Planning sex.

[VelvetClover]

The morning after pill is up to 48 hours after sex however it is an EMERGENCY contreceptive as it is borderline prevention/abortion so its not advised.

The morning after pill is in no way boarderline abortion.


Some info taken from a leaflet I have at home -

The emergency contraceptive pill is a tablet containing progestogen, a hormone which is similar to the natural progesterone women produce in their ovaries.

It should be taken within three days (72 hours) of having unprotected sex. It is more effective the sooner it is taken.

The emergency pill is most likely to stop an egg being released (ovulation) or delay ovulation. It may also stop a fertilised egg settling in the womb (implanting)

Emergency contraception may stop ovulation, or fertilisation of an egg, or stop a fertilised egg from implanting in the womb. Medical research and legal judgement are quite clear that emergency contraception (the pill or an IUD) prevents pregnancy and is not an abortion. Abortion can only take place after a fertilised egg has implanted in the womb.

However, the leaflet also states -

People who believe life begins when the egg is fertilised may not wish to use the emergency contraception methods outlined in this leaflet

So if that's what you believe then fair enough but in my opinion, in no way is the morning after pill "boarderline abortion" - it's prevention of a pregnancy not elimination of a pregnancy.

I personally do not advise using the morning after pill as a form of contraception. I've taken it about three times and although there is apparantly no danger in taking it many times, it does mess up your periods for a little while after and is less effective the more time you leave between having unprotected sex and taking the pill itself. Also if you happen to vomit two hours after taking the pill, you have to take one again.

Condoms are always the best way to go really, they're really easy to get hold of either from family planning clinics for free or in shops to buy, obviously, but be careful that they don't tear and that you put them on properly.
Although they can interrupt sex and many blokes really don't like wearing them, they protect you from unwanted pregnancies and STI's.

Accidental double post.

Even so velvet it shouldn't be used just becuase it's there! It encourages teenagers to have unprotected sex and just think "It'll be okay the morning after pill is free".

I never said it should be used just because it's there. If you read my post I advise against using it as contraception.

I'd have to agree but it isn't worth the risk imo

just pull out and dont bother with a condom. people on here are clueless and obviously have never had sex with / without a condom. it's 1000x better without a condom. hope this helps

Hey guys,

i want some info.

Me and my GF are planning to have sex, but we want to know what contriception are avalible.

another thing i want to know about is the morning after and "the pill".

For the pill - how long do you take it for?
Morning after - again, how long do you take it for..

I don't know if this has been said but if you can't spell contraception then you should not be having sex.

That is a stupid comment.

And whoever said not using a condom isn't that much different is stupid also.

But yeah, sex is more pleasurable without a condom however a condom is the safest/most effective to use against both STD's and pregnancy.

It's not just the pleasure on your bits you should enjoy, it's the moments of love itself.

[Cryptoo]

The difference between using one and not using one isn't actually that noticeable. And if your all about the pleasure then go for feather-light as you can hardly tell your wearing one during intercourse.

I agree with you there. It's hardly any difference, and if it's your first time you might want to keep the 'no condom one' until later on, or perhaps to have something to look forward to when your married.

I would go for extra safe, once I used the (I think it was) those 'tingle' ones, for one; they stank of mint sauce and two; they are so thin. It actually ripped then so me and my gf rang the emergency doctor (it was a Saturday) and were running round the next morning trying to find an open chemists. TBH, it's not worth the stress - Imagine if you did get her pregnant.

Whatever you choose, be safe. The pill (not the morning after pill) is the safest, thee safest and is available free from your doctor, she'll take it straight after her period and continue taking them until they run done. Anytime within those days you can have unprotected sex, at the end she will have a long period (7 days).

If you don't want to be safe, be prepared for consequences. Also, if you only want to do it for pleasure and your not sure about it maybe your (partners) hand might be the best alternative. Sex can be a big deal.
