A member asked:
Can loestrin fe 1/20 be used as an emergency contraceptive in replace of plan b?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Easier ways: Sure but Plan B is available over the counter. It is more effective and causes less nausea since it does not contain estrogen. The easiest thing to do is to buy this over the counter and take it within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse.
