emergency pill

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for trusting health care magic.
Papaya and pineapple are natural abortifacients but they are not sureshot in dealing with an unwanted pregnancy.
In your case best is to take emergency pill which is almost 95% effective.
But from next cycle onwards take some regular method of contraception as increased intake of emergency pill increases the chances of tubal ectopic pregnancy.
I hope I have answered your questions but in case you have other concerns yoy can contact me directly on http:// bit.ly / drmanishajain. Take care.
