A member asked:
I was told that some birth control are really the same as plan b pills where they end a pregnacy and not prevent.a period really equals a miscarriage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Plan B is not: an abortion pill. Emergency Contraceptive Pills are not as effective as using oral contraceptives correctly every day. Often a period is a period and not a miscarriage. Some oral contraceptives can be used in higher doses as emergency contraceptives.
