Hey Halo, I found this info at this site: www.contraception.net You should check out this site and look at what other contraceptive methods will work for you in the future so you don't end up in the same scary situation. The following is info on Emergency Contraceptin.

Emergency Contraception

What do you do if you've had unprotected sex or the birth control method you were using failed? Don't panic. Your next step may be the emergency contraceptive pill (ECP) one of the best-kept health secrets of modern contraception. ECP is available from your doctor, hospital or birth control clinic by prescription. ECP can be useful for preventing pregnancy in many situations including:

a condom slips or breaks
a diaphragm becomes dislodged or moves out of position
you forget your usual method of contraception and have unprotected sex
you missed taking your oral contraceptive pills
you are forced into having sex
you miscalculate your most "fertile" days and have sex without birth control

How does emergency contraception work?

There are basically two types of emergency contraception available:

The Emergency Contraceptive Pill (ECP) method - The ECP method or "morning after pill" uses a high dose of combined oral contraceptives (OCs) to prevent conception. The OC method is effective if used within 72 hours after unprotected intercourse.
The Intrauterine Device (IUD) method - This method involves the insertion of an IUD into the uterus by your doctor. The IUD creates an unfriendly environment for egg and sperm. The IUD must be inserted within 7 days of unprotected sex.

Birth Control Options  

     The safest and surefire way to avoid pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) is to practice abstinence (not having sexual intercourse). However, if you've decided to enter into a sexual relationship, this article is intended to explain briefly the different types of birth control available.
Non-Prescription Methods
There are different kinds of birth control and some are available over the counter. Condoms are available over the counter and work very well at preventing pregnancy if they are used 100 percent of the time. This means putting them on before there is any contact between the penis and vagina and holding onto the condom when the male withdraws, so no sperm can leak out. The advantage of condoms is they are also pretty effective against most STDs. You don't need parental permission to buy condoms and you don't have to be any specific age. They are available at most drugstores and supermarkets. For even better protection, in addition to the condom also use a spermicidal cream or gel according to package directions. These too are sold without prescription and are usually stocked right next to the condoms.

Prescription Methods
The other methods of birth control do require a prescription. These include oral contraceptives (birth control pills), injectable birth control (the birth control shot Depoprovera
