Emergency contraceptive

I just got emergency contraceptive. Does anyone here try it before? If so, is it working? I don’t want to take it but I have to. I already have 4 boys and I’m not ready for more kids in the same time it’s hard for me to do that. I feel like I might get twins this time.

If you don’t want more children why are you having unprotected sex?

@N 💞 I just forgot to take the birth control pill and I found out that after the sex

I’ve tried it a few times in the past this time it didn’t work I got pregnant after taking it. It doesn’t work if you have already ovulated. It only delays ovulation if you had unprotected sex and haven’t ovulated.

It’s only going to work if you have not ovulated. The way it works is by delaying ovulation giving sperm time to die. If you ovulated already it wont do anything at all

@Bella it was the last ovulation day. Day 16

@Romy it was the last ovulation day. Day 16

I came to say the same, it only works if you haven't ovulated, I took it and I'm now 21 weeks pregnant xx

@Sarah so if you ovulated already, it won’t make a difference. Sorry

@Jes this is the one I got.

It's the same drug i took, it should say on the instructions about ovulation x

@Jes is that what you got? They say it’s a plan b and it should work but I have to take it within 72 hours and sooner it will work better

It's the same base drug i had but a different product. I took it within 12 hours but because I'd already ovulated it was too late x

@Romy I don’t know if I feel good or bad but I’m so confused 😢 I have 4 boys close in age 7 & 5 & 3.6 & 2 and I’m all alone have no one to help

@Sarah according to my ovulation window, it was a day after I was done ovulating and I took it the day after that and got pregnant. I think it’s because during that window you can ovulate any day and the egg remains in your fallopian tube for 12-24 hours in which time it can get fertilized even if you take plan b. Since you don’t want to get pregnant I hope you ovulated early during that window of time. I know how you feel bc I felt the same. I wish you the best of luck! 🤞🏻

@Bella thank you ❤️

I took it under 24 hrs after, and i found out i was pregnant after. I must have ovulated. It doens’t hurt to try it, just take it asap

@Jeny I took it and I’ll get a pregnancy test after a week to check

If you’re even a little overweight, it won’t work

@Nicole that’s what the doctor told me. I’m 168 so he told me it will be less affected but still can work. I’ll do pregnancy test in 3 days
