A member asked:

Is it true that you can take an increased dosage of birth control and it's just as good as plan b? how many would i need to take?

Yuzpe regimen: You can take certain birth control pills in certain doses as emergency contraception. This site is not a source of specific medical advice or dosing of medications. This should be discussed with your ob/gyn. For more information, you can google the 'yuzpe regimen' on your own. Good luck!

Only some oral: contraceptives can be used for this purpose. Check reference chart to see which oral contraceptives can be used for emergency contraception and at what doses. http://ec.princeton.edu/questions/dose.html#dose
