34. A problem w/using concentrated doses of regular BCP vs Plan B
is the nausea factor. If women simply "up the dose" of their regular BCPs to act as emergency contraception, it is a very real possibility it will make them nauseous enough to vomit them back up - which will make this option useless.

Plan B is formulated in such a way as to make the dosage tolerable, without the nausea & possible vomiting.

If a woman cannot get her hands on Plan B, and the high doses of regular BCP makes her vomit, what can she do then?

I'm familiar w/ways of getting Plan B from alternative routes, but I would really like some practical info out there for the woman / girl who may have access to regular BCPs in an emergency, but not Plan B...what about vaginal insertion? I have heard this alternative tossed about...
