*please do not judge me, I am only looking for straight forward answers, no guessing plz. thank you

Answer 1

The best person to answer this for you is your doctor, of course. However, using the morning after pill several time a month is not a very good idea for a list of reasons.

You can die from taking any medication, but this is a dose of progesterone and has an excellent safety record when used as directed..

This isn't about judment but about your peace of mind and health. If you are repeatedly breaking condoms, you both may need some education on proper use and even need to change brands. One size does not fit all and not all condoms are the highest quality. You need to be sure they are put on correctly, either expelling the air from a reservoir tip or leaving a little at the end in a plain tip to give the ejaculate some room.

A condom that is too or too small can break or come off, so that needs to be considered as well. Not enough lubrications decreases your pleasure and the risk of a failure.

You really need to consider another method of birth control if you cannot make condoms work well for you. Taking a low dose birth control pill would likely be safer than taking large doses of hormones erratically and frequently, if birth control is your only issue. If you also need STD protection, consider using a female condom which is much less likely to tear.

If you have a Planned Parenthood near you, go there for information. educations and low-cost supplies.

If you are going to rely on emergency contraception, please consider buying a dose and keeping it on hand. The closer to the "accident" it is taken, the more effective it is. If possible, a dose should available to take within one hour.

And because someone ignorant is almost certain to rant at you. the morning after pill does not cause an abortion, it prevents a pregnancy. Anyone who spews lies at you really does not have your best interests in mind, so ignore them.

Answer 2

If you read the box, it states on there that once you take the pill it stops your body from ovulating all together for that time period, So you shouldnt have to be taken that pill so often like that in the same month BUT to be on the safe I would also..You should definately ask a professional for long term side effects. And maybe if your open to it ask your doctor about birthcontrol, you ll save yourself money in the long run.

Answer 3

Even one time taking a morning-after pill is really not good for you, because of very high concentration of hormones. Your cycle will probably go out of balance for a while (I mean, just from one time). Three times in one month is extremely bad - even dangerous! My advice is NOT to hide this fact from your doctor who prescribed it to you. You MUST tell the doctor and a pharmacist that it is going to be your third time this month. Will you have children if you take it three times? Hopefully you will, but it is really, really bad for your hormonal balance, which may affect your chances to conceive in the future.
I am not judging, but maybe you should start birth control pills, so that you are confident about your contraception?
Good luck.

Answer 4

I dont think it would be bad for you as it is just a high level of one hormone. but when you get it I woudl suggest asking the doctor if you are concerned.

Not judging I have had MANY condoms break on me when I was in between pills- we used the ultra thin ones. so dont reccomend them haha, maybe look into Lube or a thicker durex condom!?But I do know how grotty you feel !!! - another example of guys have the sweet end of the deal!

Answer 5

Studies show taking Plan B regularly does not have any long term bad side effects.
