A member asked:

Instead of emergency contraception can i use double birth control?

It depends: Depending on the type of pill (the dose of estrogen and Progesterone it contains), it might require only 2 pills or as many as 6, used 12 hours apart, for 2 total doses, many women have severe nausea or vomiting with such large doses of birth control pills, and they are not as effective as emergency contraceptives such as Plan B one step.

Sort of: There are a number of options for emergency birth control including dedicated meds that are available over the counter, dedicated prescription medicine, and use of high dose regular birth control. For information of how to use regular bc as emergency bc, see http://www.Not-2-late.Com . If you need ec, you should consider using regular bc such as iuds and implants. The most effective and easy!
