This just made me think of something – someone told me once that the morning after pill was the same as a girls normal ‘daily’ pill – is this true @Nurse_Nettie ?

It’s also a different dose than what you would take daily. You can find more info on the different types of contraception pills here 🙂
Thanks @Nurse_Nettie
