Is it possible to use birth control as a morning after pill?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It depends: It depends. Certain birth control pills containing the correct hormones can be used in place of Plan B (the morning after pill). The difference in using regular birth control is the number of tablets you have to take, which varies depending on which birth control pill you have.
