April 1, 2008

Whether the condom broke while you were having sex, or you noticed that your NuvaRing had accidentally slipped out without you knowing, there may come a time for emergency contraception (Plan B) so let's see what you know about it.

Okay, to set it straight, if your Nuva Ring falls out, your fine, just put it back in within the next three hours, and my gynecologist said you will be fine.

5/5. People need more facts on this and then there would be a lot less abortions in this country!

Good point sunshowers; there are so many pharmacies on my side of town that it never occured to me that they're sparse in other areas. I used Plan B awhile ago and while I'm very grateful it was available and that I didn't need a prescription, the reaction I had to it definitely gave me a reason to think a lil harder about my decisions from then on. I was nauseous and dizzy and had some weirdness with my period-I was on my period at the time and it stopped, then came back a few days later so heavy and with such bad cramps I thought I might have to go to the doctor to make sure everything was ok. It worked, though, and my period went back to normal after a couple of months.Note to self: prevention is preferable to treatment.

Swedeybebe, I agree that it's not cool. Honestly, if you have moral issues that conflict with DOING YOUR JOB, then you should choose a different line of work. People who have moral issues with nudity don't become strippers. Jehovah's Witnesses don't become doctors. Imagine if policemen were allowed to choose whether or not they would enforce controversial laws due to their own personal beliefs? The justice system would crumble. And AnnaLove, it's not always easy to find another pharmacist. Some people live in very small towns way out in the middle of nowhere, where there are only one or two pharmacists. If they are refused the pill, they could be forced to drive hours away to find the next pharmacist... only to be refused there as well. Keeping in mind that many people don't have a car at their disposal, and that the pill is only effective within the first 72 hours, these delays could have terrible consequences.

Damnit, I would have gotten 100%, but I went through it too quickly and read the last question wrong. Grrr...

Thanks DearSugar! I always thought Plan B was like an abortion if you accidentally got preg. I'm not against abortion for everyone, but I couldn't do it myself (as I recently found out from experience, lol). I think it's fine if a pharmacist does not want to dispense you the pill. Contraceptives are a big moral issue for some, and it's not that hard to find another pharmacist.

Swedeybebe: Although it's true and really sucks that a pharmacist can refuse to give you Plan B, you can always request another pharmacist, or that pharmacist needs to get one of their coworkers who doesn't have a problem with dispensing it to do so for you. They should just have a vending machine that you can go to. Machines don't have morals :)

I also chose an incorrect answer for question one (but was tempted to choose "all of the above"). Though I knew that Plan B would "prevent an egg from getting fertilized" and it wouldn't "affect a fertilized egg if it's already attached to your uterus," I did *not* know that it would "prevent an already fertilized egg from attaching to your uterus."
