Hey babe, I don't know if you've taken the Plan B yet, but no one seems to be answering you about whether or not it makes you sick.
I've only taken it once, but it just made me queasy. My stomach was rolling around, but it was not painful and didn't make me vomit.
As for getting on a regular birth control: Try a low-estrogen daily pill like Zovia or Alesse. I've been on both ($5-$10 a month) and neither made me sick EVER. You just gotta remember to take them every single day, cause if you don't your period will start! I hate when I miss a pill and my period starts in the middle of the month so I have to cancel all my appointments
Good luck, hope it helps!

Anyway, to update-- I got the plan B within 2.5 hours. I got the generic version which the pharmacist told me was just as good as the name brand, the only difference is that it's split into two dosages taken 12 hours apart. This helps keep the nausea down so the lady in question doesn't get knocked on her tail from such a massive dose of hormones. I didn't have any symptoms except maybe a very slight stomachache in the morning when I took the second dose.
I'm still bothered by the whole damn thing, but it's life, I had to go get an STD checkup anyway, and I've certainly had accidents in my personal life-- never a busted condom though. I'm happy to take several lessons from this about condom-useage. I now have regular magnums and extra-large. And I'll know better about massage oil versus KY.
And, no doubt, I'll be checking and rechecking for air bubbles and breaks.
I wanted to say though that I never expected this outpouring of support. I know it's not really a "big deal" in the grand scope of things, but it feels like a very big deal to me. I've gotten several emails from hobbyists and providers alike, and while I know I said this in an email, I'm not sure if I said it in this thread:
To the eccie community who offered their support, I never thought that this thread would grow so big, or be filled with so much sympathy, helpful anecdotes from your personal experiences, and just general goodwill. I really wasn't expecting that, and I appreciate the consideration ya'll have shown. I really needed it, and I know I was cringing that I would be painted with some sort of smut brush.
So, thanks
