The morning-after pill is a type of emergency birth control (contraception). The purpose of emergency contraception is to prevent pregnancy after a woman has had unprotected sex or after her birth control method has failed. (http://www.mayoclinic.org)
My husband and I had unprotected sex so what I did was look for an emergency contraceptive. In the philippines, the most common morning-after-pill is NORDETTE, but since it is out of stock in Mercury drugstore and Watson’s I bought LADY TRUST PILLS instead since it also have 150mcg of Levonorgestrel.
I bought LADY pills in Generics Pharmacy at 45PHP (1USD).
The content is 30mcg Ethinyl Estradiol and 150mcg Levenorgestrel. I followed the dose I found in this site. ( http://en.hesperian.org/hhg/Where_Women_Have_No_Doctor:Emergency_family_planning )
Here is the dose for LADY.
1st dose: Take 4 tablets within 5 days after unprotected sex.
2nd dose: Take another 4 tablets 12 hours after the 1st dose.
REMEMBER:
1.) You should take the brown pills only because the white pill contains no hormone.
2.) Make sure you are not pregnant when taking the morning-after-pill.
3.) Taking the morning-after-pill is just for emergency contraception and does not protect you from HIV/AIDS. Make sure you check with your OB Gyne.
Hi! My period started on March 14 lasted until March 17 which is friday. Saturday midnight, we had sex and the condom broke. I took the first 4 pills at Sunday, 3am and the next 4 after 12 hrs.
ReplyDeleteQuestions;
1. Is there a high chance i will get pregnant?
2. What am I going to do with the remaining pills after I consumed 8?
sorry for the late reply. Most probably not kasi 1st is you had sex right after your period so most probably you are not yet ovulating. Secondly, you followed the instruction on how to take the morning after pill. As for the remaining pills, you can keep it in case of emergency or just throw it away. remember not to use the placebo pills.. the white ones.
ReplyDeleteInsane side effects ba talaga to? Salamat sa sasagot.
DeleteHaha. Hindi naman. For me wala naman side effect ako naramdaman 😀
