Women now have the option of being safe and not having unplanned pregnancies. I mean all you need to do is get on a contraceptive that works for you and you’re pretty much safe but it’s never completely. These facts will help you know a few things so that when you’re taking the Postinor 2 and such pills you know what you’re doing.
1. You should never wait for 72-hours to take the pill
I know it says that you could take it after three days but the sooner the better. Remember that this doesn’t mean that it will work 100% so you should take it as soon as you realize that you messed things up.
2. There can be side effects
You can have side effects such as irregular periods, no periods at all, vomiting, nausea and other hormonal imbalances that will mess your cycle up.
3. It is not a regular form of contraceptive
Yes, if you keep having unprotected sex please get a regular form of contraceptive that is going to work for you. Talk to your doctor to prescribe something that will work for your body because an emergency pill is not something to take all the time.
4. If you throw up after taking the pill you need to take another one
This is obvious but just keep in mind that if you throw up you need to replace it as soon as possible by taking another one.
5. It can fail
Yes, I had a friend who didn’t take the second pill from Postinor 2 and she ended up getting pregnant. This is never 100 % so you can still get pregnant especially if you don’t take it as soon as possible.
All in all please remember that the best method is to actually use condoms. It can never protect you from STDs so you should first take care of yourself and if you need to use the morning after pill only use it once in a blue moon.
