I felt completely alone going to the pharmacy

Illustrated portrait of a woman.

Written by: Anonymous, London, 19

I had to take the morning after pill following unprotected sex.

I felt completely alone going to the pharmacy and my heart was pounding as I asked the male pharmacist for ellaOne. It wasn’t that he was difficult or awkward but there was an unspoken atmosphere between the two of us. Almost as if he was as embarrassed as I was.

ellaOne® 30mg film-coated tablet contains ulipristal acetate and is indicated for emergency contraception within 120 hours (5 days) of unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. Always read the label.
