Can Ella Be Taken After Taking Plan-B?
Question: I took plan B yesterday and I wanna take torromow XXXXXXX since I weight 223 pounds and I'm scared that Plan B doesn't work for my overweight . What should I do??? Help me plz
Brief Answer:
You have right
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear and thanks for your query.
It is reall that women who are over weight(over 167pound or with BMI over 30), plan b have no more effectiveness.
Hence you can take XXXXXXX but some data show that it lost effectiveness too with increasing weight.
In fact in your situation, while your weight is 223 pound, best preventive method (you can put it within 5 days of unprotected intercourse) and with long term contraception effect is IUD.
In the end if you have had unprotected intercourse and you feel that you may have conceived, better choose COPPER IUD.
All the best
