Morning-After Improv?

[technicolours.livejournal.com]

Long story short, I started the POP (Ortho Micronor/Camilla) a week ago (but not near my period so my protection at this point is by chance at best) and tonight... the condom broke.

Well, I can't get Plan B, period. So, I was planning to try maybe just doubling up on the leftovers (we're talking 14 usable pills) of my Kariva (Mircette) pills to do the job. My question is: How would I go about doing that?

(Sorry, but crossposted to birthcontrol.)

I don't believe you can use Kariva to double as Plan B. This site - http://www.plannedparenthood.com/pp2/portal/files/portal/medicalinfo/ec/fact-emergency-contraception.xml gives a list of what can and can't be used but perhaps you could ring the Kariva manufactuer to double check?

i take ortho micronor and it states in the pamphlet that it protects you from pregnancy 48 hours after you begin taking it. someone correct me if im wrong.

You're correct. http://www.ortho-mcneilpharmaceutical.com/products/pi/pdfs/micro.pdf

On page 2, it says if you start on a day other than the first day of your period, you should use a backup for 48 hours. After that, you're good.
