I've heard that the morning after pill is
essentially 2 birth control pills, except
the added ingredients that help stop
nausea.
That said, could taking 2 birth control
pills immediately following sexual
intercourse work in the same way a morning
after pill would?
Any answers would be helpful...

2 birth control pills will not help you!
The dosage is higher than the equivlant of
2 pills and it also has different
ingredients, however the new pills they
have can be taken up to 120 hrs
after...But it is best to take it sooner
than later, and the morning after pill
only has up to a 75% effective rate. So
try not to forget your pill, and get a
morning after pill.
