Has anyone experienced any obvious, fairly severe side effects (especiallyweight gain) from taking ECP twice in a short time (in this case, 5 days)?

the "morning after" pill. it prevents pregnancy if its taken the right way, but is not an abortion.

ecp stands for emergency contraception pills

I would imagine it can not be in any way healthy for you. The one time I had to take it, it made me really sick. Think about calling your doctor and asking to make sure.

Twice in the span of 5 days? I would go crazy.

I experienced some water weight gain after taking it once, so I assume it could happen with two doses. It's most likely just water, because it takes 3500 unburned calories to create a pound of fat. :)

If you are experience severe side effects, I would call the doctors office, pharmacy, or advice nurse to talk more in detail about it.

if you're taking it that often, i'd recommend a more reliable method of birth control.
