Hello Anon
Thank you for writing.
It sounds like you don't understand how the Pill works. You take it every day to prevent pregnancy. There is no need to use a condom or emergency birth control if you take it as prescribed.
Look up the emergency contraceptive brand you used to learn about side effects but keep taking your Pill every day as usual. Your system will sort itself out within a couple of weeks. I also suggest calling your doctor for an explanation on how your birth control works if you don't understand.

Hello Susan,
I looked up the ECP and I read all the side effects. I made a wrong decision of taking an ECP now I have frequent head aches because of it. Now, I know not to take any, I take my pills on time everyday and will continue doing it.

Hello Susan,
I wanted to add that after we had sex I used the bathroom right away. I heard that using the bathroom afterwards is good. Also, since I never missed a pill am I protected from pregnancy?

Hello
January 5, 2018 - 11:46amUsing the bathroom after sex is good as it can help avoid urinary tract infections. It has nothing to do with preventing sex.
Since you don't miss pills you will not get pregnant. Relax, you're fine :)
