vaginapaginaI 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?

Basically, your real risk here is whether or not semen actually came in contact with your vagina. If this is the case, then there may be a risk of pregnancy. However, from the sounds of it, it may be unlikely that this occured.
I would personally not seek EC because of this incident, but if it will be better for your peace of mind then you should do what makes things better for you!
According to our EC Vulvapedia entry (http://www.vaginapagina.com/index.php?title=Emergency_Contraception_FAQ), emergency contraception isn't available over-the-counter in New York yet. However, any Planned Parenthood or sexual health clinic should be able to prescribe it for you.
