A member asked:

How often do you need to take vitamin c to prevent pregnancy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Michael Dugan answered

Specializes in Hematology

Quite often: Take the vitamin c tablet and place it between your knees. Then hold it there and you should not get pregnant. I am not aware that vitamin c is helpful in any other way for pregnancy prevention.
