I live in California and I took the morning after pill when I was raped when I was 18 - The trauma of being raped was horrific but the idea that I'd get pregnant with this vile person's child went beyond any fear I've ever felt. Abortion wasn't as accessible back then and I didn't want it to come to that. I went to Planned Parenthood the next morning and they made me a prompt appointment for testing, assessment, and a Pap smear. They were so kind, nonjudgmental, and understanding of my situation. They provided me with a morning after pill, explained the side effects, and how to use it. The brand I used was called Plan B One-Step and I got my pap, my testing, and my morning after pill free of charge after applying for a program PP offers. Not only this but, at the time, I was dealing with blaming myself for the whole situation so I wasn't ready to tell anyone what had happened. I lied to my doctor about being raped so that she wouldn't report it but I was afraid she'd have to call my legal guardian anyway. They promised full confidentiality and even ensure they won't say they are from PP if they call with my test results. Whenever I can, I donate to Planned Parenthood because they made a traumatic experience far less stressful and less shameful. Anyway, that's my story with the morning after pill and Planned Parenthood. I don't know if I would have gotten pregnant but the morning after pill eased that fear and I'm so glad it exists. Thought I'd share.
Thanks for sharing. It's good to hear that they made a terrible situation one thing less awful.
Sssophie Thanks for the supportive comment :) And everyone who is giving the 👍🏻 You're all very sweet.
Stephanie Dayonot Wow thanks for sharing ... I hope you recovered well.. I'm glad you shared how great PP is because they definitely need more donations!
zA plan Physically, I recovered quickly. Psychologically, I had to go to years of therapy for that and other abuse issues. Though I don't know that I'll ever find "peace" with what happened, I did eventually get to a place where it stopped affecting things like my self-worth, my body image, and my relationships. I dealt with some intense shame and PTSD but I am a perfectly heathy (mentally and physically) sexually active adult now :) Thanks to places like Planned Parenthood and the brave women that have shared their similar stories and struggles.
Glad to hear you're doing well :) It can't be easy dealing with something like that. 👊
This series is a fucking BLESSING.
Also important to mention: you can be allergic to the pill.
If you notice any weird rash, itching, swollen lips or tongue, shortness of breath, or other reactions for up to 24 hrs after you took the pill, just get your ass to the ER asap.
Cătălina Radu yes yes yes
oh my god WHAT? Really? How does this work?
4 years ago when I was 18 is when I first took the morning after pill and I remember saying to the pharmacy when they tried to charge me like 30 quid for it: "isnt it free for people under 25?" and because I questioned them, they couldn't argue with me about it since I also had my ID on me ;) so I've never had to pay for it (not that I've taken many times, only 3 times in my life because I'm super paranoid about getting pregnant!)
I really wish I'd known that before. I was so poor at university and I had to pay the full amount on a couple of occasions. I'm so annoyed because they asked for DoB along with other information. This was the pharmacy in Tescos >
I can't remember how I found out about it, I think I must have googled "how to get the morning after pill for free" and saw it's free for young adults (bless the NHS) :P
It depends on the pharmacy. Some pharmacies offer it for free and others do it privately and so you have to pay £26. But a little bit of research online will tell you where you can get it for free in your local area.
***** i mean, don't quote me on it as i learned this 4 years ago, it might have changed today! Haha well that's another way you can get it I guess! ;)
I also have a medical exception card, but I dunno if I can use that with the morning after pill.. ***** do you know the answer to this? :)
***** that is okay! Hannah is very informative, I just thought I'd add this little tip to save us gals some money ^_^
I've had so many people try to tell me the morning after pill is an abortion in pill form....oh my god IT IS NOT AT ALL
Karen Mae on a psychological level it technically could be if you think about it; but scientifically speaking, you are correct.
Alex Betts Then are you also saying that taking any kind of contraception is abortion?
Hannah clearly states the difference in the video; one *prevents* a pregnancy, the other *terminates* a pregnancy that has already occurred.
Karen Mae ikr, they're logic is basically saying "NOPE YOU CSNT USE CONDOMS THAT ABORTIONNNN" and honestly I don't understand why it's any of their business if someone has an abortion or not anyway
just to clear up this is not my opinion, I'm just saying I know a few people who feel this way and it's fair to respect their opinions. Also, they are in no way complaining about other people's uses of contraception but merely their own.
Thank you Hannah - another video I can use to dodge/support a uncomfortable conversation I may have to have with my daughter. :)
Just the episode I was waiting for! I'm originally from Malta and the MAP was only made available a few weeks ago... and not all pharmacies want to stock it either! Abortion is illegal there and for some unfortunate reason MANY people think it's abortive. There have been intense debates about it and so many misconceptions and anger to this day. The pill was never illegal but was never available. Hope you don't mind me sharing this video on a FB group full of Maltese women. You explain everything perfectly, thank you!
Cheers for the reply! Will definitely share it :) And yeah I actually took it for granted it was available up until the petitions started. Those who are against the MAP have been asking for an app with all the pharmacies who have it in stock it so that they can boycott them. It's all messy and all for lack of education. Hopefully things will move even further this year and it will be made available in all pharmacies! Thanks again for this episode + the whole series actually!
Take a boat and buy it in Italy.
Only if you are a minor you need a medical prescription now.
pile333 it's available now at least :)
.
god bless the creators of the morning after pill...my college days could have ended very differently haha
i am 14 years old and i showed these videos to my twenty one year old sister and she is so grateful!! we're learning so much and my sister has gotten some really handy tips
marisol straffon Cool!
I love how real you are and this serious is just amazing!!
I feel like Hannah's video's should be on the British school curriculum. As a 14 year old I am dragged to school. I have to watch a near dying biology teacher once a fortnight regurgitate a sexual education text book. Yeah it is great but it's so fucking formal. If they just whacked on one of Hannah's video everyone would pay attention because she's a cool casual Millennial like us.😂😂😂
Lindsay from Sexplanations is also great, if you're interested :)
Hugo Clarke you're too young to be a millennial lol
Lydia Grace no a millennial is just some one born in the new millennia
hihi if hannah was a millenial she would be 16 now or max 17 ;)
but i get your point :) i like her explanation ^^
Freya Reynaert but she was naturalised in the new millennia
Feeling the need to let you know how amazing I think you are, Hannah! Your videos are always so helpful, concerning such a width of topics that teenagers - or even "grown-ups" may want to find information about. You deserve SO much more recognition. Lots of love.
Yessss more people need to see this series, as a young girl who was in a bit of a situation I would have loved to have seen these a couple of years ago ❤ much love Hannah! Carry on being amazing 😘
This is probably my favourite series on youtube right now
Even though it doesn't apply to me, I really like the fact that you use your channel to spread useful information
The timing of this video! On the weekend I needed to get the morning after pill but I live in the countryside and I don't drive so I couldn't go anywhere but I knew I could order it online off super drug which was the most stressful experience ever. The service for immediate use wasn't available but the service for later use was so I used it but as I wrote in my notes that I had unprotected sex in the past three days the doctor denied my request because I needed it immediately instead of later (stupid, i know) so I had to reorder it, once again the immediate service was down so I used the later use service again but lied. So finally I got my request accepted but it ended up costing £80 because the first request was paid for so I had to wait for a refund and I had to pay for next day delivery because I live in Northern Ireland so next day means 2 days. This is the second time I've used it, this time the side effects weren't bad but the first time was horrendous.
Also I'm loving this series, thank you so much for making it
Doesn't help that the package arrived when I was at work so I had to stress about my very Christian mum opening it 😂 although shoutout to super drug for discreet packaging and also shoutout for my mum for not opening my mail 😂
i'd say maybe order some now just to keep around for in case!

I find it so frustrating that generally our sex education in the UK is so poor. The only time I had to take this I was so terrified, luckily the NHS website is pretty good when it comes to basic information relating to health. This video is so good, informative, clear and useful - thanks for making it Hannah.
I love this series SO MUCH! Thank you for all the information and positivity - you present it all in such a friendly and non-patronising way ☺❤ xo
This is the number one youtube channel out there. Hannnah your doing wonders for so many that just need some information!! You also make people feel more at ease with there natural body functions, so thank you for putting yourself out there as a leader!!
Geez in the US the morning after pill is usually like 40 dollars! (I've even seen it as high as 60 dollars) Totally wish it was cheaper like in the UK.
NaturalPureCurly19 well in the U.K. It's in pounds and 30 pounds is relatively similar to 40 dollars so you'd actually pay the same amount in both places
You can get it for free in UK as well, depends where you go and your attitude when you ask for it :P (it is free for under 25 year olds under the NHS)
its free for young people in an attempt to reduce teen pregnanacy... however the uk still has high rates so for some reason it isn't working...
$60 from CVS... yea.
My friend paid 75 I think, which is mad. Eeek :/
Awesome video! Super comprehensive and spoken in real people words not doctor speak. Love it.
Also love that on your world map in the background, you haven't cropped darling lil New Zealand out, when you so easily could have. As a country often missed from maps, we appreciate every bit of recognition 😍😍
it's so great you make videos like this!! there's so much misinformation and general fear-mongering out there surrounding many sexual topics. thank you for providing accurate information in an engaging and casual way!1
This was a really interesting episode. I've been the support for a friend when she went to get the morning after pill but never been in that position myself (touch wood) I feel like I'm learning more from this series than i ever did in school (23 and still learning!)
BIG BIG love from a small RUclipsr!
Keep doing what your doing x
It's really amazing you're doing this, Hannah! Wish I had had someone like you to turn to back in the day :D Xx
This is honestly the most useful and helpful sponsored video that I've ever seen. I'm so glad to know a little bit more about the morning after pill!
Such important information. Thank you for spreading the info, Hannah!
Keep this series up, it's gold!❤Xx
I'm glad to hear you share that you felt fine after taking the morning after pill! I had the same experience where I thought the morning after pill would make me so nauseous--my gym teacher had told me that I would be on the toilet all weekend long if I ever took the morning after pill--and I didn't feel anything out of the ordinary at all. It's good to know about the possible side-effects, but also keep in mind that it's usually never that bad and unless you have some health contradiction to taking emergency contraception, you shouldn't let horror stories scare you (especially from people who used emergency contraception 15+ years ago as it was much different then).
I just binged this series. These are great!
Awesome video! Love how you always dispell myths, such an important part of sexual health! ❤
Really enjoying this series. Which is somewhat surprising because I am male and not sexually active. Just interesting stuff that I wouldn't know otherwise. This video was especially interesting. Keep it up!
Same. I'm asexual but I find this series really informative and interesting 👍
love this series! I honestly never knew this website was here so thank you!!
I had to get the morning after pill when I was 18 but it was free from my local health clinic. My boyfriend at the time went with me and it was all super easy! However, I had really intense mood swings after taking it and wound up crying in my eye doctor's office during an appointment I had later that day. That was an adventure!
Really appreciate this video! So informative and necessary :)
Lloyds online doctor service is fab! I've used it once before when I was stuck for an inhaler and it was super simple to use. Absolutely recommend!
thank you for this video!!!
This also gives me the chance to get my pill check up done at a pharmacy, rather than wait weeks and weeks for a doctors appointment xx
You're awesome Hannah! Loving this series 😊
this series has answered so many of my questions.
very educational, got some information that will definitely come in handy later on, thank you for this series!
I'm really enjoying this series Hannah! xx
Taken the morning after pill twice, didn't know a lot of this information! The last time was about 4/5 years ago now but still valuable, thanks Hannah :)
This is such a blessing thank you so much
Thank you for this video and whole series! Loveeeeeeeeeeeee
Never been excited about the morning after pill until I saw the notification for this
Amazing that you got asked to do this! Go Hannah!
These videos are so inforamtive and it's very refreshing to see someone talk openly about things like this which NEED to be talked about. Thanks Hannah!
I took the morning after pill about a month ago for the first time ever and because nobody was in the pharmacies near me that could approve it or somethingridiculous like that, poor 17 year old clueless me who had the flu and her similarly clueless boyfriend had to pay £30 for it. Even though it was worth it (with the not being pregnant while still a minor without a degree and all that) it would have been nice to not waste Christmas present money but you live, you learn innit.
This is awesome! I'm very glad you've made this video :)
As an additional side effect, it isn't uncommon to get thrush after taking the pill.
These vids are awesome, while not personally relevant, it never hurts to know what a future partner can or is going through.
cute lipstick. also this is the best series on youtube keep doing them you're awesome
Someone's probably mentioned this already, but I feel like I need to mention that it is not easy to get everywhere and usually isn't free. That part of the video only applies to the UK. I know it's also available over the counter from pharmacies in Spain but it's not free there. In the US it depends on which state you're in; it should be easy to get but also not free (it can cost up to $50) and some states may require a prescription from a doctor. In Germany it's by prescription only and not covered by insurance, so also not free. I'm not sure about other countries but it will vary depending on where you are.
Yussss been waiting for a new episode to watch!
Great series Hannah!
I learnt a lot in this video! Thanks for the info. So glad I will never get pregnant and don't have to worry about contraception and MAP. Seems so stressful when people have scares.
this sponsorship is very fitting for this channel ⭐️
Great episode Hannah! One thing I always wondered was if it's okay to have an emergency pill at home for future use, or if it was intended for immediate consumption. Thanks for clearing that up ☺
I think it's great to have this. I sadly was so sick when I took it. worth it! a week or two later because I am sensitive to hormones I had the worst period of my life. But some pain killers and time fixed it.
Just found your channel ! So informational !
I do not comment often on vids but big congrats Hannah for doing this video! It is the kind of information that needs to be put out there for girls to know beforehand!!
Keep up with the great content :)
Btw I currently live in Gibraltar that is part of the UK and discovered that the morning after pill is only available with a doctor's prescription.. basically if you have sex on a Friday you have to wait till Monday to see your doctor and cannot be assured that they would agree to prescribe it... it is really a shameful situation. Hopefully you can cross the border and head to any pharmacy in Spain and buy it.
I love this series and im so early omgomgomg
I've been loving this series because I'm an eleven year old girl and I'm so interested in all of this information for when I'm older. I could never talk to my mum about this stuff so it's great that people like you and Melanie Murphy for making videos about sex and hormones. Thankyou 😊 PMS Party and The Hormone Diaries are two of my favourite series right now!
Thank you so much for this series, it teaches me everything the school sex ed failed to teach!
Lovely timing!
I had to take it last year. It was night and I totally panicked, but my boyfriend was calm and sweet and tried his best to calm me down. The next morning we went to the pharmacy together and got it. He payed half of the price, I payed the other half. I didn't feel too well for a while, but nothing major... He tried to distract me and took very good care of me. I'm so grateful he was there and kept his calm for me. I know he was worried, too, but in that moment he didn't show it and was simply there for me, preventing me from having a full on panik attack :D
This was such a great video! I had no idea there were two types of morning after pill - the school nurse during my sex ed classes would just say it will only work up to 3 days after and didn't give us ANY info on how to get it
These conversations are so important !!!!!!
yay i love this series!!!!
This is a really great video. 👌🏼
Ahh, love this series!
I have had to take the morning after pill on 2 occasions. The first I was 15 and petrified, I didn't know at the time you could get it from the pharmacist without consulting a doctor first so I asked my mum to buy it instead. I then threw that up within an hour (had pretty bad nausea and headache as side effects) so she went and bought another. I cost her £45 that day, she was not too happy. However, the second time I took it I was 19 and it was absolutely fine, no side effects at all.
I have tried being on the pill/ most other forms of contraception but I get really bad side effects with the pill and the PMS/ rage.. jeeeeeeez. :') I only rely on condoms, which have been very effective (except those 2 occasions it broke), but I'd say pretty successful. I am looking at other forms of contraception atm as well though just to be extra safe! So really appreciating this series! Thank you Hannah :)
You can get the morning after pill for free there?! Damn. I live in the US (Texas) and it costs $50 at the drugstore.
This was a great video, really interesting. My school was fairly crap with PSHE past the pill and condoms. The most I can remember is having a lesson on it and then a test the next week where we had a list of the different contraceptives (ie pill, implant etc) and had to put them in a column saying whether it was a male/female preventative (ie guy wears a condom, girl takes the pill) and then saying what they did to stop pregnancy. Literally, that was it.
I also thought the myth of the morning after pill only working the day after was true so it was nice for it to be debunked.
hey! that's where I work! its a great service guys! Definitely recommend it!
i think you really really do a good job with this series, especially for younger girls, i wish i would have known someone, who makes all of it sound so easy and unproblematic. i had good sex ed in school, but it all always remained kind of a mysterious subject. Sex and Health can be a little scary, when you did not have any or little experience, so i am sure, you are really helping many people with your videos :)
Love this video Hannah! Do you happen to know if it's true that each time you take the morning after pill, the less effective it gets? I've been told that quite a few times but I'm not sure if it's actually true.
It's super cool that this service exists! In Germany, there was a huge debate on whether the morning after pill should be freely distributed in pharmacies not very long ago. I'm not even sure if the legislation changed, but people used to be required to talk to a doctor about the consequences of taking emergency contraception before being "allowed" to pick it up at a pharmacy.
Your video was incredibly insightful, and I really want to research if something like this exists in Germany as well.
ah I just checked it: You don't need to visit a doctor anymore in order to get emergency contraception in Germany, but there's a "discrete interview" at the pharmacy about all the information you mentioned as well (time of unprotected sex, allergies, side effects). BUT: it costs between 14 - 30 euros which I just think is crazy.
Thank you, Hannah 💚
I always thought that the morning after pill started your period immediately after taking it! Thank you for enlightening me Hannah! Great video!
I had to take one recently, when my IUS and felt sooo awkward about it my god, I really could have done with this video before then, you make everything seem less awkward and more sense
Wish there was something like Lloyds Pharmacy Online Doctor in Spain! I've only had to take the morning after pill once and I was terribly shy and so scared of going into the pharmacy!
I live in the US and when you said it's FREE in the UK my heart stopped. It's $50 per pill (a little cheaper for generic) here jeeeezus
I've taken the morning after pill 3 times in one year. I had just had my second baby in March of 2010 and that year I ended needing it 3 times. My doctor was struggling to find a method of birth control that I didn't have a reaction to so my husband and I were relying on condoms. I have a latex allergy and latex free condoms were joke back then. It didn't matter what brand you bought, if you used lube or not, they would constantly break. I called a free health advice line they have here in Canada and was advised to go to the pharmacy and get Plan B. Never had a reaction it and it was super easy to get. It was $40 for one treatment. Fortunately I got my tubes tied at the end of that year and have never had to worry about it since.
The morning after pill is free in your country? That's amazing!
In the US you can get the morning after pill at almost any super center without seeing a doctor or a pharmacist which is pretty awesome. I've never had to use it, but I know it's easy to get if I do need it.
Just a heads up, Levonelle is available for free from Boots if you are willing to share personal information to the available pharmacist. EllaOne is also available from them but they do charge about £35 for it (it is marginally more effective though)
pretty sure its free to anyone under 25!
What happened to your nose?
Samantha Thomas I'm 18 and I had to pay £26 for levonelle from boots three days ago :/
***** Your nose!!
I LOVE THIS even tho I will probably never take the MAP because I'm going to need IVF to have kids which is kinda sad but yeah. Great vid!!!!
Wow very interesting! Thanks
Oh god, my grammar senses are tingling!
"Llyods Pharmacy" was written on the whiteboard!
i can't believe this is the 7th video!!! time has gone by so fast
I went to get the morning after pill when I was 16 and was denied it from my local Lloyds pharmacy... thought that was a bit strange!
A just in case morning after pill is a good thing to have on hand. When I was traveling through Europe for a few months with one of my friends we both had a "just in case" pill. We didn't want to end up in a country where we didn't speak the language trying to get a hold of one.
"Llyods..." oh, Hannah
Beck I commented the same thing aha
I'll like your comments for moral support, other Beckys...
Thank you for the informative video! Bookmarked under "show the kids when they start puberty" :) So much better than the sex-ed we had in school.
Also, will def need to order one to have in the house 👍
I don't know if you would be able to do this, but I'd love it you did a hormone diary entry about abortion. There's so much stigma surrounding it and it never gets talked about enough x
I have had one experience with the morning after pill I don't remember it well I just remember walking into boots and asking for it. Pretty smooth really
Amazing amazing video 😍
One LIFESAVING tip: Always have a morning after pill in your house! If the condom breaks, you don't have to panic, because you already have a morning after pill. It prevents stress and money when you don't really have it (since it's quite expensive). My mom saved me like this and I returned the favor to my roommate when she had an accident.
I wish there was something like Lloyds in America that sounds great
We need this in the US!
I remember once a few years ago when I was 17 my friend (also 17) needed to get the morning after pill after a broken condom scare and we found out that even though the age of consent in Ireland is 17, pharmacist couldn't give the morning after pill to anyone under the age of 18 without their parents permission! She did end up getting it off a pharmacist who effectively broke the law to give her it but I always thought that was such a strange law!
When you mentioned birth control failing, I had really hoped you'd mention the other things that could affect the pill (antibiotics, grapefruit, etc). I've found so many people aren't aware of that being a thing. Also would like to hear about MAP and weight. I've heard that it's not as effective for those over a certain weight, but haven't found out if that's true or not.
