to count on. Every guy Ive ever known whos been sexually active for more than a year or so has broken one. If that happens, you are essentially completely unprotected.
You should be on birth control if you want to have sex. Period. Its a second line of defense if the condom fails thats more effective than the condom.
Take the two together, and you are pretty safe.
Ignore the first responder. She is an idiot. "No one knows the answers to this"
Condoms are quoted percentage wise as anywhere from 86 to 99% effective at preventing pregnancy. It depends on which study you are looking at. The truth behind them is that they are that effective if they do not break or have any problems with them.
The morning after pill is emergency contraception. Its basically a larger dose of normal birth control hormones. The FDA quotes the MAP as 80% effective at preventing pregnancy.
Lets clear that up though. The MAP is designed to prevent pregnancy. Normally, you don't become pregnant immediately after sex. Its not until the egg is fertilized and attaches to your uterine wall that you are officially "pregnant" and the MAP is designed to try to prevent both fertilization and attachment.
If you are already pregnant, the MAP is considered to be ineffective. It is not the same as the abortion pill, which basically forces a miscarriage.
Good resource for you.

lets be honest here, no one knows these answerss.
a lot of teens don't even understand teh importance of having safe sex.
so really, don't ask questions on here
and don't look them up online
WRONG FACTS ARE JUST AS DANGEROUS AS NOT HAVING ANY AT ALL!
call a hotline or talk to a health teacher, nurse, or parents.
please don't just.. ask online. - be safe, find out.
if you're mature enough to have sex, you are mature enough to find out the RIGHT facts, in person.
