A member asked:
Can lo loestrin fe be used as an emergency contraceptive? i was just prescribed it a week ago for period regulation and i haven't started taking it.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Taking a single pill of any birth control will not suffice as emergency contraception, especially one that is low dose like LoEstrin
