The morning after pill can be taken after sex, within a few hours, to preent pregnancy. But it's intended to be used in emergencies only (i.e. the condom breaks). I believe it starts your period, so it messes with your cycle and probably isn't a huge pleasure to use. It's a better idea to use preventative birth control first, and save that for if you think it could have failed.
Regular birth control pills, which use hormones to prevent ovulation and work with your natural menstrual cycle, must be taken daily at the same time every day in order to work properly. They don't reach their maximum effectiveness until you've taken them for a few weeks. Missing pills will reduce their effectiveness.
Your girlfriend will need to see a doctor if she wants to go on the pill. I recommend using both the pill AND condoms, or another combination of methods like condoms plus spermicide. No birth control method is 100% effective, so if not getting pregnant is very important, take extra precautions and use multiple methods. Just make sure that all the methods are compatible and that any other products you use, such as lube, won't interfere with the effectiveness of the birth control (oils can damage condoms).
P.S. Never try to reuse condoms, and make sure they are within their expiration date and that the package is not worn out. If the package is damaged, that's a good indication that the condom inside could be damaged. Don't use condoms that have been in a wallet for a long time. Handle them gently and use lube if necessary, since friction from dryness during sex can cause the condom to tear. Sometimes tears can be too small to see.
I don't know whether or not taking the morning after pill (plan b) frequently is even safe. But you definitely don't want to be taking it all the time. Also, I'm not sure exactly how long she needs to be on the pill before you have sex, but the longer the better. I would say at least a month if you want to be really careful.
The Morning After pill really messes up a girls cycle, emotions, everything really. I would recommend avoiding that at all causes, it's not a pleasant experience. I know some people that have been hospitalized from it and others that have the most painful periods of their life, so it's safe to say it's a crazy drug. However, if that's what it comes down to you have up to 72 hours to take it (the sooner the better), and ask for the generic brand, it's about half the price and does the same thing.
saphirasilverwings is right with everything she said.
for the birth control to work properly she should be on them for a couple weeks, at least 2. before you rely on them. it isn't a pill that you can take after and it will prevent her from getting pregnant, she has to take them continuously before and if you plan on having more sex in the future she has to take them continuously after as well. if you are just looking for a pill that she can take after and only take once you can get plan B, but keep in mind plan b is about $50. hope this helps.
> if you are just looking for a pill that she can take after and only take once you can get plan B, but keep in mind plan b is about $50. hope this helps. I wouldn't recommend that though, that stuff is meant for emergencies, not as regular birth control.
thanx for your kind and detailed answer. But we won't be having sex more often. itll be once a month or even two. Still she have to continue it until she wanna get pregnant?

What's Your Opinion? Sign Up Now!There is a pill that she can take after sex, its called 'plan B' and as the name suggests it should be used as alternative only.
She should the ordinary birth control pill, which she should be on for at least a month, to work properly, better two BEFORE you have sex. And of course she needs to keep taking it, especially if you want to have sex again.
And keep in my mind all those only reduce the chance of pregnancy, none is 100% safe, even if used correct
do not make her take morning after, get some normal birth control, wear some condoms, or just don't be having sex. you aren't supposed to be planning to take plan b and other similar drugs, that's why its called plan b. it really f***s you up. she will be nauseous, probably throw up, have the worst cramps and headaches of her life, and its meant to basically start the worst period of your life to ensure that no baby was able to implant in your uterus. NOT a first choice for birth control at all. if you can't get her to take pills regularly, then just use condoms. they are easy, cheap, as-needed birth control and you get std protection as well :)
