The approved American methods are designed to be given in the first 72 hours, specifically Plan B. But even the WHO says that about 1/10 women don't think of getting or taking Emergency Contraception or the so called Morning After pill until that time has already passed. If you want to make it easy, you can buy Plan B over the counter. But if you have forgotten to do this, and more than 72 hours passed, consider other alternatives such as an IUD or Ella. HRA Pharma, a European pharmaceutical company that designs products, devices and supporting services in reproductive health and endocrinology, announced in 2009 that ellaOne(R) (ulipristal acetate), its next generation emergency contraceptive, has been granted marketing authorization by the European Commission. Sold as Ella in the USA it is effective for up to 5 days, but requires a prescription. This is the first medication that was specifically designed to be an emergency contraception. It is a PRM: a progesterone receptor modulator. And it may have made a big step towards being marketed in the US now that Watson came into agreement with HRA Pharma regarding this drug. Contraception is good health for women, but if your method fails, your Gyno Gab gal thinks that affordable, safe and effective methods of post coital contraception are important for women. And Obamacare has made IUDs affordable, and another option women should discuss is having a Copper IUD inserted as both an emergency contraceptive as well as a great method of contraception. We look forward to more women taking advantage of all their modern contraceptive alternatives, including this one.
Decidual Cast Periods can be fairly easy, passing some tissue at a time, or off can come the whole lining in one piece called a decidual cast. Generally the lining of the uterus is only 6-8 mm thick at the time of the menstrual period, and it is shed gradually, a few cells at a time. The decidual cast is when the entire lining passes spontaneously. It's not uncommon, but it usually both uncomfortable, and alarming to some. But us women are designed to have some sort of periods Or Not? We have to pass tissue each month. Or Not? Are they good for us? Or Not? Do we want them? Or Not? Is this something that is individual? Or Not? It's a complex topic that I will be discussing a lot over my time in this blog. So lets start with basics: How much do we bleed and what are we loosing, and just what was this that the patient passed? And another basic: track your periods, and the Women's Health Practice site http://www.womenshealthpractice.com/media/pdf/menstrual_chart.pdf you
