Medyo mahirap morning after pill yung iba kasi they abuse it, delayed na ng matagal and they will still take it which can cause problems down the road. Meron din yan dito, forgot the name pero you have to take mga apat yata or something within a certain time frame and take it again after? Basta isang box yan. Forgot all about it.

Ask your OB what she can recommend, self-medication lalo na sa ganito can cause complications or hormonal imbalance among other things.

Anyway it's best to practice safe six, oo minsan mahirap specially when you're in the heat of the moment, pero ganun talaga. With great power comes with great responsibility sabi nga ni Batman. Yes he uses the morning after pill too.
