Plan B is levonorgestrel (.75mg given as two doses, 12 ours apart, administered within 72 hrs of intercourse) to stop a conception from occurring or advancing.
At least two OB-Gyns on the PRC (who are not particularly concerned about birth control pills in general) absolutely agree that the mini-pill is more likely to allow breakthrough ovulation; thus, they will NOT prescribe the mini-pill to postpartum mothers (or to anyone else) for “contraceptive” purposes.
The pill is often used to “regulate” the menstual cycle....
Yasmin is a combination pill that uses a progestin that can trigger an increase in potassium load in the body. As such, there are some women who may suffer serious complications if they are at risk for kidney, liver or adrenal system diseases. The added burden of potassium can upset the sodium-potassium balance in the heart bringing on a heart attack.
I read an article by four physicians that makes the case that ovulation normally causes a rapid build-up of the endometrial tissues; that anytime a woman on the pill ovulates, the surge of hormones accompanying ovulation counteracts any abortifacient effect on the endometrium. As for one of Alcorn’s most powerful evidences, the evidence from ectopic pregnancy ratios, they maintain that those studies only concern progestin-only pills (and so do not apply to combination pills). What’s interesting is that these physicians take as fact the effect the combination pills have on the endometrium but simply deny this effect ever ...
I’ve been told about your ministry and the issue of birth control pills causing abortions. I’m doing continuing research on this subject, but I’m careful who I receive information from. I would like to know if you’re part of a church denomination, or whom the ministry is accountable to. Please don’t take this the wrong way, but I feel it’s important to know about the person we receive counsel from.
We’re glad you’re careful who you get information from.

I’ve got some questions related to the data presented in your booklet regarding the different degrees of thickness of the endometrium. Also, doesn’t breastfeeding work the same as the pill in preventing ovulation and therefore it doesn’t produce a thick endometrium?
At the top of page 19 you quote, as evidence of the importance of endometrial thickness, a study showing that it’s a good indication of pregnancy, that thicknesses less than 7mm never were sustaining pregnancies. On page 20 you use the number 5-13mm for sustained pregnancy, and 1.1mm for average pill users, “who clearly ...
I’ve heard there is no possibility of breakthrough ovulation if you take the pill at the same time every day. Could this be true?
One of our Christian friends who is on birth control knows a lot about medicine and has studied the medical field. She says that if you take the pill at the same time the exact same time every day it cannot cause an abortion. It will not go to stage 3. The only thing it will do is prevent ovulation. There is no possibility of breakthrough ovulation if you take it at the same time ...
I am experiencing a high level of anxiety and guilt feelings over my wife using the Pill, even though it was only for one month. I didn’t know the information I do now about the possible abortifacient effect of the pill. How can I deal with this guilt?
