No, taking two birth control pills does not have the same effect as the morning after pill and therefore does not serve as an emergency contraceptive method. The idea that two birth control pills can replace the morning-after pill is related to the fact that both pills have the same hormones in their compositions. However, the hormonal doses in each of them are very different.
The amount of hormones present in the morning-after pill is much higher than that found in the pill in the pack. To get an idea, a morning-after pill corresponds to about half the chart conventional contraceptive. They are very high doses of hormones, which can even cause several side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, headache and breast pain.
Therefore, the morning-after pill should only be used in situations of emergency and not regularly. Its frequent use can unbalance the woman's hormonal levels.
So if you had unprotected intercourse during the fertile period, if the condom broke or you forgot to take the conventional pill and you want to avoid pregnancy, you should take the morning-after pill, which is specifically made for such situations. As has been seen, taking two birth control pills does not produce the same effect at all.
Consult a gynecologist, general practitioner or family physician for guidance and guidance on a contraceptive method that is right for you.
