I'm a retired nurse. I'm surprised that many politicians are not educated in this. Politicians should not practice medicine.
Many people are very ignorant about women's health issues.
Amen !
This! There are many other things they shouldn't do like practice medicine and lie.
This is not the only thing they are not educated in but want to set regulations and laws on those with knowledge far superior to theirs.
If you were a nurse, and agree with her, you should have nevwr been a nurse.
She's either dumb, lazy, or lying. Pick one. Its a quick Google search. The morning after pill does three things, not one. This comes from any medical webpage, and the pages from the actual company.
"prevent ovulation, block fertilization, or keep a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus."
Notice that last part, ladies and gentlemen? Don't be so easily deceived.
literally says ON THE BOX that it will not TERM a pregnancy. it can only PREVENT. not reverse it. like the fact that people think theres just an "Abortion pill" for 40$ at CVS is wild like tf
From the book “Molecules and Medicine”. “Mifepristone, a synthetic steroid, is used for termination of intrauterine pregnancy up until about the eighth week.”
@@toddrfthat is not the morning after pill though, that's the abortion pill, a totally different thing.
@@cowboyfan0786 you’re right. There were other threads under this topic talking about Mifepristone and I replied to the wrong one.
That’s only because the definition of “pregnancy” has changed for convenience.
@invisiblespirit5476 maybe your understanding of what pregnancy is has changed, but it's always been when a fertilized egg implants in the uterus. The morning after pill doesn't prevent implantation of a fertilized egg. It makes sure the egg doesn't come out at all to get fertilized. Now, the abortion pill deals with the egg after it has already been fertilized, ans does terminate the pregnancy.
“Therefore, any emissions by a man that are maturbatory in nature could be considered child abandonment.” -Legally Blonde (possibly misquoted)
If you’re getting your information from a movie, your going to have a bad time.
A human is created when sperm meets egg
Neither the sperm or the egg separately can create life.
@@metoonunyabidness1391I bet you’re real fun at parties.
@@georgelux126wow such a child. They are correct. Can’t handle the truth than shut up.
@@metoonunyabidness1391but that not how it works hun. At that stage it doesn’t even meet 1 requirement of the 7 requirements of life.
@@metoonunyabidness1391 wow... how many parties are you invited to
Politicians in the US should be required to pass a test (written by you!) before being eligible to run for office!
Nah, they should require the agreement of a panel of relevant professionals before being able to pass laws pertaining to their field. At least for the fields of medicine and healthcare. And the panel cannot be chosen by the politicians, either
@@raerohan4241 that would be removing democracy from the people and putting it in the hands of elite bureaucrats.
Even within this video she admits it could end the life of a fertilized egg she's being a bit dishonest.
better yet, politicians should stop trying to practice medicine.
Bottom line: our bodies should not be apart of politics!
Most US politicians shouldn't be allowed out in public without a carer...
If you take it when you’re already pregnant, and it doesn’t do anything, I don’t know how the heck someone can say it’s abortion.
Because those people are stupid and they don't actually care to begin with they just want to control women
Because they don't know. It's a misconception (pun unintended)
@@tcog9300 haha
Yeah that's so stupid! You don't even have to be pregnant yet, if the egg started to descend it's too late for the pill.
It can only work if you take it before the egg started descending, because it works by delaying that for a few days.
I don't get how so many people don't understand that!
I once watched a short were a young couple was approached in a mall by this RUclipsr who wanted the boyfriend to choose a gift for his girlfriend and he would buy it for them.
He chose a morning after pill and the comments were just filled with people ranting about abortion and killing a baby etc. and there were burning discussions.
But why do you need to discuss abortion when there wasn't even a fertilized egg yet?
The morning after pill only works BEFORE you start to ovulate. That's because it will delay the descend of the egg by a few days. If the egg already descended the pill is useless.
It's a pill to PREVENT pregnancy, not to terminate it!
And you can only take it in a certain window of your cycle, otherwise it won't work!
Man, I hate people sometimes! How can you discuss something like that without even knowing what you're talking about?!? I'm enraged just thinking about it!
It's like none of them ever received proper sex education, it's unvelievable!!
I have actually since my last comment learnt why, funnily enough. Plan B prevents fertilisation, but it was once thought that it also prevented implantation (fertilisation happens before implantation). Implantation is the stage at which you are considered 'pregnant', so either way, Plan B is ineffective after you become pregnant.
HOWEVER, many people consider the zygote that exists between the stages of fertilisation and implantation to be a human life. Preventing implantation means the zygote will die, killing (what they consider to be) a human life. For this reason, the word 'abortion' is used as short-hand for the termination of a human life inside the mother (even if not technically correct).
I'm not going to debate the merit of the logic of this way of thinking. Ultimately, it is founded on a misconception (ha). Studies indicate that Plan B does not prevent implantation.
I have endometriosis, and because of that I take birth control pills to keep me from having periods and to hopefully stop my cramping. I’ve had to explain to so many people that they are not “abortion pills”, they are not “getting rid of a pregnancy”. It’s absolutely ridiculous how many misconceptions people have about birth control and morning after pills
This will be the next battle ground because of religion and misinformation. BCPs, IUDs, eventually diaphragms and spermicides. We need to take control of our rights before we have none.
You should look into a doctor if you haven’t already that can help you get to the root cause of why you are suffering so much with your endometriosis. There are so many factors that go into your body, you deserve to be taken care of and not just have a bandaid put on your problem. The sad truth is that most doctors are trained to throw medication at people and not take the time to truly help you and figure out what is actually making you sick. All the best to you 🙏🏻
@@vashoncheerleadr2013same here (not the false consumptions but Endometriosis) the pill is the first option for doctors 🤑
A laparoscopy is better but more invasive.
Either way it sucks to have it espacially when it is not taken serious. During my education as a CNA I told a nurse that because of my endo I had to call sick and she basicly told me that she has it as well, I should just take painkillers cause I couldn't miss work for two days every month. Well first because of my PCO my periods are irregular and they don't always hurt the same and secondly EverY EnDO HitS diFferEntlY!!! As a nurse on a gynacologist station you should know...
@@vashoncheerleadr2013 endometriosis is a genetic disorder, and the only way to “cure” it is a hysterectomy. birth control pills are a perfectly fine medication to manage the symptoms and slow down the spread of uterine tissue to other organs.
@@vashoncheerleadr2013we don't know the cause of endometriosis. Medications are the best option because the only other treatments are hysterectomy (which doesn't always work) and excision surgery. If medication works, it's the best option.
Honestly I think a big part of this is people not realizing how getting pregnant even works, most people I know think an egg is always available for fertilization and don't even know ovulation is a thing
Then you know some dumb mf people.
Lol 😅 dude it's so true. It's very scary to me that this vital information isn't understood by or taught to everyone
Rabbits ovulate upon mating. Humans are not rodents. Many animals, can "discard" unwanted or forced matings (rape), even if fertilized when conditions are not right to raise offspring. Many insects, spiders, fish and other creatures, can mate once and fertilize from stored sperm whenever they want to. Women are not broodmares for forced-breeding programs by the state!
Christian homeschoolers, dude. And there are too many who've had abstinence-only "education". Then they're like, I know how babies are made! I've seen porn.
@@gingercat Half the people responding to this video don't understand how babies are made.
There are people out there who believe any type of birth control is a sin ... 🤦♀️
Yeah and they think they can make decisions on our behalf screw them 😅
And then those same ppl also shame women who get pregnant out of wedlock. It’s ridiculous. They just really want to stop women from having sex for some reason. I don’t get it.
they think women should received natural the consequence of having sex, and make women stop having casual sex out of fear of the consequences.
@@donaldfromtiktok6424 Not just women. Men and women who aren’t ready for a baby.
#the people I was raised around. So thanks to home schooling I never knew anything about any birth controls and just knew dogs got spayed and I longed to be spayed my whole life. Can’t wait to finally get my spay😅. I still don’t know anything about birth control but I’m working towards the permanent because that’s what I know about and that’s what I want and have wanted since I was 6 years old.
They could almost say choosing not to have sex is an act of abortion, then. Because there was a potential pregnancy there too and they chose to put a stop to that by not having sex.
Or saying every menstriation is a miscarriage 😅 i know someone like this. She said she had a miscarriage every motnh after she started trying for a baby 🙃
@@SL-gz3dy that might be coming from a place of misinformation, but it's still incredible insensitive to the women who actually suffered miscarriages 😥
@@IzzyTheInsane97 oh is see. I misunderstood you first.
Verry sad. I tried to help, but she doesn't accept the information and thinks her 5 last periods are miscarriages. Hope she will get pregnant soon!
Edit: I misscarried at 7 weeks and it is painfull indeed.
@@SL-gz3dy Sorry, I noticed my wording was bad but only after I hit send! It's early morning where I live, my brain isn't fully on yet 😂
I'm sorry for your loss, I hope you will soon have your baby, if that's what you wish for 💛
@@SL-gz3dy Umm did she not have periods before she started trying for a baby? Or does she think you become pregnant each time you have sex? I don't understand 😄
I'd send this to my father (who has some wild misconceptions about pregnancy) but I'd probably get disowned
Well this is a better option than a 12-16 week abortion. I'm pretty sure you can just get it over the counter.
Mine disowned me when I couldn't stay silent any longer and finally did start calling out his inaccurate beliefs on a wide range of subjects. It took me literal decades, but the pain of listening to the lies eventually became greater than the pain of being disowned. It was destroying my mental health. It then took about 10-12 years, but he eventually started to challenge his long-held beliefs in order to reclaim and rebuild a relationship with me. You can only do what is best for you at any given time. ❤
Give me his email, I’ll send it to him
That's solidarity right there! Made me laugh 😅
I considered signing my mom up for a mailinglist of an organization that gave out good medical and scientific info, when she started going down the Covid misinfo rabbit hole a while ago. Kind of the same reason: I wanted her to get the info, but couldn't do it myself for the sake of both our relationship and my own mental health. Ya' know, _accidentally_ type in her email instead of mine. I never could decide on a source though.
Note: I am not saying anyone should do this, just that _in theory_ one could 😇
And if you sometimes share a computer or laptop, you can of course feed the algorithm trusted sources, so they see more of those on their homepage. In theory, of course 😉
I'm happy to send it to him for you, if you'd like
Those of yall saying pregnancy starts at conception are driving me nuts. Just because the egg is fertilized does not mean it is guaranteed to become a pregnancy. 30-50% of fertilized eggs never attach to the uterine wall. The egg just passes on during your next period, similar to a non-fertilized egg.
By this logic, you could say pregnancy actually begins once the embryo attaches to the uterine wall, since this is when the pregnancy actually becomes permanent and the embryo can start growing. Prior to this, the egg IS NOT ATTACHED TO YOU and CAN STILL LEAVE NATURALLY. The egg is not actually a part of you until it implants itself in the uterine wall.
And the implantation takes almost two weeks after sex. It takes multiple days for the sperm to reach the egg and even more days for the egg to reach the uterine wall.
So this doctor is right. Even if conception occurs, the egg still might not be attached and still might pass on its own.
Wouldn’t be nice if pro-birthers could talk factually about the topic of abortion rather than relying on misinformation and misogyny?!
Not sure what’s misogynistic about not wanting innocent human beings to be killed, but yes the morning after pill doesn’t kill anyone
@@andrewanderson3016
You should look into the meaning of the word misogyny, it has nothing to do with your feelings about abortion. You could also try and be less myopic on the topic as well, your opinion on abortion is meaningless to anyone other than yourself. It should inform YOUR choices/actions, no one is forcing anyone to get an abortion - get your nose out of others peoples lives/medical care.
@@anthonygroenewold the meaning of misogyny is: hatred of, aversion to, or prejudice against women.
How is being against the killing of innocent human beings misogynistic?
@@andrewanderson3016 your sperm is an innocent human! Have you ever thought about that? Forced mother are bad mother, lots of children are brutally de@d every year because of child neglect from deadbeat parents, but you don't care about that 😂😂 as long as the poor innocent humans 🥺🥺 are birthed, right? Once they're birthed 🥺🥺 god will magically make sure they're going to be all 'fine'
@@lizzyverdiflor8807 Sperm are not humans. They are haploid germ cells.
I am so grateful that you created this channel and that you're helping to inform people on a broad spectrum.
And yet it’s still so hard to get. It is very expensive and a lot of the time the pharmacy is out. Things like that needs to be a lot more accessible for people that need it. There’s a good way to bring down the amount of those abortions that everyone hates so much. Make plan b and preventative measures more accessible for everyone!! I appreciate you bringing attention to issues revolving around these subjects.
I went looking for Plan B at the local pharmacy one time. They had it hidden behind a wall of pregnancy tests on the very top shelf. Fortunately, they failed to completely hide one, and I asked an assistant to help me get it down. She gave me the dirtiest look I think I've ever gotten from anyone, and I don't think it was because she had to get out the step stool.
I've taken the MAP a few times and it's always been made clear at the consultation with the pharmacist that it will not and cannot end an established pregnancy. I remember arguing with some of the boys in my Religious Education class in high school that it wasn't an abortion for this very reason and they became like vultures and told me I'd killed my baby(!!!) I'm glad you're spreading the word ❤
@@Galedriall it’s not a pregnancy till the egg implants, so no it’s not a termination
@@Galedriall did you literally not listen to or understand the video at all? Or are you choosing just to be ignorant?
@@Galedriall 70% of all fertilized eggs fail to implant naturally... without the use of Morning-After pill. Those failures are not considered miscarriages because ... it's not a pregnancy till it implants in the womb.
@@GaledriallIt does not prevent implantetion,it prevents ovulation. If the egg was fertilized this pill will not prevent the implantation.Please watch the video again she says this in the video.
@@Galedriall wrong
I feel this is extremely valuable information! Thank you for setting us straight!
She's partly right. A pregnancy test is using measurable HCG in the mother. These levels increase daily during pregnancy and usually can't be detected by pregnancy tests in the early stages.
@@lanina718 Who and what are you talking about? And what is incorrect. The entire video? It's confusing. Please, if you are going to be negative, stop being vague about it.
Why is this still a topic of discussion? What a woman does with HER body is HER business.
Well said.
Exactly
I always thought it prevents implantation. Interesting
That's what i was taught, too
Same
It works by postponing ovulation(thus preventing it). That is also why it is not 100 % effective because if you have sex after ovulation has happened and while you are fertile it won't work. But a copper IUD will because it can prevent implantation.
You cant have implantation if you dont ovulate .....
That's because it does. The box of plan B says it in the warnings
This is why people who are not fully educated should not be able to have any say about this.
Its kinda funny how little anti abortion people really know about pregnancy
Most anti abortion people I’ve seen don’t believe this
@@andrewanderson3016yet republicans are working to ban plan b
The people who are anti abortion also believe that a man walked on water and came back to life. That should tell you how little they know about the subject.
@zac9417 I also think it's funny that they don't even care when men use contraception or yk masturbate and "kill" thousands of unborn lives. But as soon as a woman uses contraception or wants to get rid of something that literally looks like a yeast cell, they get called murderers lol. And that's ignoring the fact that anti abortion laws also ban killing ANYTHING in the uterus, including but not limited to cancer!
I hope the morning after pill is readily available to all women. It certainly beats an abortion.
Too bad it also costs like $50. My husband used to work at a pharmacy, and I was just appauled when he told me how expensive they are!
@@bethn2836 - Are they not covered by insurance? If not I bet a program like GoodRX would cover a substantial amount. I used that when I didn't have insurance coverage.
@@MLMLW I honestly have no idea (a quick Google search says yes, with a prescription). This was like four years ago he worked there.
@@bethn2836 Wow, I’m an Australian pharmacist and the pharmacies here buy plan B for less than $3 aud. We sell them for $20 aud where I work but it’s cheaper elsewhere 😅 that’s crazy expensive
@@bethn2836 all insurances are required to cover emergency contraception at $0. Find out what your insurance covers and ask your doctor for a an rx with prn refills. Pick one up to have on hand, then replace once used.
Oh boy these comments are yikes. How about go help out some kids in foster homes or something instead yeah? They are actual children who need actual support.
Most children in foster care are because their drug addicted parents won’t give up their rights

@@alexandrarysavy8579 do you not care about children in the system? Why would this person be pretending? Do you not understand their situation? Ps fetuses are children. They’re not people. They don’t think until they’re almost born. They don’t have consciousness. They can’t be held higher than the human beings they’re inside of.
@Alexandra Rysavy But this video specifically explains that there is no "actual child". By your logic we should mourn every time a woman is on her period because that is a potential human that will never see the light of day.
@@alexandrarysavy8579 ✨there's not a fucking child✨
Here in Norway you can buy them in grocery stores, at gas stations as well as in pharmacies ofc. they cost around $20. In the pharmacies there's no age limit, but at gas stations and grocery stores you have to be 18 to purchase them.
To be fair, the distinction only matters if we are pathologically obsessed with forced pregnancy and denying bodily autonomy
This is why women's healthcare is so important. There's so much misinformation out there.
Seriously I had to argue with my school about extremely limited bathroom breaks because my homework partner bled through her pants in class because substitutes cannot hand out hall passes to their students
They really be like “pulling out is abortion!!!”

@@ambriaashley3383 which you should take very skeptically nowadays. They’re the same folks who will cut your sons pecker off if he plays with the wrong toys
I have been in the trenches trying to get people to understand this very fact. Or to understand that an unviable fetus removal/tubal pregnancies are technically not an abortion. The whole "making women carry dead fetuses" argument is disingenuous at best. (I'm old school pro-choice for context)
P.s. there are a surprising amount of young women who do not understand that the "pill" is birth control. Or really understand how their own reproductive organs work.
If ovulation has already started, it will not stop it.
Yes. I have always understood how it works. My additional info was just to shine a light on how much is NOT understood about female reproduction.
Terminating an ectopic pregnancy is an abortion. Otherwise it grows until the tube ruptures.
I’m a new pro-choice (never been pro-life) and it’s amazing how much men feel the need to comment on this subject. They are not women, they are not doctors, and they certainly do not understand the female organs or what it’s like to be pregnant.
I agree. It is quite startling how little of this vital information is understood. I thought that I was part of the minority, because I was sheltered and my Catholic family had a "hands off" style of parenting. I didn't actually know Anything about my body, until 15 yrs old in public highschool. A friend of mine showed me a book for adolescence going through puberty that explained and normalized these things that I grew up seeing as Taboo and shameful. I also had a friend take me to planned Parenthood for my first pap and breast exam when I was almost 18 years old. If it wasn't for that friend and planned Parenthood, who knows how things could have gone for me? They taught me about birth control options and gave me a prescription. My mom found my Rx and she was Livid. 😅 Quite startling.
I took the morning after pill in the recommended time frame and my twins will be 10 this year👍🏾
Which time frame do mean? The "x hours after intercourse" timeframe, or the specific window during your cycle?
Because this pill can only work before you start to ovulate. If you take it before the egg started descending, it will delay the descend by a few days, but if it already started descending, then it's too late and there's nothing the pill can do😅
Anyways congrats on your surprise babies! :)
Sounds like it all worked out anyways and you love them very much😊
If u take it while ovulating, it usually doesn't work
@@Artemis_-yy1nt yes, you have to take it ASAP just in case you're gonna ovulate THAT DAY cause everyone doesn't ovulate at a specific hr after sex. I think the recommended time frame is really misleading, it should just say ASAP.
@@dian277 Of course you have to take it asap, I never said anything anything else😂 I think the time frame is just there to say it's still possible even 24h later. But yeah, as fast as possible.
You don't have to explain that to me ;)
Sometimes God says, nah, too much you can't see yet with why this is for your greater good, not gonna let you make that mistake
Thank you!♥️ If I had a dollar for every time I had to explain this to grown-ass people🤷♀️🤦♀️ And the media should be fined every time they mislabel it the "abortion pill". Maybe then, they would stop spreading misinformation!
I had to explain this to my parents multiple different ways. I think they’ve got it now though.
My parents said birth control is basically abortion, and that pissed me off soooo bad
So ovulating without having youtube_does_not_like_that_word is abortion too because the -unfertilized egg cell- poor "baby" goes unfertilised = wasted.....oh wow.
I completely understand your p'd.
Actually this kind of 'christian'-founded fundamentalism is pretty scary as they try to turn back the wheel of times to ages that almost seemed to be finally over. Frustrating.
My state pretty much banned abortion, but not the morning after pill. They banned the abortion pill and everyone started screaming they banned the morning after pill not realizing there is a difference.
Don't give your state's senators ideas...
I didn't get a positive home test until after 8-10 weeks along
Right?! Same here, it took me a few weeks to find out and I was certain I was.
By that logic you don’t have cancer until it’s diagnosed lol
Pregnancy test =/= pissing on a stick at home. Doctors discussing pregnancy tests are talking about a urinalysis or hCG blood quantum (most accurate test).
And...?
@@purpleunicorn87 and that is completely irrelevant because if she cannot possibly have a pregnancy test come up positive until 8 to 10 weeks in then a six-week ban is in place before she could have possibly known she was pregnant
@@UlexiteTVStoneLexiteYep. I don't think most people realize that on the day of your missed period, you're already considered 4 weeks pregnant since due dates are calculated by the date of your last period.
Unfortunately for the women in this country our only means on not becoming pregnant is choose our partners wisely and either use protection or get on birth control and monitor your cycles. Please protect yourself because abortion options are no longer as easy as they once were
Every female creature in nature has to carefully select its mate wisely. We are no different. It's a natural instinct to further the species. Males, by natural instinct, will usually just want to get it on. Just because we've progressed into society, it's still there subconsciously, almost like a hidden trauma in the back of your mind that you can't fully understand becsuse of the time that has passed.
Yay, someone actually bringing up personal responsibility! Now you are finally getting it!
@@pattifrye438it’s not about responsibility. It’s about forcing women to get pregnant. A man would not have to worry about the “responsibility” that comes with having sex. These laws specifically target people who are FEMALE. That is sexist. You can’t expect women to be more “responsible” bc of the way they were born. Sex is supposed to be pleasurable and safe, these laws take that right away from women.
I witnessed an interesting exchange in an Oregon border town. A young woman was purchasing Plan B at a Rite Aid store. The woman behind the counter asked her for ID. The young woman replied, “it’s not required in Oregon, and I know it’s against Ride Aid store policy for employees to harass customers purchasing Plan B or its generic equivalent. May I speak to your manager?” Reverse Karen. Who knew Karens aren’t all evil?

Pregnancy prevention is the first line of defense against abortion. Women should have free access to birth control and the morning after pill.
Politicians need to keep their legislation and their bigoted views out of the relationship between a patient and their medical provider!

I have no issue with that because not every fertilized egg implants for various reasons naturally.

thank you for providing actual medical facts. so many politicians making terrible decisions based on what they think are facts, but are often totally incorrect assumptions or more likely plain old ignorance.
I was so scared using the morning after pill around 9 years ago. I thought I was just gonna start bleeding. I searched online at that time and the information was so mixed.
bleeding yes, but through your usual monthly cycle
I can completely confirm this. I wasn't on birth control because my boyfriend was staying 400 miles away for 6 months for his work. I stopped taking birth control because it was $110 every 3 weeks and that was a lot to spend when no action was taking place. He made a one day trip and I decided to take the morning pill the next morning because the condom broke. Needless to say I have a wonderful 9 yo that is the light of my life ❤

Thank you for educating people! So many people do not understand this.
These people really dont understand how much worse our society will get without contraceptives or abortion.
There’s a reason that you have to wait to take a pregnancy test. The test needs the woman to build up the hCG to test positive. This in no way translates to “you’re not pregnant until you can have a positive pregnancy test.”
Exactly. That was a stupid statement to make.
I agree. Pregnancy is when the egg is fertilized isn’t it; not when you can test for it!
Thank you. Was coming here to say that.
Exactly. That's like saying the baby isn't a boy until we we see his penis on the ultrasound. No....he's been a boy since his conception, you just didn't know it yet.
@Zooballoo14 if that was so, then most women had a miscarriage in their lifetime. Many fertilized do not attach to the lining and will just be part of a period. It's not considered a pregnancy
Some people (i.e. some Christians) believe that if you shouldn't have premarital sex and that if that could cause you to get pregnant then it's a sin (or abortion) for you to stop that pregnancy from happening.
Obviously not scientific in any way, but I think it's the kind of logic we are dealing with when we talk about anti-abortion laws that are proposed and supported by Christian activist.
Learned something new. Thank you
“It doesn’t stop implantation” no wonder it don’t be workin sometimes….😭😭💔💔
Are we just not gonna talk about the fact that it takes a couple weeks for HCG levels to rise high enough to be picked up by pregnancy tests therefore you can be pregnant before being diagnosed because its still within the first week or two of fetal development????
She said "diagnosABLE" and not "diagnosed".
A pregnancy begins with implantation of the fertilized egg cell. And from shortly before this happens pregnancy tests (the more accurate ones done in a lab) start to give positive results (because of rising levels of the hormone hCG that is needed for implantation).
So she's right.
Thanks for all the info you share.
A little bit off topic… The stars / snowflakes in your eyes look cool. 🤩
It's her lighting rig reflecting in her eyes, but I agree
@@emilymulcahy thank you
@@gimygaming8655 I didn't do anything, but you are welcome 😁
“If you test too early, a test may not pick up enough hCG to turn positive. If you're testing before the day of your expected period, you may see a negative result - even if you're pregnant - if: Your test wasn't sensitive enough for early testing.” -Clearblue
Essentially, you can be pregnant and have a negative test because your body hasn’t produced enough of hCG- which is detected on a pregnancy test.
THANK YOU!!!
Just because your test can’t detect pregnancy yet doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
I am confused by the logic "You cannot be pregnant until you can pass a pregnancy test" maybe I've misunderstood, but don't those tests show you you've been pregnant?
I think what she means is (hypothetically) you could have unprotected sex and make a pregnancy test every day, but it comes back negative for 7 days. So if the test is always negative for a week would you say you're pregnant? You take the test one more day and now it's positive. That's because you're not pregnant the moment you have unprotected sex. It can take a while until you ovulate and the sperm does its thing (and sperm can linger for a couple of days inside you). Until that happens you're in fact not pregnant.
I’d really like to know more about how it all works; I’m embarrassed to admit it’s still very confusing to me, even though it’s my own body. 😅
It's an unending fountain of information. I thought i was pretty well informed on my reprodctive health until I started having fertility issues. While trying to figure out why, I learned a whole new boss level of information.
And I gave up trying a lot sooner than a lot of women. Im sure I would have unlocked whole new volumes if I'd tried something like IVF.
Learning your cycles is very empowering and reduces confusion. “Fertility awareness” is a great topic to search. Your body gives out signals (temp, wetness, cervical changes) where you are, which is really helpful, even for people who do not have “typical” 28 day cycles.
I love that the light make little star reflections in your eyes!!
You aren't pregnant until you take a pregnancy test, but once you test positive, you're 4 weeks pregnant even though fertilization was only 2 weeks ago. Crazy.
This is so important to get this information out there. It is actually terrifying how many people don’t actually know what Plan B is and think it’s the same as the abortion pill
Im not a health professional of anything, but in general, my understanding is that because you cannot "diagnose" something it doesnt mean is not there. So im not sure how logical it is to say that its not a pregnancy if it cannot get diagnosed.
Yasss MdJ comin out here with the FACTS
More like lies.... the warning is on the box itself. It can cause the fertilized egg to not attach to the uterus
PREACH!
I think the reason some still have problems with it is that even if you can’t medically tell that fertilization/conception has happened yet, it doesn’t change the fact that it either has or hasn’t happened yet. If you consider conception the start of life, it’s better not to chance that.
“Ya can’t get rid of a pregnancy that never existed”
I'm prolife and pro morning after pill. It's common sense
I am also Prolife. I don't like the MAP, and do not endorse it; however, I agree that this would be far preferable to risking an unwanted pregnancy that might be terminated later when the risks are far greater to the mother.
My mom used to take Plan B 2 weeks before her vacation so she wouldnt have to worry about having her period while on vacation
Thank u angel to hell with the anti abortion movement
Thanks Mama Doctor Jones!
Yup - the biggest yikes I had was learning that I may have already ovulated so the pill might not prevent anything.
You videos are important for people to hear....i started to get into a debate with someone about abortion and i stopped mid sentence and said "do you know ANYTHING about womens health?"
Your channel is SO SO important for spreading info and reducing stigma around reproductive health, we stan
I am unsure where from these kind of uneducated question come. Kudos to you having patience to explain to whoever. This is elementary/secondary school knowledge in Europe.
Sad thing is they don't care about facts
Education is key.
Don’t take away my contraception. Women need that shit.
"Until you can have a pregnancy test... You cannot be pregnant". ... Should probably rephrase that.
You're missing a word there bud 'positive' pregnancy test.
@@Quell1964Still NOT true.
"Until you can have a positive pregnancy test"... if you have a negative pregnancy test, you're not pregnant. Now, you could BECOME pregnant later. Ovulation could happen, fertilization could happen, implantation could happen... but until those things happen, your hormones change to accommodate, and you have a positive pregnancy test, you're not yet pregnant.
I agree that the phrase would work better without the word "can"; it implies that people who cannot get the test are not considered to be pregnant... which is a legal conundrum.
If a woman cannot get a pregnancy test (say, she's being held prisoner, is in a cult that doesn't allow medical care, or lives in a country without easy access to reproductive health care) and a man punches her in the gut, causing her to lose the embryo she didn't know was in there, and she doesn't realize the sudden bleeding is a miscarriage, she assumes it's just her cycle, is the man guilty of murdering her unborn baby? That's a Mosaic Law issue and a question for theologians.
@@rhov-anion WRONG. A biological woman can be pregnant and test negative. The mental gymnastics going on here is mild blowing.
Somebody needs to tell this to my brother (hardcore Christian, youth pastor) who said that condoms and birth control are abortion
Give me his number. I’ll ring him up and we can set him straight.
Are women serial killers for having periods then 🤦♀️
Somebody should possibly explain to him that by his own definition, a man masturbating is abortion..
I have a absolutely groundbreaking idea that I’m sure no body else has totally also thought of; we should make the morning after pills much cheaper than what they are, therefore making it so people will buy them more, THEREFORE increasing sales and profits for the companies without any advertising or other expenses. It’s a win-win-win-win situation
You are not pregnant until it’s diagnosed???? Oh really
What she more means is it usually takes around I think 24-48 hours for the sperm to even reach the egg or the egg to fully fertilize
Aka why it's called the morning after pill meaning take it as soon as you can if you aren't on any other birth control.
But if you are already pregnant then the pill will not work.
📣📣📣📣📣 LOUDER FOR THE CHEAP SEATS!!!! 📣📣📣📣📣
THANK YOU!!!!! I’ve been preaching this FOR OVER A DECADE!!!!!!!
I was going to take a morning after pill but decided I ll be fine needless to say I was pregnant if I would've taken the pill I would've never known life was starting in my womb . I am happy I didn't take the pill my son is one of the best thing on my life
There's no life happening when the morning after pill is functional.
Health class should be mandatory it’s actually ridiculous people don’t know this
the fact this needs to be explained to fully grown adults is astounding.
You absolutely can be pregnant and are pregnant before the test is positive if the test can only test positive after the 10 day mark. Which would make you pregnant before a pregnancy test diagnosis
I can't believe even Black Mirror got this one wrong!
Does that mean that a disease doesn't exist if it isn't diagnosed? 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
I find it sad that women/people don’t know everything said in this video already.
Please everyone, teach yourself basic birth control info.
I believe it takes 1-2 weeks to get a positive result back. I could easily be wrong, it’s been a month or so since we learned about this is class.
Depends on the test. If it's been two weeks since intercourse that's hardly a "morning after" situation.
@@suzyinstitches273 most tests don't work until 2 weeks after ovulation.
@@lenakohl2339 - True but if you have unprotected sex you could get pregnant so the best course of action to prevent this is to take the morning after pill as soon as possible after the unprotected sex. It's also called emergency contraception. I think women should be able to keep these on hand to have just in case. A couple could use a condom but then the condom fail & in that case the MA pill would be beneficial.
@@lenakohl2339 you have early tests. I testet positive after 9 days. The implantation can take place between day 5 and day 12 after ovulation) after this you need a couple of days to have enough hcg hormoon to test positive. It can be as early as 8 days after ovulation. But this is more rare.
Blood tests are extremely accurate, pissing on a stick isn’t the only way they test
I once had a condom break, likely the day of or before ovulation. Took the morning-after pill the following day. Two weeks later when period was due, I had a positive pregnancy test. Two weeks after that, at around 6 weeks pregnant, after bleeding and clots, I had blood tests and it was deemed a chemical pregnancy by my OB/GYN. What an emotional rollercoaster that was! I do think the pill was the cause.
The pill cant cause a chemical pregnancy. It doesnt affect an already haopening pregnancy. It's not some magical abortion pill or something.
So you're only pregnant once you find out you're pregnant? When does pregnancy begin then?
It takes about six days to 18 days the latest for a fertilized egg to implant into the uterine lining. So if you have unprotected segs, and take a pill the very next day, within 24 hours, you aren’t “ending” anything, you’re preventing ovulation, so no egg is even being released to be fertilized and implanted. A pregnancy is considered to be established after implantation.
you’re only pregnant when it is able to be shown up as pregnant on the test. btw home piss tests aren’t the only pregnancy tests in the world. blood tests at labs or hospitals are much more accurate and earlier and detecting them
Yes girl💃🏽
It also won’t prevent pregnancy if you have already ovulated just before taking it
Yeah, while true, American hysterical kneejerk politics doesn't CARE if something is true, only if it FEELS true.
Women do not have to provide justification or ask permission. CHOICE is our right according to our OWN beliefs not YOURS
You absolutely are pregnant before a test comes up positive. It can take a week or two after implantstion for hormone levels to rise enough to be detected on a standard home test. Also, sometimes ovulation has already happened when you have sex - you can get pregnant a day or so after ovulation.
You van obly get pregnant within 24 hrs of ovulation, implantation occurs 7 to 12 days after conception and by then the hormones are often high enough for pregnancy test detection.. also the morning after pill is a high dose of progesterone (do you know what that hormone is for 😂) to prevent ovulation if it has not yet occurred which is why its only 85% effective because sometimes ovulation has already occurred
