I have this chick friend that keeps getting pounded and uses no birth controll at all, and 3 times know shes come to me to take her to the doctor to get the morning after pill. Now im never gona say no cause i dont want her to have a kid but im getting annoyed with it,I live in a small town and the doctors all know me by name and shit and its just wierding me out, and ive told her to smart'n up but she wont. Im supposed to take her tommorow morning again for the dam thing,but like how do u tell ur friend to stop being such and idiot without them getting pissed off at u.

If you've told her to smarten up, and she still hasn't, then let her worry about herself then. It sounds like she relies on you to drive her to the doctors for the MAP. What would happen if you decided not to drive her? Maybe this would spark some realization in her (that is if she cares about getting preggers). Well, she obviously does care whether she gets pregnant or not because she relies on the MAP everytime.
OR ask her if she's ever thought of regular birth control rather than the MAP. If she doesn't like the thought of taking a pill every morning, maybe she'd be suited for the depo shot instead. But if you've tried all you can, let her take responsibility for her own actions.

Believe it or not, no matter how much it appalls you, it's not your place to dictate what kind of methods of birth control your friend should and should not utulize, it is her body afterall. If you refuse to support it, then don't stand by her. If there is a serious risk of medical complications, her Doctor is obligated to let her know.

As far as I know you can't get a surplus of the morning after pill - but I don't understand why she would use it as a contraceptive
it may prevent babies - but it sure as hell doesn't prevent disease You don't come off as a jerk when you voice a concern like this to a friends tell her you are worried - not just about babies, but about her seemingly reckless behavior - behavior that could lead to death from disease and such there are other methods out there for baby control, and in a small town where a girl is coming in repeatedly for M.A I would think a doctor might suggest alternative methods Good for you for being concerned - she's lucky to have a friend that would take her, that she would feel comfratable asking to take her--- What you've done for her already shows you care, take it a step further and start talking. You don't have to get into why she does what she does - but how she can protect herself if she chooses to engage in this behavior You can't not say anything - that's not being a real friend, sometimes you gotta take a bit of a risk and tell them the truth in order to help in the long run my two cents.

the moring after pill is too hard on your system to take more than twice a year
it messes up your hormones and creates irregularities in mood, eating habits, weight (water retention) etc tell the silly girl to go herself - its not like the drs speech is going to be such a shock that she needs moral support - if shes old enough for sex shes old enough to go to the drs without somebody holding her hand - make her take the guy that doesnt wrap it! shes crying out for attention - go to planned parenthood, pills are 10 bucks a pack

i'd say sit down with this girl and have a talk with her. let her know how you feel about her behavior [constantly taking the MAP] and how it's not good for your body. then maybe give her some info on other alternatives she has. there's the bcp, the shot if she doesn't want a pill everyday, and soon enough the patch will be here. there are plenty of options for her.
if you talk to her, and voice your concern and she won't listen, i would step back. you can't make her do anything. some people need to make big mistakes before the message will actually go through their thick skull. [if you need any info, there is plenty on the net, along with the doctors. if they know you, i'm sure they'd be glad to give you some info and pamphlets and what have you..]

^ that's so true It can make you really sick as well, it definitely shouldn't be the contraception method of choice.

You are a nice guy for driving her to get the pills but she has to clue in.
Nothing is a bigger wake up call than a baby wailing 5am in the morning.

morning after pill works up to 72 hours after intercourse. but if it her not being able to remember to take the pill everyday, she can get the birth control patch. it is just as effective as the pill but it lastes a week and you change it ever 7th day.

some people don't want to, or believe in taking birth control pills or depro-provera shots. my co-worker's mom has had 4 unplanned pregnancies and 2 abortions because she refused to take birth control pills. she didn't believe in taking them and thought it was bad for your body.
I don't know your friend's intentions, but I agree with Myra. you can't argue with a person's beliefs about what to do with their own body. but personally, I'd tell her to go take some condoms from a free clinic. :P --Joanne :P

my family is really against birth controls because my aunt was on bcps since she was a teenager and when she got married, she found out she was unable to get pregnant..chances were just slim, due to her "putting her woman system to sleep for too long of time".. im not sure if it still happens, or if she was a special case..and unfortunatly it led to a sad ending to her marriage. but really when i did decide to go on the bcp it was for reasons other than anti babies.. and everything has been great.
do you know if the doc gave her a talk or anything? if she did speak teh truth to the doc, and the doc finds out she's been sleeping around un-protected, im sure the doc woulda given her a long speal and suggest options like the bcp to her.

^^well i am chinese and my aunt is from hk... so yea. i dont really get told much about my family, but my mom said it was because of her being on bcps since she was teenager. *shrugs* dont ask me..but thats what my ma told me. (i never get full info on anything in this family). but yea the divorce hurt the whole family a lot and it was because she couldn't get pregnant.
