Answer 1

You can use three types of pills, microgynon, nordet and lofemenol, this pills have a very high level of hormones, they are vry strong pills, in my case I have used Nordet, as they say microgynon causes you spider vains.

You have to take four pills the mornning after you have even 72 hours to take the pills, but the soonr the better, once you take them, you count 12 hours and you take four pills again, that is supposed yo keep you from pregnancy, it has worked for me as I haven´t been pregnant.

You can take cytotek too, but you have to take just one pill after and you have 72 hours to take it too, but it is more expensive so i would recommend you to take nordet or one of the other pills I mentioned before.

Good luck!! :)

Researchers have identified several ways that emergency contraceptive pills (also called "morning after pills" or "day after pills") likely prevent pregnancy. How they might work in your case depends on where you are in your monthly menstrual cycle when you use them. But no matter when you take emergency contraception, it will not cause an abortion. For more about how Plan B works, read this article in Journal of the American Medical Association.


Studies show that both types of emergency contraceptive pills can prevent or delay ovulation (the time in your cycle when your ovaries release an egg). If you take emergency contraceptive pills before fertilization (the point when the egg and sperm meet), they may interfere with the process of fertilizing the egg, for instance making it harder for the egg or the sperm to travel (and meet up) in your reproductive tract. It’s also possible that emergency contraceptive pills work after fertilization, making it impossible for the fertilized egg to implant in your uterus; researchers will probably never be able to prove for certain whether or not emergency contraceptive pills have an effect after fertilization.

Any woman age 18 or over can get them at her local pharmacy. Under 18 you can go to a Planned Parenthood clinic.

The morning-after pill — a form of emergency birth control — is used to prevent a woman from becoming pregnant after she has had unprotected vaginal intercourse. Morning-after pills are generally considered safe, but many women are unaware that they exist. Here's how the morning-after pill works.

Human conception rarely occurs immediately after intercourse. Instead, it occurs as long as several days later, after ovulation. During the time between intercourse and conception, sperm continue to travel through the fallopian tube until the egg appears. So taking emergency birth control the "morning after" isn't too late to prevent pregnancy.

The active ingredients in morning-after pills are similar to those in birth control pills, except in higher doses. Some morning-after pills contain only one hormone, progestin (Plan B), and others contain two, progestin and estrogen. Progestin prevents the sperm from reaching the egg and keeps a fertilized egg from attaching to the wall of the uterus (implantation). Estrogen stops the ovaries from releasing eggs (ovulation) that can be fertilized by sperm.

The morning-after pill is designed to be taken within 72 hours of intercourse with a second dose taken 12 hours later. Side effects may include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fatigue and headache. According to the Food and Drug Administration, the morning-after pill is 80 percent effective in preventing pregnancy after a single act of unprotected sex.

Morning-after pills aren't the same thing as the so-called abortion pill, or mifepristone (Mifeprex). Emergency contraceptive pills prevent pregnancy. The abortion pill terminates an established pregnancy — one that has attached to the uterine wall and has already begun to develop.

Plan B is available to women 18 years and older without a prescription at most pharmacies. Women must show proof of age to purchase Plan B. For women 17 years old and younger, Plan B is available with a doctor's prescription.
