Morning After Pill or  Levonorgestrel, is a synthetic (man-made) version of a natural hormone progesterone produced by the ovaries.

Progesterone is also called a pregnancy hormones.  

Taking Levonorgestrel the version of progesterone tricks you body into thinking that you are pregnant.  It is thought to prevent pregnancy by stopping  or delaying  the release of an egg (ovulation). It is also believed to stop implantation( attachment of the fertilised egg to the uterus). One reason some religion are against contraceptives.  

Levonorgestrel is thought to prevent pregnancy if taken within 72 hours (3 days) of sex to prevent pregnancy.  𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿. 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘆. TAKE IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AFTER UNPROTECTED SEX.  

𝗣𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗘 𝗡𝗢𝗧𝗘:

1.  Emergency contraceptive is not 100% effective, only abstinence is 100% effective in preventing pregnancy

2. Emergency contraceptive will not protect you  from having sexually transmitted disease(STDs), HIV, HEPATITIS etc. Be faithful to one partner whom you know their status or use a condom. 

3.Levonorgestrel is not an abortion pill. It does not cause a miscarriage or abortion. In other words,  it does not stop development of a fetus once the fertilized egg implants in the uterus. So it will not work if you are already pregnant when you take it.

5. Compared to daily 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 pills(microgynon,  safe plan etc),  Morning after  pill is a very high dose and should not be used as a daily or weekly routine method of birth control. 

>Taking  1 𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘁 of morning after pill  is like taking 10 𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘁𝘀 of microgynon, oracon or safe plan at once.  

> The manufacturer does not recommend  taking it more than once every cycle. If you keep on having emergencies every day or week, then that is enough evidence that  you have a busy schedule which is unpredictable hence the need to switch to short Or long term contraception. 

5. Having sex again after taking the morning after pill, won't prevent you from getting pregnant.( Remember that it DELAYs Ovulations).
