Can I take the morning after pill right after having s*x?

Question

well i kinda said it all in the title

Answer 1

Yes you can. You can take it up to 72 hours after.

Answer 2

yeah, that's the point but you do realize it's still an abortion and you certainly should not use such a harsh product on your body as birth control.

Answer 3

First the "morning after pill" is not an abortion. It's the same as normal birth control pills, just in a much higher dose. It's main way of working is to confuse your body and stop you from ovulating the month that you take it.

Now to your question: yes, you can take it right after s*x or up to 72 hours after. The sooner you use it, the better. So if you're having s*x and notice that the condom broke, you should take Plan B (brand name of the pill) ASAP.

You really should have a primary form of birth control and use Plan B only as a backup as needed. It's expensive if you were to use each time you had s*x and it makes some people feel very sick to their stomachs.
