How is emergency contraception different from the abortion pill?
Emergency contraception is taken after intercourse, but before a woman misses her period. So it is taken at a time when a woman doesn't know if she is pregnant or going to get pregnant. The pills are, at this moment, prescription pills, but they are actually the same formulations that are in normal contraceptive pills. There are two kinds. There is a combined contraceptive, which is Preven, and there is a levonorgestrel, or progestin-only contraceptive, which is called Plan B. Those are really the same as the pills in oral contraceptives. They are just your everyday contraceptives, but done in a different way so that women can take them after they have been exposed to potential pregnancy, but before they are pregnant.Mifeprex, or mifepristone, which is the early abortion pill, is taken after a woman is sure she is pregnant. She's already gotten a pregnancy test and it's positive. Those women have the option of ending a pregnancy very, very early using a medication rather than getting surgery.
How many hours after sex is the emergency contraception effective?
"Sooner is better than later" applies to emergency contraception, but most of the studies show that it is reasonably effective up through seventy-two hours.What is the time frame for a medical abortion?
Medical abortion in this country is approved up through forty-nine days of gestation, but once again we're talking about an already established pregnancy. They are two completely different time frames. There is an enormous amount of confusion, both in the media and among doctors and patients as to what the difference really is.
