Plan b

jcieply · August 2013

What are your thoughts on the plan b aka morning after pill? Would/have you ever used it?

BPer · August 2013

I've used it once, when DD was about 3 months old. H forgot the 'pull' part of the pull and pray, and it was right within my highest fertility window. I wasn't ready for 2u1, so I used it to be on the safe side.

KellersPrag · August 2013

Yep, I've used it and I would use it again.

tinyhumantoe · August 2013

Have and would.

Cheenomae · August 2013

I've used it and would also use it again if it were ever necessary!

PenelopePond · August 2013

I used it a long (10ish years) time ago. I don't think I would now, but I certainly would never judge someone else for using it.

[Deleted User] · August 2013

I have used it in the past and would consider using it again if necessary.

kbetzner · August 2013

I have and probably would not use it again because dh would have a shit fit over me using it. If I was single or dh did not want anymore children I would use it

jcieply · August 2013

So glad I asked this. I didn't mention that I took it this morning. A little too much alcohol last night made me forget to tell Dh I was in the pregnancy window. I panicked and felt embarrassed doing it as a mother. I want another child but I'm a very high risk pregnancy and we have to plan it. A couple more years.

Have never used it, but if I needed to I would

watercolor5 · August 2013

Haven't used it, would in theory, but we want 3 kids anyway, and after the third one of us is getting surgery, so I hope I never need to. Of course, this from a lady who got KU when her firstborn was 6 months old...

I don't think it's any different from using hormonal BCPs, just a higher dose of the same thing, so I certainly have no problem with it.

Holly_1007 · August 2013

Haven't used it. Probably never would, but things happen, and I can't say with any certainty that I would *never* use it. I don't judge someone for using it, I actually commend you for realizing that you might need it and being pro-active about it. Don't beat yourself up.

AlinnJo · August 2013

You do whatcha gotta do and who cares what anyone else thinks! I've never taken it but would if I felt I needed to.

tinyhumantoe · August 2013

Other than being a little tougher on your body because it screws up your body's normal schedule, it's no different than taking bcp. Please don't feel bad/weird taking it!

MrsKipper · August 2013

I haven't used it but the hormones in it are the same as Seasonale/Seasonique/Jolessa that I took for 3 years but I think at different levels, though. With that said, I don't see the harm since all it does is prevent you from O'ing if you haven't yet. If you have then it does you no good and won't terminate an existing pregnancy.

kbbgg · August 2013

Yep and yep.

damabo80 · August 2013

Pro plan B. never used it, but I totally would have if I had an oops sexual encounter when I was in HS/college/before I got married.
Once we have kid #3, my tubes are getting tied during the c section so I don't anticipate needing to use it in the future.

danabsd · August 2013

Used it in college. More than once.

Would again if needed. I'm with Anita, it makes me feel like shit.

jenmbott · August 2013

Add one more check to the 'used it more than once in college'. I did not have any side effects. I'm not sure if I would use it again simply because I'm married so another puppy to the litter would make me happy.

thebanich · August 2013

I haven't and probably wouldn't because I have an IUD.

melody921 · August 2013

I haven't used it. I probably wouldn't at this point bc I'd just figure we'd have 3 kids instead of 2. But there were definitely stages of my life where I would have used it, and I think it's good it exists.

Eastie156 · August 2013

Used it once, about 8 years ago. Glad I did. Would I use it now? Not sure, but it's there if and when a woman needs it. I'm not saying abuse it, but I firmly believe its there got a reason.
