Morning after the meatballs - don't leave it to chance!

Everyone makes mistakes, and unprotected sex can be one of the biggest mistakes in your life. The condom bursts and alcohol can take away all the reasons. But help is in front of you, it can be found very easily.

So, if you are pregnant after an unexpected sexual encounter, how can you solve the problem? Well, it's easy... Eggs are released 14 days before the next period expires and survive for about 48 hours. Sperm can live for five days. Therefore, during the normal 28-day menstrual cycle, the hazard time will be from the 9th day to the 16th day of the cycle [sometimes increased on one side to determine one day].

In the UK, the usual brand is "after breakfast". Known as the Levonelle One Step. It can be purchased from any pharmacy and costs about £28. The pharmacist must be involved in the sale, but after a few questions, the tablet is yours. The sooner you take it, the better, but as long as the tablet is taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex, Levonelle is very effective. If taken within 24 hours, the effective rate is 95%, 25-48 hours - 85% effective, 49-72 hours - 58% effective.

Levonelle contains a hormone called levonorgestrel, a synthetic form of progesterone that naturally occurs in women. It works;

• Prevent fertilized eggs from being implanted in the uterus

• Prevent the egg from being released from the ovaries

• Prevent egg fertilization

A few people do have side effects, including nausea and vomiting. If vomiting occurs two hours after taking the tablet, you must take another tablet immediately.

According to the special NHS program, Levonelle is also available free of charge at most pharmacies. This will involve a longer discussion with the pharmacist privately. Will ask a few search questions, for example;

• When did you last unprotected?

• When was the date of your last issue?

• What is your normal method of contraception?

• What other medicines have you taken?

• Do you have any long-term medical conditions?

• Have you ever tested for chlamydia?

I think pharmacists need to make sure that Levonelle is not used regularly as a means of contraception, and that you don't promiscuously pass and pass STD's. Be fair, and consider not charging, and then answering some embarrassing questions is definitely worth it.

Going to the pharmacy no longer has any flaws. They all have private consultation rooms and most pharmacists are very professional. So even if you're willing to pay for a tablet, £28 will definitely prove to be a wise and reassuring investment.
