A member asked:

What happens if you take an emergency contraception pills (everytime you have sex afterwards)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Expensive/Side effec: Plan b is not to be used as routine contraceptive. Please see your doctor to discuss which contraceptive would work best for you. Side effects from high doses of hormones ( headaches, heavy menses, fatigue) .Also remember to practice safe sex. Use condoms, as Plan B and other contraceptives do not protect against aids and other sexually transmitted diseases. Stay safe and take care.
