Avatar f tn Hi guys sorry I am new here, So my wife is a virgin and we had non penetrative sex and some sperm was left on her vagina and we got worried that she could get pregnant then she took emergency contraceptive (levonorgestrel) 48 hours after. Then after 2 days we did non penetrative sex again and we got worried about pregnancy and she took emergency contraception again. This is emergency contraceptive twice in a week.
Avatar n tn Also, what causes these illness when in fact we naturally produce oestrogen and progesteron and also need them. I understand that contraceptive pill contains synthetic version of hormones but it is mind boggling.
Avatar n tn I was recommended microgynon 30 which contains ethinylestradiol 30 mcg / levonorgestrel 150 mcg. I took the pill on the first day of my period at 10pm That evening I lost the pill pack and as microgynon 30 wasn't available at the GP's office, I was instead put on Gedarel 30/150 which contains ethinylestradiol 30 mcg / desogestrel 150 mcg.
Avatar f tn Plan-B is a very effective contraceptive pill which is used as a back-up or an emergency pill if you are not benefitted by the regular birth control method. This is also effective if you are in doubt whether you have used your regular contraceptives correctly or not. Plan-B or Levonorgestrel is a very widely used oral birth control medication and it comes under the classification of progestine. you can buy from chemist shop or online at Drugsdropship24.
Avatar f tn One pill could work but two would be better. Maybe she was not on her fertile days anyway - cycle days 8 through 16 of 28. She can find out more about that by downloading a period tracking app. If her next period shows up missing, that would be a good time to run a home pregnancy test. Best of luck!
Avatar f tn 15g of levonorgestrel, which is used in the morning after pill/emergency contraceptive pill at a higher dosage.
Avatar n tn please guide me on this. what dosage of this birth control pill should i consume so that it acts as a morning after pill (emergency contraceptive).
Avatar f tn It is a emergency contraceptive pill which is consumed after unprotected intercourse within 72 hours. Plan B contains Levonorgestrel and Progestin hormones which obstructs the process of ovulation. It also blocks the sperms from entering the uterus hence preventing the pregnancy. The pills which you are talking about are abortion pills whose process is similar to miscarriages.
Avatar n tn Since this original post we have visited a doctor and my wife has taken the ECP levonorgestrel. She took the first pill ~32hrs after the event and a second pill about 12hrs later as per doctor's instruction. We were unable to visit a doctor prior to this late hour due to the holiday season (Chinese New Year) over here resulting in clinics being closed. Unfortunately ECPs are not available as an over the counter drug at pharmacies.

Avatar n tn I had unprotected sex with my GF one week before her period. she took one "plan B" pill (that contains 50 microg of ethinyl estradiol and .5 mg of Levonorgestrel) roughly 24 hours after the intercourse and another 24 hours later 12 hours third one and fourth one 24 hours after that.
Avatar f tn The next day I went to a chemist and got the emergency contraceptive (morning after pill); a 1.5mg levonorgestrel which I took around 15 hours after having sex. My period was due yesterday (Thursday) and the pharmacist said because I was long past ovulation it was unlikely to be pregnant but to take it anyway to be sure. It's Friday now and I haven't gotten my period but I'm also on antibiotics and painkillers for tonsillitis so could this affect my period?
Avatar f tn I'm 16 and me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex last tuesday night (Aug 30). He pulled out before his release and was sure that none got in my vagina (withdrawal method). I wasn't quite convinced and started taking "Lady" emergency contraceptive pill. It contains levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiole. It's my first time so I wanna ask if it's okay even if I start taking it even when I'm not on my period yet?
Avatar m tn An hour later, I took the 72-hour emergency contraceptive levonorgestrel, two tablets of 0.75 mg. Is my girlfriend more likely to get pregnant? Sorry, my English is not very good.
Avatar m tn t you start taking s contraceptive pill or get a little rod implanted in you arm that protects you for three years even if you don't plan on having sex it will give you that extra peace of mind x

" even if you took it within the 12 hours nothings 100% if you get pregnant you get pregnant than go from there. dont work yourself up over it until you figure it out if you actually are pregnant take a pregnancy test!
874116 tn?1240368959 If you want a break from the pill in the future, use contraceptive foam and condoms. Never use EC. Its not 100% effective--more like 60-70%, depending on when and how you take it. If you keep taking it as you were doing, you're bound to end up pregnant at some point. ---------------------------------- You should consult a doctor to see if there could be any effects on a baby, but I don't think so. You took the EC, but became pregnant anyway.
Avatar m tn she took an I-pill which is an emergency contraceptive pill containing 1.5mg of Levonorgestrel. her last period was on the 11th of october and the one before that was on the 9th of september. but she experienced some midcycle breakthrough bleeding this month on the 30th. she is also experiencing sore breasts. what does this mean in the context of pregnancy and its chances and also in the context of side effects on her body. is everything ok?
Avatar m tn 12 hours after the encounter, i took a levonorgestrel 1.5mg single dose. 10 days after taking the pill (which is today), i've not been feeling anything but tired. no spotting no sensation of vomiting. what are the chances that i could be pregnant? i'm so anxious !!
Avatar f tn I took an emergency contraceptive pill last Friday and I wasn't suppose to get my period until the 5th or 6th of November. But I had sexual intercourse yesterday and my partner noticed some blood but we didn't mind it that much. This morning I woke up and I was bleeding. I'm not exactly sure but I think I got my period. The whole point is, can it be possible for the contraceptive pill to cause a woman's period to come a week or two sooner?
Avatar f tn Plan B is an effective and safe contraceptive medicine which is used as an emergency pill after an unprotected intercourse. The component involves artificial hormone Levonorgestrel and Progestin. Plan B is recommended for immediate usage (24 to 72 hours) for providing complete protection from an unwanted pregnancy. Appropriate use of Plan B helps in avoiding pregnancy and also causes Zero future pregnancy and birth defects.
Avatar m tn Yesterday night (11h ago), the condom that me and my boyfriend were using malfunctioned and he ejaculated inside of me. We went to the farmacy and bought Norlevo morning after pill (1.5mg levonorgestrel). I took it right away (~2h after the intercourse). Today I was googling about the subject and found out that there is another type of pill that has an higher success rate (EllaONe - 30mg ulipristal acetate). Can I still take this one? Will it reduce my chances of getting pregnant? Thank you!
