A member asked:
How soon after emergency contraception can you continue a birth control pack?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Around 2-3 days..: The emergency-pill is 2-3x the amount of medication packed in it, so i would say that you should be able to take your regular pill 2-3 days after. I don't believe there is any data available addressing this specific question, but the pharmacology of the plan-b pack suggests 2-3 days should be ok. If any trouble, consult your doc. Good luck.
