Expert: - 7/12/2009


Question
I had sex with my girlfriend at 2am and realized after the fact the condom
broke.  I have read on several websites that the bc called mononessa can be
used for the morning after pill.  My question is if this is true how many need to
be taken, for the first and second dose if needed?

Answer
Andrew,

I don't recommend the morning after pill or anything like it. There are too many risks and side effects to the woman and sometimes is not needed. Please read this article on http://www.optionline.org
Look for the article called Morning after pill and read.

Please let me know what you think. My email address is DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and hope to hear from you soon.
