I am in my early 20s and recently had to stop taking the contraceptive pill because of a medical reason. Now that I am medically ok again, I planned to re-start the pill at some point this week. However, me and my BF of 2 yrs got drunk last night at a party and stupidly had unprotected sex. I am too embarrassed to go to a doctor and ask for a Plan B pill I have heard that if I take two contraceptive pills now (or asap) then it acts in the same way a morning after pill does...is this true?
I've been prescribed antibiotics [penicillin vk] for taking out my wisdom teeth and I found out that it interferes with the effectiveness of the birth control I use [Lutera], do you happen to know what I should do? If I should take emergency contraceptive or just continue with Lutera and not worry too much?
I don't know any name of the birth control pills. Can you please tell me what they are called, because I am willing to buy them at the pharmacy. Help me cause I really don't know what to call them when I arrived there.
I had sex for the first time with a condom but when changing positions it slipped off and was hanging from my hole. I pulled it off and immediately washed it with water & soap. I don't think any semen got in me but I didn't know for sure. My doctor had me take like an overdose in birth control pills that she said would be used as an EC. She said I had 21 days to get my period but it's been about a week and no period yet. I am getting really scared. Also I took the EC between the 3-4 day. When am I going to get my period? It's been a week since I had sex, can I take a pregnancy test and it be accurate?
The morning after pill is now legal in the U.S. for over-the counter use, without a prescription, for those over 18. But what does that mean to you?
A website devoted to giving information about emergecy contraception and where to obtain it in a fast, effective manner. Hosted by Princeton University, there is also news, resources and other links available.
It's amazing that with something as safe, simple, affordable and revolutionary as emergency contraception that it STILL isn't being used by millions of women who could use it, and who would prefer to avoid an abortion or an unwanted pregnancy. In part, that's because so many doctors and clinics still do not inform and educate women about EC. Here's some EC clarity, on the house. Pass it on!
