I’m 18 and was with him for two years. We broke up over FaceTime in January.
But last month it was his 18th birthday.

We ended up getting really drunk and sleeping together that night.

Neither of us had a condom but I did have the morning-after pill in my bag so I took that just before we got intimate.
Does it still work if you take it before?
