How Effective Is The Morning After Pill Within 72 Hours?
Question: How affecfive is the morning after pill if it is taken four times in one cycle ( after abortion) not had a actual period. Also can i take microgynon 30 4 tablets amd then 4 again after 12 hours instead of a morning after pill
Brief Answer:
It is very effective and would work!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
Morning after pill has over 95% success rates when taken within 72hours after unprotected intercourse to prevent pregnancy. Taking it several times in a month has not been shown to decrease the effectiveness.
Taking 4tablets of micrygynon 30 is equal to a morning after pill. This would produce same results as the pill marketed directly for that purpose. The only difference is that you would be taking 4tablets and not one in the combined pill.
Please, I would suggest you consider using a contraceptive method. Talk to your doctor about this and get relieved of the stress of constantly using morning after pill for all intercourses. Condoms would offer additional advantage in preventing against diseases.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
