chocccie Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 I'm amazed it's available without prescription - it's quite a serious pill (in terms of it's effect on the body) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 "Contraception d’urgence" might sound better - or if that's a bit too direct, try "pilule du lendemain" [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchie Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Yes, Norlevo is " la pilule du lendemain", A woman must take it as soon as possible after " un rapport non protégé ( without contraception) , or if there was a " condom accident" .

Wendy Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Norlevo - I was prescribed that by the local hospital last year to 'hurry on' a miscarriage already in progress. To 'get things over and done with' in other words. This is not a drug to be tampered with believe me - I had to stay in bed for three days and was in a lot of pain.And it messes you up in other ways too. Not a nice 'alternative' at all.

Frenchie Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Maybe the pain was due to the miscarriage because I used Norlevo once, and it was ok with me, just a bit sick on the second day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Down to both I'd say - I was told to expect severe cramping and duly experienced it, but it was worse about 20 mins after taking the drug each time. The things we girls go through... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
