I have an iud, but I had unprotected sex so I took plan b to be safe. I had sex six days after and?

We, here, often hear of girls who have messed up their bodies for many months by using Plan B more than once in the same cycle, & from speaking to many doctors on the matter, they most definitely are not all in agreement that frequent use of Plan B is harmless. Just looking at the side effects of Levonorgestrel (Plan B), here on this site, shows potentially terminal illnesses, such as stroke, & breast cancer, as noted side effects. It's obviously possible that the more times you use the Drug, the more chance of side effects you can have, & I think people with a stroke, or cancer, for example, would consider those long term effects, unlike short term, temporary effects, such as bleeding changes or mood problems. These are all listed as known side effects from post-market reports, rather than ones they say the incidence of which is not known.

In my opinion, it would be incorrect for any doctor to say there are no long term effects of frequent use of emergency contraception, when there are longterm side effects listed in the patient information. Toxins build up in the body, from any pharmaceuticals you consume. The more you use, the more toxins in the body.

There are also a significant lack of longterm studies, that can clearly say a woman, who, for example, got breast cancer in her 40s, did not get it from use of emergency contraception in her 20s. They just can't clearly attribute it, after that amount of time, & rule out or in, other factors. It's just not known.

When you research this, the answer you get is that there are no known longterm effects, rather than there are no longterm effects. Again, I find that incorrect given the known side effects listed in the patient information leaflet, from evidence in post-market reports.

In the short term, I trust the actual feedback we get from women here who are using the drug, & their experiences. Frequent use of Plan B brings us many reports of unpleasant & intensified side effects, compared to the lesser effects of occasional use, which can still be unpleasant & intense for some. The more frequently they have used emergency contraceptive pills, the longer & more intense the symptoms they report. That is common when using this Drug more than once in the same cycle, & even within a couple of months as the last dose. The more it has been used, the more reports of unpleasant side effects I see.

Regardless of this, I hope you achieved your desired outcome, & avoided pregnancy. It doesn't sound like the IUD was the right method of contraception for you, as you did not feel confident with it, & for good reason, given what happened to your mother. I know women who have become pregnant using it. Having said that, I know women who became pregnant using the contraceptive pill, too. No hormonal birth control is 100 percent guaranteed to prevent pregnancy.
