Question 3

Morning after pill: Not really.  The bcp controls your hormones, estrogen, and progestone.  The morning after pill cause your body to have your uterus to prevent implantation.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Plan B: The morning after pill may cause irregular spotting and bleeding but it may also have an impact on your next period. Although most women still have their period on time, you may have it several days later or earlier than usual.

Question 8

i have been on antibiotics for five days (clamentin 1000) and would like to know if that interferes with birth control pills. if i had sex do i need to take the morning after pill as well?

Question 9

hi dr. i had my first intercourse last january 1 at 2am with my boyfriend. i am worried if there is a chance of pregnancy? i also bought 1 box of birth control pills wondering if i should take it since there is no morning after pill in ph.

Accepted Answer

That's not good.: Pre-planning is important. A fertile young adult couple can get pregnant too easily. Planning cannot wait until after they have sex. Planning must be done before sex. The ability to prevent pregnancy after sex depends on how many days have passed, and what IUD's or pills are available.
