Does the Morning After Pill really work? and if so how does this prevent you from being pregnant? Does it flush ur system?
The morning-after pill is essentially a slightly higher dose of what's contained in regular birth control pills. It works to prevent ovulation or fertilzation just like the regular pills do.

thnx birdgirl i was just curious..
You're welcome. There are lots of misconceptions (pun fully intended) about post-coital birth control, even among pharmacists. Lots of controversy, too, because of those misconceptions.
Of course it really works with a 95% accuracy and that decreasing to about 30% 3 days after and so on, after 7 days there is absolutely no chance of it working at all.
The sooner you take it, the more effective it will be. If possible, do it within 24 hours, but the direction usually say its highly effective up to 72 hours. Once the egg or whatever attaches itself, it won't do jack.
Get on birth control if possible, even if you have to talk to your parents about it. They'd probably rather know that you're having sex and help you out with it instead of finding out that you missed your period X-weeks ago.
Spending $40 every time you mess up can get pricey.
Mifeprex is the one called the abortion pill actually-it eliminates a pregnancy-not the morning after pill. Most people don't realize you a woman becomes pregnant days after-sperm continue to travel the fallopian tubes and then attach and voila,your pregnant.

The gal I dealt with used Plan B. It contains 2 pills. After we had unprotected sex we went to the hospital like a few mins later and got the prescription to get the pills. We went to the pharmacy and got it. We had sex around 3:30am and she took the first pill at 9:05am. She will finish the last pill later on around 9:05pm (12 hrs after the first pill)
I got her on those pills. i dont want to have any kids....... yet lol
