Just given birth 2months ago me and Dh did the deed unfortunately the condom broke I contact ted my Gp right away and was given the levonelle pill to take but I was given two is that normal or did everyone else just take one she said it's bec of my weight?

Also what was your side affects please

Thanks I'm advanced

I took it quite a few years ago and there was definitely 2 pills that you take a set time apart, I can’t remember how long. It was a few years ago but I don’t remember having an side effects

Isnt it 12 hours apart for the pills? I was fine with it, just had a period about a week later which messed my cycle a bit but nothing major

Yes it’s two if you are fat/overweight/bmi whatever

@greeneyedlulu not any more

Levonelle changed about a decade ago to just one 1500mcg tablet rather than 2 x 750mcg tablets 12 hours apart. The guidance from the faculty of sexual health has recently changed again to 2 x1500mcg tablets taken as one dose if you weigh over 70kg/11st or have a BMI of over 26, so it probably is correct that your GP has prescribed 2 tablets and they should be taken together

I took it yesterday, was only pill to take

Two pills for levonelle is correct if you’re weight is greater that 70kg or BMI over 26. Below those figures is one pill.
