I haven't been taking my bc pills for about a month because I missed some days and got off schedule. Last night my husband and I had sex, but he was under the impression I was taking my pills. We were both a little tipsy. Anyway, would it make sense for me to take two birth control pills this morning to reduce my chances of getting pregnant? I've been told that the morning after pill is basically a high dose of birth control.

Taking the pill previous due can throw your body off and cut back the pill's efficacy. The sore/more beneficial breasts ought to easily be from the progesterone interior the pill. i'd be more beneficial hectic about you being so a concepts into the placebo pills and not using a era. It commonly starts interior a pair days for most women, even if that's diverse for anybody. so that you'll nicely be pregnant, you received't be. in case you're, you should have adequate hcg on your gadget through now to have an precise being pregnant attempt. i'd purchase a attempt now and take it first ingredient day after today morning, you'll understand the answer in a couple of minutes.

It depends on what kind of birth control pills you are taking and you'll need to take more than 2. Call a pharmacist and see if you have the right pills and how much you should take to get the same effect of Plan B. Plan B is not exactly a large dose of pills. It's a large does of progestin. Types of progestin differ from pill to pill. Most birth control brands will not work as Plan B.

If you are Canadian, you can get Plan B over the counter at a pharmacy.

Yes, the morning-after pill has some of the same hormones. If your body is about to release an egg, a high dosage of birth control pills will stop it.

i wouldn't think so, and being off the pill for a month you will have to use something else for a month even once you start back on it. Have you thought of the depo shot, good for 3 months and no pills to remember (or forget)
