A member asked:

What is the dose of norethindrone (the progestin found in sharobel) effective as emergency contraception? i can't see prices on my phone, pls quote $

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Progestins for b.c.: Any kind of low dose oral contraceptive will work as "emergency contraception", but this method is not certain to prevent pregnancy. If your period is late, obtain a serum HCG to make certain you are not pregnant.

A member asked:

Hello. I have been taking Qlaira birth control, but have found I do better if I skip the estradiol pills (it's a 4-phasic pill). Can I do this and thus only take the progestin containing pills and still be protected from pregnancy? Thanks?
