Its in part true here since a girl can go to a public health care center and they'll give it out for free no script. Thats how I got mine, by sending my GF to 6 different public clinics.

 

[Shoot Me Up]

how many abortion pills do you need to take a day to prevent progest effects, and how much is one?

 

[mike001]

INFO...

huge bump for info!

I know it's pretty new and lack information and experience among
bodybuilders, unlike estro blockers and such. But we really need
to know about the RU486 just in case we get signs of Progesterone gyno with deca, tren or something else.

bump for info

 

[manny78]

I was told that 4 of them would be fair enough in case you have signs of gyno..... but I got 6 just in case lol

You can go to a planned pregnancy center and get them; I've had to go with my girlfriend several times ...but they are expensive, $36/pill.

Really? What is RU486 if not the morning after pill?
And I think it's been found affective upto several weeks after conception.

RU486, that's harsh Are You 4 TRASHING/DISCARDING, what a sense of humor the developers had.

RU486 is an ABORTION pill which, as the name says, ABORTS the baby.

The morning-after pill prevents conception in the first place, that's why it has to be taken so soon.

BTW, anyone know where to get either in TJ?

 

[rugger]

Ah ha... gotcha, but there is no ONE morning after pill AND RU486 is most commonly referred (pop culture anyway) to as the morning after pill, thank you very much (sarcasm), although RU486 is not really and emergency contraceptive.

EMERGENCY CONTRACEPTIVE PILL

Emergency contraceptives are not the same as RU-486, a form of non-surgical pregnancy termination recently approved for use in the US. EC is actually a series of high-dosage hormone pills, estrogen and progesterone, given in two doses twelve hours apart, as soon as possible after the unprotected intercourse occurred—preferably within 24 hours and no later than 72 hours. Currently, several series of pills are on the market, including Previn and Plan B, both of which have been approved for use in the US in the last two years.

BUT the point of the post is getting lost in this. RU486's legal status, availability and use in BB.

Here's some good stuff about it taken from www.choice.org

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Where to get mifepristone in the U.S.
Mifepristone or Mifeprex (formerly RU-486) was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on September 28, 2000 and U.S. shipments to health care providers began on November 20, 2000. While mifepristone is not yet widely available at U.S. clinics, the following information should assist you in locating mifepristone nationwide.

You may want to call the National Abortion Federation¹s (NAF) toll-free, bilingual hotline at 1-800-772-9100 for a list of health care providers who offer Mifeprex or visit NAF's web site on early options at http://www.earlyoptions.org

Contact your local Planned Parenthood to find out if they are providing Mifeprex for early pregnancy termination. Planned Parenthood health centers nationwide are already offering Mifeprex for early pregnancy termination.. To find out if a local Planned Parenthood Clinic offers Mifeprex call 1-800-230-PLAN or visit PPFA's website at http://www.plannedparenthood.org

To find out more about the mifepristone procedure, visit the Mifeprex website at http://www.earlyoptionpill.com/

Your best chance of getting mifepristone may still be the U.S. clinical trial sites. Thanks to the Abortion Rights Mobilization (ARM) and the Feminist Majority for this list.

Another Drug for Terminating Pregnancy
Methotrexate is a drug originally used to treat cancer that can be used to terminate pregnancy. It works by blocking the absorption of Folic Acid (while RU-486 stops the absorption of Progesterone.) Although Methotrexate is approved by the FDA for cancer treatment, it is not officially approved for terminating pregnancy. However, it has been used extensively to terminate tubal pregnancies by Ob-Gyn physicians since 1988. (Pregnancies can occur when the egg and sperm lodge in the fallopian tubes, rather than the uterus.)

Recently, Methotrexate has been used electively by Ob-Gyn's to terminate pregnancies in the uterus. To get a medical abortion with Methotrexate, please contact your Ob-Gyn or one of the following providers:


Planned Parenthood: (800) 230-7526
San Francisco: (415) 668-1010
Oakland: (510) 444-5676
Walnut Creek: (510) 935-3010


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So this pill has been around for a long time as a cancer medication.

My GF's uncle (who's a doc) estimated that about 2 pills should be enough, but he would hit 4.

the pills are white just like the Hellas clomids. Mines are 600 mg of Mifepristone.
