My partner and I were grinding/rubbing against each other and he came (outside), and he wants me to take the morning after pill. I've looked up the side-effects as well, although there seems to be three types, and on a lot of sites they were lumped together. (Nausea, vomiting, bleeding etc.) I have a very regular period time-wise, but it's gotten very severe in the last few years. (I take meds which usually relieve the worst bits)
I want to be safe, but I don't want to make myself sick either! Can anyone tell me how severe the side-effects are - my period can be incapacitating to say the least! I don't know if that means anything? I'm afraid that I would get very sick and need to go to a doctor (who might be very judgemental or not want to help me)
I've never had intercourse. He was concerned, though I thought the chances were very low, but the articles I read said any same-sex genital/genital contact - does that include if he came towards the front of my vulva instead of very near the vaginal opening? Usually if we do anything we use a condom.
Basically I'm concerned that the side-effects would be linked with my period, which can be scary and maybe serious (since I wouldn't have taken my period meds)? But having a child would be far more serious, so I will 95% take it.
It says if I start vomiting I should see a doctor - I think if I look for a younger one I would be more likely to find someone supportive?
My partner really wants me to take it and is ready to travel with me to another town or city today to get it.
For context abortion is illegal in my country, and I've heard a story or two of people being refused the pill. I definitely don't want to end up having to even consider that choice, and if I did I am certain I would be shamed if anyone found out.
Also it could delay my period, so I think I should take a pregnancy test if it does... do I need to take more than one?
I don't know if you can answer any of this - hopefully it's coherent, it's way longer than I intended. I don't want to make myself very sick unnecessarily, and I want to find an un-judgemental doctor if I need one. Hopefully I'm not being too silly!?

I've read the "Pregnancy Fear and Anxiety Policy". I am not sure if this post is okay, but I hope it is. I've used the website since forever, and I definitely do not mean to be disrespectful!!!
