"the 'Morning After Pill' is essentially a doubled-up dose of regular birth control hormones"

That is interesting. I had a girl friend in college that told me about doubling her regular birth control dose if she forgot to take it one day. Kind of chuckled at her at the time because it sounded kind of far fetched. Ooops. Hope she forgives me.

<<'Morning After Pill' is essentially a doubled-up dose of regular birth control hormones... and is *not* RU486.>>

Right, the double hormone dose keeps the egg from attaching to the uterine wall. RU486 will actually dislodge an implanted egg. It requires two trips to the doctor.
