plan b and birth control pills?

Question

is taking 2 birth control pills the same as plan b? or whats the deal?

Answer 1

No, taking 2 BC pills is not the same as taking Plan B. Plan B is a similar hormone to regular BC pills, but at a MUCH higher dose. I would say that it is equevlant to about 5 BC pills and then 5 more 12 hours later. I would definately see a Dr. or go to a clinic, rather than trying to make the dose up with regular BC pills. Especially, if you really want it to work, it's not something I would play with.

Answer 2

Plan B is the morning after pill. It's emergency birth control if you've had unprotected sex, and should be taken no more than 72 hours after sex.
