not really.. doctors do sell several types of pills in the clinic.. and u dun have to pay for the consultation.. just go to the counter and point out which one u want to get.. (usually, they will paste the box on the window screen.. cos ppl are to shy to talk and ask).. they will give u and u pay for it.. then ciao loh~~ most of the clinics in my area do sell these pills..

i get it at guardian pharmacy. the pharmacist provide consultation too

Emergency contraceptives are only for emergencies. Don't be an idiot and take them as if there is no tomorrow. It's bad for the system, not to mention inappropriate for BC. If you want to get BC, go for either condoms or birth control pills.

note:

only girls can get it from pharmacies.
their bf or husband are not allowed to get it unless they bring their gf in tow.

i tried it in aussie.and i was rejected lol. lucklily my gf was there to help me out.

Morning after pills or Emergency pills should not be taken for more than 4 tablets a week as taking more than will make the pills unreliable and will disturbed the woman reproductive system ie hormones. Therefore. its better to consume family planning pills which is 99% reliable in preventing pregnancy compared to emergency pills. So choose wisely!!

how ab IUD?..is it safe to use?

IUD (intra-uretine device) is safe to use because it involve no-hormone whatsoever and also can prevent pregnancy up to 100%! Unfortunately you'll get UTI (urinary tract-infection) such as whitish, sometimes smelly discharge more often than normal ladies without. Therefore, ladies using IUD MUST take extra-care with toilette hygiene. IUD can only be inserted for 5 years only and after that need to put in a new ones eventhough the T-shape IUD is made from plastic (conventional ones are made from copper) every 5 years.

hi, i want to know more about IUD,

so which is better, plastic or copper?

are there any other side effects or risk other than the possibility of urinary tract-infection? (eg: more painful periods)?

and why is it that IUD can only be inserted during period?

thanks!

yes can get at guardian pharmacy nowadays

few weeks ago a girlfren called and panic for having unprotected sex with bf. told her about the morning after pill.... and she went to take those

but the pharmacist advised that it's best taken 12 hours after intercourse latest 48 hours. does this means it wouldn't work after that time period?

and yes i scold the hell out of her for being stupid

Support for this informative thread...

Lets say you eat your birth control pills at 8pm everyday for 21 days. What if one day you forgot to take at 8pm but took it at 10pm instead? Because you were out and you forgot to bring it to the cinema.

Will it have any side-effects? Do we have to re-do the whole thing again?

If you have forgotten to take your pill from the usual time 10pm and it is before the next dosing time (8pm the next day) you still take take it immediately as soon as you remember it (not more than 12 hours)! Then continues taking the next dose as usual the next day.

But if you missed you pills for 2 consecutives day then different rules applies here (7 days rules) depending on how many pills have left on the strips and how many days have you missed the pills.

it is best taken within 5 hours after intercourse and the latest is 72hours.. but the chance of getting pregnant is high..

the lower the hours taken the better it is

REMEMBER FRIENDS:LISTEN TO ME!

Morning After Pills-Do not take more than 4 (four) a month

If you want to take more often of the pills, please convert to OC pills (21 tabs for 1 month cycle).

yea! POSTINOR IS NOT TO BE TAKEN more than 4 times in a month....
i tried it before and my gawd.....tulang sakit giler barbie man.....

i now use Marvelon... another type name is Mercilon.... is the 21 day cycle.... after 21 days....just lepak for 7 days and then start again another 21 day cycle of pills...

its much more convenient...u can make love as many times as u want....

if morning after pills...(like postinor) abit leh cheh la...cos u shudnt eat more than 4 a month... last time they sold it 12 in a strip....but due to misuse...now it is 2 pills in one strip and its rm3.20 man!!!! if u take the 21 days its cheaper...rm9.90 - rm14.90 per strip.

and its available at any guardian, watson or vitacare, or any pharmacy whose pharmacist is working on that day!!!!! if the worker there says no demand so they dunt carry stock...is lying to u!!!! the feller probably does not know what they're selling!!
