Hi everyone, hope you all are doing well. First off, please excuse me for being a little overly nervous right now. I might be overreacting but my gf says she never EVER misses her period and now she is 7 days late after we “did the thing” while she suspected that she was ovulating (she wasn’t sure because she had already taken a plan b earlier in that cycle).

Sorry if that was TMI but I am (well, we both are) really freaking out and have been looking at a bunch of possible ways that we could acquire a pill of some sort from a reputable, legit, and safe organization or place. We live in southeast TX where abortion is not allowed, and discussed driving to New Mexico to go to the planned parenthood clinic there. I have a reliable vehicle and could drive us but it is 14 hours away which wouldn’t be easy, and with our college starting next week it would really make things difficult to squeeze in a trip like that.

However, my first question is: how would an appointment at planned parenthood go exactly? I would make an appointment on a Friday, most likely. Could we be in and out in one day and be given the pill there? Or is it like a series of visits and a bunch of different paperwork and steps? We could probably only be there for one day (Friday and Saturday but they’re closed on Saturday) since we need to get back home soon. Would us being TX residents make the process more stretched out and difficult? Anything else to expect? I know it’s on the website but if anyone has anything at all I would really appreciate it.

My second question was: is Aid Access a legit company? I was doing some research on mailed pills and that name came up quite a bit, inclined on subreddits on here. The responses were so overwhelmingly positive that I actually suspected that maybe the people commenting might have been bots trying to advertise it 😅 I guess it just sounded too good to be true. Could anyone walk me through how that process would play out, what info or docs they require from us, basically just how the steps go and the length of time it takes from initially messaging them to eventually getting the pill?

Any other advice or places that I should look into would be EXTREMELY well appreciated. This is like the most nervous I have ever been in my life. I can’t speak for my gf’s parents, but I know my parents would not be supportive at all of this if they found out and I’d probably be estranged from everyone in my near/extended family and cut off from college financial support from them, among other things. Sorry just rambling now. Any advice at all would be super helpful. Thank you all so much for reading all of this and for your consideration.

TLDR Q2: what is the process for going to a planned parenthood (when you are an out of state resident - TX to NM) and could I receive the pill on my first day there and be in and out?

TLDR Q1: Any insight at all on the process of aid access and if it is legit, what the process entails from start to finish and things to be aware of or look out for.
