Yes. If someone is under 16 and has had unprotected sex they are able to get the morning after pill. The morning after pill, also known as emergency hormonal contraception (EHC), can be used within a few days (up to 120 hours) of having unprotected sex. It works by preventing ovulation, fertilisation and the egg implanting in the uterus. It should be taken as soon as possible after the unprotected sex. You should be able to get the morning after pill at your nearest Sexual Health Service, GP or Pharmacist (if for some reason they don’t  have this they will signpost you to the nearest place to get it from). In taking the morning after pill there may be slight side effects which may include nausea, headaches tummy pain or changes with the next period starting earlier or later, but you also may not experience these. A pregnancy test should be taken 2/3 weeks after at a sexual health service to check that it has been effective. Also its really important to note that the morning after pill doesn’t protect against sexually transmitted infections (STI’s) … so advice would be to also take an STI test as well. The morning after pill is only for emergency contraception and should never be used as a form of regular contraception. Your nearest sexual health clinic will be able to give you more advice, information and support about this.
