Okay, so before I flip out..

I don't really think I have anything to worry about, but just because I'm always worrying, I thought I'd post here and get some opinions.

This morning my boyfriend and I were fooling around, and we were both in our underwear - me in a kind-of lace pair from victoria's secret, that cover but barely, and he was in his boxers, with his penis sticking out accidentally, and we were making out, and came unexpectedly and it was a little below my left hip, one my skin and my underwear and a little on my pubic hair. i wiped it off and everything afterwards, but i found something later tonight that might be dried up semen, but i know i'm also ovulating so i've been extra "gooey," so it could've been that.

anyways, what i'm asking is do i have a reason to be worried about being pregnant - and how readily available is the morning-after pill in new york city? that's where i live, and i remember hearing about something that passed a while back that made it possible to get the morning-after pill over-the-counter - but that could be wrong, though if it is available, i'd really want to get it just to be safe.

how worried should i be?

yeah, I thought sperm dies really quickly in the open-air. i think the furthest down any of it got on me was my upper-pubic hair. i think what i found on my upper "wet anatomy" was mine from ovulation.

ps: how would i go about getting EC?

You're in NYC, right? Planned Parenthood writes EC prescriptions. I don't know where you're located, but they have centers in all five boroughs, I think--I have had a good experience with the staff at the Sanger Center in the East Village (though it wasn't for EC). You can google for their website.

oh yeah - and how much does it cost?

[betterbebalboa.livejournal.com]

Cost me $20. Other people have had it cost $60 or $80. Depends on location and insurance.

I'm not sure--they took my insurance for my appointment. I know that they accept a lot of different types of insurance and that they well help you work something out if you aren't insured. My friend was charged, I believe, about $40. Best thing to do is to call them.

Many locations have EC hotlines, where you can call and talk to a practioner to prescribe EC to you over the phone. The practitioner will call the prescription into your nearest pharmacy, and you can go pick it up. The whole process only takes 45 minutes. I'm sure NYC has something of the like, if you do some googling.

BTW, I really don't think you need EC in this situation. If it would help your ease of mind, go for it, but if none spilled directly on the vulva, your chances are extremely low. Even if it did spill on the vulva, it's still not a high risk.
