I had protected sex 2 nights ago. Last night, I started vomiting and also had abdominal pain, but not a lot. I got scared, so today, my boyfriend (who is 17) went to the pharmacy and bought Next Choice. I am under 17, but I am not going to see a doctor. I'm scared of what might happen if I take it, but I don't know why I would be having abdominal pain. Please help ASAP

Hi Anon,

Welcome to EmpowHER. According to Next Choice, it should be taken within the next 72 hours of unprotected sex, sexual attack or suspected contraceptive failure. If you had protected sex, you should be fine. The abdominal and vomiting might be due to any other condition. Such a cold, flu and many more. Two days after having sex, it's too early to have any pregnancy symptoms.

Here are some resources for you,
