Tracey,

yeah, I know how you're feeling. Did the same thing in February. :-)

As for emergency contraception, you can only use certain BCP brands. The following website has a list: http://ec.princeton.edu/info/combecp.html

Also, consider calling your doctor/health center/Planned Parenthood clinic to get Plan B, a progestin-only pill specifically for emergncy contraception. I used it successfully and without any side effects - BCPs that contain estrogen have a higher rate of dizziness, throwing up etc.

Whatever you end up taking, don't forget the second dose!!!
