I don't like babies (well..not yet)

Some guys will come into the pharmacy and go like : can i buy contraception medicine??  And then i will be like : which type?? brand??  He would be like : huh? *confuse* ..don't know *take out iPhone*

The devil side of me would be saying : told you to use condoms !  *smug*
I can be really mean if i want to but seriously i am just teaching the boys to be responsible .

I know the teachers don't teach all these in biology classes and the boys and girls in school talks about the birds and the bees on their own during recess time but here is some proper information about these hormone pills , oral contraception pills and emergency contraception pills.

Emergency Contraception
This is what the guys above mentioned needs. They are contraception pills for unwanted/accidental sexual intercourse. The pills are usually a single dose , one single tablet , or atmost 2 tablets . For details refer to the picture below ( bottom far left ) , brand names are Postinor-2 , Escapelle, Ella , Plan B . Let me explain further what does it mean by 'accidental' . Refer to the second picture about menstrual cycle, Day1 is the first day you bleed/period begins ( for the ladies ) , and the day before your next period is the last day of your cycle ( not numbered as all women is different ) some has a 28 day cycle, some 29 and some 32 , it can even be 32.5 !!! ( that is why women are so hard to understand ) Let's take 28 days cycle as an example , the 14th day from the 1st day of the period is the ovulation day (+2/-2 days)which means the 'dangerous' period , meaning unprotected sex will give you baby/babies *big NO*  The emergency contraception works best when taken 48 hours after the unprotected sex , so you still have some time to get to the pharmacy and buy your pill. Some countries require filling out a form, signing a consent form before purchasing it , so make sure you bring along your ID/passport if you are a foreigner .

The daily OC pills ( new generation )

Yasmin , Yaz and Diane35 are the daily kind of contraception pill, more appropriate for family planning use as the emergency contraception pill involves extensive calculation and causes more side effects if not taken properly. These pills contains oestrogen and progesterone in a low dose suppressing ovulation ( no eggs release from vjj) .They have their characteristic meeting needs of different ladies . The diagram below ( top 2 pics ) shows Diane 35 ,which is suitable for acne or acne prone skin , this is because the pill suppresses the male hormone ( causing pimple) in women , but the down side is increase in appetite is rather obvious in ladies taking this pill , weight gain is rather common with this one .. Well who knows it could be a good news for ladies who tries to gain weight ! Diane35 is a prescription medication in some countries . Yasmin ( bottom right 2 pics ) on the other hand has the least likelihood to cause weight gain. The ingredient causes body to get rid of water retention by passing out urine . Perfect for ladies who are concern of putting on weight from taking contraception pills. 

Weight gain usually settle down after 3 months of taking the pill . Water retention is common but not more than 2kilos . 

These hormone pills has other side effects , if you want to be sure or know more , read the package leaflet or speak to your gynaecologist . The information given here in this blog are mainly to provide simple BASIC knowledge to the public of interest .
