Worried About Unwanted Pregnancy? Emergency Contraceptives For Your Unprotected Sex!
Posted on Oct 04, 2007 | Comments 235
With the advancement in the medical sciences, today you can overcome the problem of unwanted pregnancy.
One such advancement is birth control methods.
Sometimes, there come situations where you may have unprotected sex or contraceptive failure, but do not want pregnancy to follow.
The solution for this kind of situations is Emergency Contraceptive, which is also popularly known as Plan B. But, it is not designed to be used on a regular basis or even frequently.
Emergency contraceptive is made up of estrogen and progesterone or progesterone only, which helps regulate ovulation and fertility in the way similar to other natural hormones work.
Emergency contraceptives can also be used as a supportive approach to birth control in situations such as: when other birth control measures failed, if two or more dosage of regular birth control pills are skipped, or in the absence of any effective birth control method.
However, for an effective result, the first tablet should be taken immediately within 72 hours of your sexual intercourse, the sooner it is taken the better chances are there for its efficacy.
The second tablet must be taken twelve hours later. Your doctor will suggest the order of tablet usage while prescribing the oral contraceptive.
Each emergency contraceptive pack contains two tablets, which are measured as a single course of treatment; each tablet contains levonorgestrel (0.75 mg). The first tablet of Plan B should be taken orally as soon as possible within three days of your unprotected intercourse.
The second tablet must be taken after12 hours of your first tablet. Remember, it is not an alternate for birth control routine methods. Also, it cannot protect you from sexually transmitted infections such as HIV/ AIDS, chlamydia, gonorrhea and so on.
What is the effect of the emergency contraceptive if it is taken before intercourse?
Actually the emergency contraceptive or morning after pill is a bit of a limiting term and not entirely accurate, because the pill is as effective taken shortly before intercourse as after it. When taken after intercourse the pill can be taken up to 72 hours after intercourse. The WHO says they can be used for up to 5 days after contraceptive failure.
You can easily get these emergency contraceptives from your doctor or from a medical store if you are 18 years and above. However, a prescription is must if you are 17 years and younger.
It is estimated that emergency contraceptive can reduce the risk of pregnancy by 89 percent, when used correctly after a single course of unprotected sexual activity.
However, the effectiveness reduces as the interval between intercourse and the start of treatment increases.
The decline in efficacy from a delay in treatment is the reason behind it. A broad range of health professionals believes that barriers to more timely access to emergency contraceptive should be removed, including making the product broadly available without prescription.
Emergency contraceptive is very safe when used as directed. You may not experience serious complications with the usage of Plan B.
The common side effects (minor) include nausea, abdominal pain, fatigue, dizziness, diarrhea, headache, vomiting, breast tenderness and changes in menstrual period.
Most of the symptoms of the emergency contraceptives are temporary, and usually clear up within 24 hours or a couple of days at most.
It is highly recommended to avoid using Plan B when you are pregnant, have undiagnosed vaginal bleeding, or have an allergy to the product usage. Remember, it cannot end up an established pregnancy.

hi my name is siman my girlfriend i had sex and now it have been five weeks and she had her pregnancy test and its positive the thing is she don’t want to go to a doctor for her abortion is there any medicine to get it safely aborted help please..
Hi Siman,
As your girl friend is only 5 weeks pregnant, medicines can be used for the abortion. If she takes the medicines without the guidance of doctor, it can be risky. Some fetal parts may be left inside after using abortion pill and it can result in infection and bleeding. So, better consult the doctor.
Hi Katrina,
Actually the emergency contraceptive or morning after pill is a bit of a limiting term and not entirely accurate, because the pill is as effective taken shortly before intercourse as after it. When taken after intercourse the pill can be taken up to 72 hours after intercourse.
Hi Raj Singh,
Taking one wanted pills every time after sex is not safe and not at all recommended. Check this link:
http://www.womenhealthzone.com. And we cannot say that 14 day to 23rd day are safe as sometimes ovulation dates can change. If you are having unprotected sex, you can take the emergency contraceptive within 72 hours after intercourse.
Hi Vikram,
Emergency contraceptive can reduce the risk of pregnancy by 89 percent. She can check whether she is pregnant or not at home with a pregnancy kit.
