You have up to 3 days to take the pill after sex it stops the egg from fertilizing in the uterus you will know if it worked by your next period.. it should come at the regular time if your more then a week late you could be pregnant. You should be pretty safe if you use a condom, no birth control and the morning after pill.. im not on birth control i just use condoms and condoms are 99.9% effective. So those alone are good. And if you take the morning after pill you don't need to worry at all youd be fine.
you have to have it prescribed buy your doctor if your under 16, unless you go to Panned Parenthood they may give it to you depending on your state.

You are right that you can't know if you are pregnant that early. You take it if there's a chance you could be pregnant. If you used a condom and then took the pill right after that and then took another one in the morning like the directions tell you, than it would make it alot less likely for you to get pregnant, but there is no guarantee that you wont.
If you're 16, you should get a prescription for it at the doctor, and it's usually cheaper that way. But for adults, you can get it at pretty much any pharmacy without a prescription so if you know any adults that would do that for you...
