Question:
Answers:
Well IF you were already pregnant then it was not even at the stage of being a fetus as some people have put up here, a fetus is fertilized and attached to the uterus already, a fertilized egg is not a fetus until the 8th week of fertilization and up. If you were pregnant it would have been considered a zygote. Which is simply the joining of sperm and egg still floating around aimlessly.
The morning-after pill (or postcoital pill) consists of a series of very high doses of estrogens, progesterones or combination pills. They may be effective in preventing pregnancy if initiated within 72 hours of sexual intercourse. This method of BIRTH CONTROL works by ALTERING THE ABILITY OF fertilized egg to implant and grow. It is usually not recommended as a routine birth control method, rather it is reserved for special circumstances.
*Not 100% effective for birth control (because contrary to what some believe it is not abortion which is 100% effective because after one of those you KNOW that you are no longer pregnant.)
*Must be prescribed by a health care provider.
Side Effects
Side effects occur including nausea, vomiting, headache, breast tenderness, bloated feeling and swelling of hands and feet. The side effects may be less with the combination pill and more severe with the use of the high-dose estrogen alone.
If pregnancy does occur, the use of these drugs can have significant effects on the developing embryo. Pregnancy termination may have to be considered, meaning if you were already pregnant and took this you would still be pregnant. They would ask you to consider abortion because of the effects that the medication would have had on the "baby."

Advantages
Is generally effective for birth control (97-99%), but effectiveness varies depending on the time of the woman's menstrual cycle; if taken at mid cycle, the failure rate is higher.
It is an immediate form of birth control should unexpected intercourse occur, such as with rape victims.
It is a backup birth control option for couples experiencing failure of other methods: expulsion of an intrauterine device, condom breakage or diaphragm displacement.
Treatment/Post Procedure Care
You should be examined by a doctor before taking a morning-after pill.
The pill may be taken beginning within 24 hours and not later than 72 hours after unprotected intercourse. Generally, the high dose estrogen, is taken once daily for five days; the combination pill (oral contraceptive) consists of taking two tablets followed by two more tablets in 12 hours.
A follow-up examination in three to four weeks is recommended to assess the effectiveness of the treatment. Another form of birth control, if needed, should be discussed.
Long story short the morning after pill disrupts the uterus to make it so that IF the egg was fertilized it cannot implant itself.

the early termination of a fetus. im not be sarcastic, but the pill basically terminates a pregnancy at that stage, so wheather or not u really where pregnant thats what was happening.
Probably just your mind playing tricks on you, silly. Dont worry abut it- youre fine.
The morning after pill is NOT an abortion, and you CANT feel anything.
It is NOT a fetus, anyways. There isnt anything implanted, and there is no pregnancy being terminated. I hate it when people call an 8 celled organism a fetus, lol.
The morning after pill can be dosed from ANY birth control prescription, also. It IS birth control, NOT POISON, lol, and dont let anyone tell you different.

People need to understand the difference between a medication abortion and a morning after pill. A morning after pill (emergency contraception) IS a birth control pill, its just taken AFTER sex, rather than on a long term basis.
I have taken several mornng after pill doses, on several different occassions, because like me, not everyone CAN use long term hormonal birth control methods.
Go to te site, for all who are concerned, and there you will find the dosage for all the different birth control pills, to take as a "morning after" pill.
Also, some states allow pharmacists to prescribe the morning after pill, too. Call your local pharmacy (like walgreens) to learn more.
Your conscience telling you you're stupid.
Maybe your ovaries are shriveling up from too many morning afters?
You take too much poison you're bound to poison yourself.
The morning after pill works like a poison. It either shut down ovulation or was just too strong for you. Do your fertility a favor and get on BC pills and continue to use condoms. Its a lot safer and a lot less risky.
Could have just been pain caused by the stress, maybe could be constipation, maybe gas pains. And no, it's not an abortion. People need to read up on the differences between Plan B and the RU.
The morning after is a strong pill. The stuff that's in it can make you sick. Same as a birth control pill, only stronger.
