Do I need plan B pill at age 46

[Anonymous]

OK, I've seen the Seinfeld episode... but is the "sponge" really no longer made? Any idea why? Is there something very similar to the sponge? I am old and have been out of the loop for a long time. But I am just curious, and maybe this info could help someone on this thread.

I don’t get this study, it is recommending women aged 49+ not to use birth control and to have abortion if pregnant? Why?

That study was published 40 years ago. I would look for newer information.

Not a lot of things changed about anatomy in the last 40 years.

It says that you're relatively safe after 49 withoutbirth control, but not 100%, hence why there were some spontaneous pregnancies until 51 y/o.

Actually, nothing in the body has changed in the last 40 years.
