Effect of Forgetting 2nd Morning After Pill? Posted: 07-18-04 11:04am
Can I please get some feedback as to,
whether only taking the first morning
tablet and forgetting to take the second
tablet actually helps prevent pregnancies
at all, or do both must be taken together
to have any sort of effect at all?
If having only just taken the 1st morning
after pill and forgetting to take the 2nd
actually has any effect on the period?

The levonelle 2 pill, which i'm guessing
you took, is only effective when ou take
both pills twelve hours apart, if you
forget it I don't know what the effects
are, you can take it no more than 16 hours
after the first though. If it has only
been a day since you had unprotected sex
or the condom split or whatever happened.
Then go back to the doctors and get
another perscription and this time
remember both pills. If however it has
been more than 72 hours, then I don't
think the levonelle 2 pill will have
worked and you need both doses of the
hormone to stop the sperm settling in the
egg. If the sperm does settle then one
dose of the hormone has shown not to harm
the developing foetus.
