Can An Emergency Contraceptive Be Taken Just After Wearing A Xulane Patch?
Question: I just got my Xulane patch two days ago, I got it on the last day of my period. My gynecologist said it would need a week to take effect.
Unfortunately, I just had sex and the condom broke! Would it be healthy to take the morning after pill ? If not what should I do ?
