I know I should have posted in the girls only section, but I may have a better chance posting here, and I need to know ASAP.

for anyone who knows - i am supposed to take the morning after pill right now, they told me to eat so i'm eating. but there are 2 pills - they told me to take them both right away, but in the instructions it says "take one, then take the other 12 hours later." does anyone know what I should do? the clinic is closed now, so I can't call, and I'm having trouble finding this exact info on the net.

please help me

Is there a local hospital you can call? I'd rather you spoke to a doctor, nurse, or pharmacist than some strangers on the net. From everything I've read, the dosage depends on the brand they gave you.

I know. but I'm new here so I don't know where to call, and I figure there's gotta be some girls on here that may know.

okay... time to go ask the neighbors for a phone book!

Don't ask for this kind of advice from a bunch of wankers on the net.

Call a hospital or doctor.



but wouldn't "wankers" possibly know about sex and everything that goes along with it?

It was popular thought to space the pills apart as the directions say. Many clinics now advise women to take them together. They will work either way. The 2 times in my life that I have taken the morning after pill it has been the Plan B version and I took them 12 hours apart despite being told by the clinic the 2nd time to take them together. I fear taking both and experiencing nausia so I space them.

If you have any other questions you can visit the plan B website at: plan B,

There is another type of morning after pill, though it is less prescribed and the name escapes me now. But like I said, if you are on Plan B it will work either way. I have no first hand experience with the other version.

Like it says, one now, one twelve hours later. Make sure you take some anti-nausea medicine with it as well. Any motion sickness type meds will work.

thank you guys, I love you! I am taking plan B, so I think I will just follow instructions and take them the way it says.

you made me less worrysome. this is what porn conventions do to you. you're touching a porn star with your boyfriend and the next thing you know you're in the women's bathroom touching each other in all sorts of naughty ways.

"Recent research proves that the 2 doses of Plan B taken together are just as effective and well tolerated as the previous regimen, where the 2 tablets were taken 12 hours apart."

From a recent Barnard college study.

In other words: either way is fine.

My only word of advice: don't miss whatever food you eat tonight too much. You'll see it again soon. wink

If you vomit a half-hour or so after you take them, make sure you call a doctor/hospital, though. You may need a second dose.

Just for future reference, if you call 411 information and ask for the nearest hospital or the county hospital for your area they should know the correct numbers.

Yep! You can take eight of your regular birth control pills for this as well. Four now, four later. It's a great thing to remember if you can't get to a doctor.

But please remember to practice safe sex, ladies and gentleman. Pregnancy is not the only thing you need to protect yourself from.

She's right. Cthulhu is an insidious threat and really bad sex can create a tear in reality through which this ancient evil can enter our world!

I hope you don't have sex with anyone until you are mature enough to take such a topic seriously. Good luck.

What she said. The anti-nausea thing is important, becuase they make some women sick, and if you do get sick, the pill doesn't work.
