morning after pill?
Has anyone here taken this? How was your experience with this? Dh and I are trying to resolve some of our issues and work towards getting through this very rough patch, as it some times does we ended up in bed, but the ah condom went mia (very embarrassing) and sorry tmi, anyhow I am concerned as I should ovulate today (eek!) I want more children, but I want our relationship to be sorted out first. Thank you

I taken i a couple of time when we had mishaps (condoms falling off/left in) and we were no-where ready to start a family so better to be safter than sorry.
It's best to take it as soon as possible though I think it can be taken up to 3 days after sex. i had to take 2 pills, 1 straight away and then 1 12 hours later. If you cant get a docs appointment then you can get it from a walk-in-centre or sexual health drop-in clinic if there is one near you.

TAKEN FROM THEIR WEBSITE.
Provided you follow the instructions, Levonelle One Step is 95% effective within 24 hours of having unprotected sex, 85% effective between 25 ???????? 48 hours and 58% between 49 ???????? 72 hours. There is 1 tablet in the pack, which its important to take as quickly as possible.
After taking Levonelle One Step????, most women will have a normal period at the time they expect but sometimes, your period might come earlier or later than usual. It can also be lighter or heavier than usual. Or, you could have some 'spotting' until your next period. You can read about the side effects that some women experience in Are there any side effects?
Levonelle One Step???? is not 100% effective and will not prevent pregnancy in every woman.
If the emergency contraceptive pill fails and you do become pregnant, do not take Levonelle One Step???? again. Levonelle One Step???? does not work if you are already pregnant. If you need further advice, go to your doctor or family planning clinic as soon as possible.
I felt sick for an hour ot two afterwards, and made my AF nearly 3 weeks late, which delayed getting coil :evil:
All sorted now though!!
I'd definalty get it.....better to be safe than sorry.
