Accidents happen — that's why we have emergency contraception
known as Plan B(the morning after pill). Did you have intercourse
without using protection? Did you forget to use your birth control
correctly? Did the condom break, leaving you worried about becoming
pregnant? If so, emergency contraception might be a good choice for you.
Here are some of the most common questions we hear women ask about emergency contraception. We hope the answers help you decide if it is right for you.
Plan B, aka the morning-after pill — a form of emergency birth control — is used to prevent a woman from becoming pregnant after she has had unprotected sex. Morning-after pills are generally considered safe, but many women are unaware that they exist.
Here's how Plan B, or morning after pill, works. Human conception rarely occurs immediately after intercourse. Instead, it occurs as long as several days later, after ovulation. During the time between intercourse and conception, sperm continue to travel through the fallopian tube until the egg appears. So taking emergency birth control the "morning after" isn't too late to prevent pregnancy.
The active ingredients in morning-after pills are similar to those in birth control pills, except in higher doses. Some morning-after pills contain only one hormone, levonorgestrel (Plan B), and others contain two, progestin and estrogen. Progestin prevents the sperm from reaching the egg and keeps a fertilized egg from attaching to the wall of the uterus (implantation). Estrogen stops the ovaries from releasing eggs (ovulation) that can be fertilized by sperm.
Take Plan B emergency contraception as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse. The sooner you start it, the better it will work. But it will reduce your risk of pregnancy if you start it up to 120 hours — five days — after unprotected intercourse.
Plan B morning after pill can be taken in one dose or two doses. If you take it in two doses, take the second pill 12 hours after the first pill. Or simply take them both at the same time. It's your choice.
When you take birth control pills as emergency contraception, you must take the pills in two doses, 12 hours apart. The number of pills in each dose depends on the brand of the pill. You must use the same brand of pill for each dose.
If you become nauseous and throw up after taking the first dose of the pills, be sure to use anti-nausea medication an hour before taking the second dose. Or, instead of taking it by mouth, you can insert the second dose as high into your vagina as you can reach. The medicine will be absorbed through the walls of your vagina, and will not make you feel sick to your stomach.
If you throw up after the second dose, you should not take any extra pills. The pills will most likely make you sicker, and probably won't reduce your chance of getting pregnant.
After you take emergency contraception, it's normal for your next period to be different from usual.
* It may be earlier or later than usual.
* It may be heavier, lighter, more spotty, or the same as usual.
Be sure to tell any health care provider that you may see before your next period that you have taken the morning after pill. If you do not have your period within three weeks after taking Plan B or other morning after pills, or if you have any symptoms of pregnancy schedule an appointment with your health care provider.
