What does plan b do?

Attention earthlings, it is time to have a really important and slightly uncomfortable chat about sex. More specifically, let’s talk about what happens after some good old fashioned hanky panky gone wrong – introducing the mother of all morning-after pills – Plan B! This amazing pill has been taking the world by storm since its introduction back in 1999 (let’s give a round of applause for science) but exactly what does plan b do? Let’s break it down:

The Elephant In The Room

Before we get too scientific with our jargon-laden language (yawwn), let’s address the elephant in the room – you had unprotected intercourse and now you are freaking out. Hey, don’t blame yourself – accidents happen to everyone! To avoid constantly living life on edge and having necessary panic attacks everytime things go south , there is an alternate solution available- AKA Plan B.

Now before you start thinking that this magic pill translates into unrestricted carelessness, NO – I repeat – no form of contraception other than abstinence can guarantee 100% protection against pregnancies or STDs/ STIs . Butttt in case something goes awry down under, Plan B can definitely be used as your medical SOS call.

So What Exactly Is It?

You know how most medications target various symptoms at once ? You need a tablet for your headache; another one will treat cold cough ; yet another one fixes those pesky allergies… Well darling ,Plan b works wonders tantamount to them !It contains high doses of levonorgestrel which makes sure if anything escaped other contraceptive measures taken before doing “the deed”,this little guy interferes with ovulation process making sure egg doesn’t fuse with sperm.Also if sperms entered Fallopian tubes already they become immobilized hence decreasing chancesof providing unwanted security issues to uterus area .

So… basically speaking, it’s like taking a horse tranquilizer but with less side effects and more peace of mind.

When should you use Plan B?

When the going gets tough (i.e., your condom fell off/ broke or you forgot to take your birth control pill for days) ,that’s when Plan B comes in handy. Utilize as soon as possible but always within the first 72 hours after said unprotected fun otherwise effectiveness reduces over time.

But dear mortals do remember- It doesn’t offer full protection against STDs or STIs, so get yourself checked just in case pre-cautionary wise- besides nothing more romantic than opening up about all that lovable bacterial growth between each other! Who says love is dead?

Any Side Effects?

You ever notice how everything good has its vices? Alcohol, cigarettes…even Netflix has conditioned us into being lazy bums.But don’t fret -Plan B isn’t anything to be worried about: Its potential side-effects are mostly temporary including :

  • Nausea
  • Cramps
  • Fatigue
  • Headache

… well gee whiz those seem like everything PMS entails.
Very rare cases may have heavier blood flow during usual periods,but usually resolves quickly (Phew!)

Nevertheless if Plan B makes you feel nervous and apprehensive once taken (HELLO PARANOIA), there can be conflicting emotions –Talk to someone; call support line ;or see health care provider since anxiety itself has quite some physical toll too .

Feelin’ me yet?
Crickets
Yeah okay …too far

Sooooo…. How Effective Is It Really??

Impressively so!!It provides almost 95% accuracy whilst used within specified time frame . Also another one up on conventional treatment options ? Once utilized it starts working rather instantly.Albeit try interfering minimal amount with daily contraceptive routine –This eventually increases odds at fending off unwanted guest entirely, since Plan B might provide nothing more than one-time respite.

Bottom Line

In conclusion ,Plan B is an amazing emergency option for when things go both unexpectedly and poorly .Of course it doesn’t safeguard against STIs/ STDs,it insures making progress to reduce unwanted pregnancies which can be a real menace if not intended.

Always remember: You are your own boss! Use within 72 hours ! Consult professionals in time of confusion or doubt (does pounding headache = side effect or evidence of implausible pregnancy??Oh the horror).

And also aforementioned eleph- whoah ,nope no elephants here,… but basically if it looks like coercion ;if you feel uneasy? Say NO ! That’s why our brains invented this word – And just because birth plan exists now(more so since last 20 years), doesnt mean we oughta brush aside prevention methods entirely;Would hate catching windy situations later!
The power lies with you dear mortals -be responsible and stay safe.
