Getting The Morning After Pill

I know you have to take the morning after pill within 72 hours after sex, but because it prevents the production of the egg or sperm fusion with the egg wouldn'tu are less likely to get pregnant if u the pill before having sex than taking it after?

Just use protection .. jeeez!

No, it does not stay in your system long enough.

1. It does not prevent sperm from fertilizing an egg. It will stop ovulation occurs and it is. If you have already started to ovulate when taking the pill will not stop and the pregnancy can still occur.

2. Technically, it might work if you took it at the right time, but Plan B is intended to be an emergency contraceptive. It must be used if another form of birth control fails. Taking it more than once a year and can seriously mess up your body. This is a super dose of hormones that you take. Just get on the pill, it is cheaper and safer.

Just use birth control or condoms ... sure.

Just use a condom. Plan B prevents the production of egg implantation or fertilization NOT. You are confusing the morning after pill with birth control a regular woman takes every day. Plan B will not work before intercourse. In addition to Plan B costs about $ 50 and a condom costs $ 1. And maintenance for 18 years costs $ 1000 +.

I agree with Christine. Plan B is for EMERGENCIES ... such as condom breakage or your dog eat your pill. Not Panky handkerchief expected. Plan B has a large amount of hormones in it so it's definitely not something you want to take if you do not. Remember how the old style pills birth control caused cancer in women because they had both hormone in it? Plan B even more than that. This is why you do not use for emergencies.

Nothing prevents the "production of the egg" women are born with all the eggs that they need, they do not produce more of their lives. Anyway, Plan B will not design is less likely when taken before unprotected sex. If you want to avoid pregnancy, you need to get the birth control long term.

@ Nikki, preventing sperm from fertilizing the egg is essentially the same as the prevention of ovulation. No ovulation = no fertilization.
