How Many Times Can I Take the Morning After Pill?
I took the morning after pill or emergency pill or whatever you call it like two weeks ago after my boyfriend had sex with me and we didn't use a condom. I think I took it like twice before that time though but it's been weeks ago so I don't remember. We had sex again last night and didn't use a condom and I want to take the morning after pill again. I was talking to my best friend on the phone and she said she heard taking it too much can be harmful or whatever. We got in this BIG argument and I kept telling her that if it was dangerous or whatever then they wouldn't sell it to me because they would get sued or whatever.
Anyways, I just want to know how many times they will sell it to you? I don't want to go and get embarrassed if they say NO or something stupid. I mean, I don't want to get pregnant so I'm being responsible here by buying it so I don't know why they might deny me it but I just want to make sure.
Thanks.

They will sell it to you as many times as you ask for it. It's not embarassing for them because that's how they make money.
The more times you take it, the LESS affective the pill is. You took it way too many times, and it's only been a few weeks apart.
You're not being responsible by taking the pill every time you have sex. You're actually increasing your risk of getting pregnant because your body will be immune to the pill, and simply won't work anymore.
Condoms are much cheaper than paying $40 dollars for one pill.
But like I said, the more you take the pill, the less affective it is. You're friend is right and you shouldn't of yelled at her.
Good luck!

It's recommended you only take it once per cycle, simply because of some small risk of blood clotting. A pharmacist or doctor might refuse to to sell it to you under these conditions - but if you lie to them, they can't be sued because of your dishonesty.
Other than that, there is no limit I've ever heard. I can't imagine there would be much more risk of taking it regularly than taking other oral contraceptives. But of course - no one has really studied it that closely yet I'd bet.
USE A CONDOM. EVERYTIME. ALL THE TIME. OR GO ON NORMAL BIRTH CONTROL. OR STOP HAVING SEX.
PlanB is exactly that - PlanB. When you don't use any other form of contraceptive you are trying to make it PlanA and that is irresponsible and foolish. Just because no one will withhold PlanB from you, and will let you buy it again and again, doesn't make it any less irresponsible.
Just because someone will let you do something doesn't make it a good idea. Please to God, develop a better contraception plan. You are playing Russian roulette with your fertility. The possibility of being embarrassed is the least of the risks you are taking.
