All About Morning After Pills
Let's get into the nitty gritty details.
How does the EC (emergency contraceptive) pills work?
The Emergency contraceptive (EC) pill is one tablet with levonorgestrel (1.5mg), a hormone that has been used in many birth control pills for several decades. The EC pill contains a higher dose of levonorgestrel than daily birth control pills with this ingredient and works in a similar way to prevent pregnancy. It works mainly by stopping the release of an egg from the ovary. It is possible that the EC pill may also work by preventing fertilization of an egg (the uniting of sperm with the egg) or by preventing attachment (implantation) to the uterus (womb).
- These Pills® will not harm a current pregnancy or prevent a pregnancy in someone who is already pregnant.
Plan B VS Option 2 VS My Way
Plan B, Option 2 and My Way contains the same ingredient. Levonorgestrel is the No.1 OB/GYN recommended emergency contraception in the US. The Only Difference is the Branding, Popularity and Online Story Reviews.
- We recommend Plan B for Brand Driven customers, as it's Made in the US. And Option 2 or My Way for price driven customers.
What are the possible side effects of EC?
When used as directed, Plan B is safe and effective.
Some women may experience side effects, including:
- a period that’s lighter, heavier, early, or late
- nausea
- lower abdominal cramps
- tiredness
- headache
- dizziness
- breast tenderness
- vomiting
Some women taking Plan B may have changes in their period, such as spotting or bleeding before their next period. If your period is more than a week late, it’s possible you might be pregnant. Get a pregnancy test and follow up with your healthcare professional.
How effective is Plan B?
Plan B can significantly decrease the chance that you get pregnant. When used as directed, about 7 out of every 8 women who could have gotten pregnant did not become pregnant after taking Plan B. My Way & Option 2 works in the same way
What’s the difference between Plan B and primary birth control?
Birth control (or contraception) is any method, medicine, or device used to prevent a pregnancy before it starts. There are many different types of birth control. Some work better than others at preventing pregnancy and no method is 100% effective. But your chances of getting pregnant are lower if you use a more effective method.
Primary methods of birth control are meant to be used before sex to prevent a pregnancy. These methods can range from things like condoms (which can be found right at the store without a prescription) to birth control pills or IUDs (which need to be prescribed by your doctor).
Emergency contraception (like Plan B) is a form of birth control that is meant to be used if your primary method failed (like a condom broke or you missed pills) or you forgot to use primary birth control. Plan B is used to help prevent pregnancy after sex and must be taken within 72-hours after unprotected sex or if your primary birth control failed. The sooner you take it, the better it will work. It is not meant to be used as a regular form of birth control because it is not as effective.
If you find that you are using Plan B frequently, talk to your doctor about finding a primary birth control method (a “plan A” method) that is right for you.
How does Plan B work?
Plan B helps prevent pregnancy by temporarily delaying ovulation. That is, it works by stopping the release of an egg from the ovary, so there’s no egg to meet the sperm. No egg, no fertilization, no pregnancy.
Will Plan B affect my fertility or ability to get pregnant in the future?
Plan B will not impact your ability to get pregnant in the future.
Can I continue to take my regular birth control after taking Plan B?
Yes! Plan B does not impact the effectiveness of any regular birth control methods, so you can continue your regular birth control right away—or start one, if you don’t have a regular method.
How soon after unprotected sex should I take Plan B?
You should take Plan B up to 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected sex. The sooner it’s taken after unprotected sex, the better it works.
How do I take the Plan B pill / Can I take Plan B with food and/or water?
Plan B One‑Step is one pill that you place in your mouth and swallow, preferably with water. You can take Plan B with or without food. The most important thing to know about taking Plan B is that it must be taken within 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected sex to help prevent pregnancy before it starts. The sooner you take it, the better it works.
When is it not appropriate to use Plan B?
Do not take Plan B:
- If you’re already pregnant, because it won’t work
- If you’re allergic to levonorgestrel or any of the ingredients in Plan B
- In place of regular birth control
- If you’re male
This product is not intended for use in postmenopausal women.
