What to expect from plan b?

Are you feeling a little worried about that one drunken night or unplanned intimate encounter? Well, fret no more because Plan B has got your back!

Plan B is an emergency contraceptive pill intended for use after unprotected sex. It’s like a superhero that swoops in just in time to save the day (or more appropriately – your reproductive organs). Here’s what you need to know about this wonder drug:

How does it work?

To put it simply, Plan B works by preventing ovulation. It contains levonorgestrel which is a synthetic hormone similar to progesterone found naturally in women’s bodies. This hormone stops eggs from being released into the uterus and therefore prevents fertilization.

If ovulation has already occurred, then Plan B may not be effective as it does not terminate an established pregnancy.

When should you take Plan B?

The sooner the better! Ideally, you should take plan b within 72 hours of having unprotected intercourse or contraception failure such as condom slippage/breakage. However, studies have shown that even if taken up to 5 days after intercourse (that’s right folks FIVE WHOLE DAYS) its effectiveness decreases but can still provide protection from unwanted pregnancy

It doesn’t matter whether it was vaginal or anal intercourse – either way leads sperm closer and faster reaching their desired location with unstoppable force — woe unto anyone caught unawares!

How often can I use Plan B?

While there are no long-term studies on using emergency contraception frequently, doctors advise against doing so due to potential harmful side-effects on fertility/ sexual life in general healthwise like nausea/vomiting etc ughh sounds dreadful . So please purchase condoms while sober next time folks.

Side effects of taking plan b

Like most medications out there If someone takes too much levonorgestrel than needed/every other day or already has undiagnosed underlying medical conditions, things can go wrong. Here are the potential side effects that 5% of women who take plan-b may experience:

• Facial acne
• fatigue & dizziness
• vomiting/nausea
  VOMITING IS A REAL SIDE EFFECT PLEASE BE CAREFUL OUT THERE
• Abdominal pain & cramping

If you feel unsure about using this contraceptive pill don’t hesitate to consult your physician.

Can Plan B prevent STIs?

Plan B is NOT a reliable method for preventing sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). It only offers protection against unwanted pregnancies and not any other health complications that suprise sex carries – some STDs may leave lasting scars like herpes shudders so use protection folks!! Always

What happens after taking Plan B?

Initially where it gets confusing since there is no timeline as to when certain symptoms might kick in whilst others have experienced minimal side-effects maybe if we conjure our spirit animals together they might give us an answer…No ok fine forget I mentioned anything. Jeez! #wildboredpanda

Anyway here’s an approximate breakdown of what could happen :

Within 24 hours:

Body temperature rises, abdominal bloating may start
As major research on levonorgestrel emergency contraception states that taking two pills within a few hours will initiate mild nausea/vomiting but decrease the probability of pregnancy by nearly 90%.

Now isn’t that something you would want someone to have told you ages ago?? Listen up people – Two

pill-type-M&M tablets consumed at one time sounds better than even thinking of having long term mental duress from unwanted pregnancy right? RIGHT! Lets keep reading haha!

After 1 week:

I cannot guarantee success with everyone as every body reacts differently but most usually expect slight changes in their menstrual cycle such as it starting a bit earlier than the usual cycle or postponing passage of menstrual blood.

After 2-3 weeks:

Most likely expect all side-effects to be gone if none at all are present.

Does Plan B work for everyone?

Like with most things there is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to contraception, people’s metabolism/pathophysiology plays an integral part which sometimes could deter expected effectiveness of Levonorgestrel emergency contraceptive pills like plan b — if you are currently enrolled in ongoing hormonal therapy medication you must mention this factuality prior to popping pills willy nillly hoping for protection against pregnancy – we can’t have miracles happening every second folks!

When NOT to take Plan B

Women who fall under any of these categories should not use Plan B:

• Pregnant ladies/ women lactating/breastfeeding.
• Individuals previously allergic or presented adverse effects after taking oral contraceptives.
• History severe liver disorder and/or acute hepatitis.

It’s important that you consult your medical doctor or GP about whether it is safe for you to take Plan B as often times underlying health conditions may worsen without correct counseling by an auto formatted webpage written by yours truly 😉

THE BOTTOM LINE: If taken within 72 hours (or up two days) of unprotected sex/unexpected birth control failure its highly effective, but don’t overuse/abuse levonorgestrel emergency contraception (Plan-b), because though rare, serious complications might arise.”
There’s no need to fear people preventive measures protect us from unwanted pregnancies; just make sure they’re used responsibly./end rant!
