  First Time with a Condom!
  
  I recall my first time with a condom, I was 16 or so. I went in to buy a package of condoms. There was a beautiful woman behind the counter, and she could see that I was new at it. She handed me the package and asked, if I knew how to wear one.
  
  I honestly answered, "No."
  
  So she unwrapped the package, took one out and slipped over her thumb, She cautioned me to make sure it was on tight and secure. I apparently still looked confused. So she looked all around the store. It was empty.
  
  "Just a minute," she said, and walked to the door, and locked it.
  
  Taking my hand, she led me into the back room, unbuttoned her blouse removed it. She unhooked her bra and laid it aside. "Do these excite you?" she asked.
  
  Well, I was so dumb-struck that all I could do was nod my head. She then said, it was time to slip the condom on. As I was slipping it on, she dropped her skirt, removed her panties and laid down on a desk.
  
  "Well, come on", she said, "We don't have much time."
  
  So I climbed on her. It was so wonderful, that unfortunately, I could no longer hold back and POW, I was done within a few minutes. She looked at me with a frown. "Did you put that condom on?"
  
  I said, "I sure did," and held up my thumb to show her and then she fainted

  Show the world the proof of your research in Ghana. Because the makers of the drug did their research and did not find any fault with multiple use. You are just scaremongering without any truth in your research.

  EllaOne Side Effects
  
  If you have been prescribed EllaOne, read the patient information leaflet supplied with your pill and make sure you understand how and when to take the tablet. The most common side effects of EllaOne are:
  
  headache
  nausea
  abdominal pain
  muscle pain
  back ache
  Side effects occur in less than 10 per cent of women who take EllaOne.
  EllaOne can fail to work if taken in combination with other medications, for example the herbal remedy St.John’s Wort. EllaOne can reduce the effectiveness of your normal birth control pill, so you need to use condoms until your next period begins.
  
  How Can I Lessen The Side-Effects?
  
  If you experience headaches or menstrual cramps after taking a morning after pill, you can use paracetamol, aspirin or similar pain relief drugs to relieve these side effects. Some women find the following tips helpful in reducing the side effect of nausea:
  
  Taking some over-the-counter anti-nausea medication about an hour before taking the morning after pill can help to prevent sickness (this may cause increased drowsiness in some people).
  Taking the morning after pill with food can help prevent stomach problems.
  Drinking milk and eating regular snacks can help with nausea.
  How Does The Morning After Pill Affect My Periods?
  
  It is not uncommon to experience changes to your menstrual cycle after taking the morning after pill. Your next period may be lot heavier or lighter than it normally is. It may also arrive late or early. This is a common side effect caused by the relatively high dose of the hormone progesterone, the active substance in the morning after pill Levonelle. Taking the emergency contraceptive pill three or more days before your usual ovulation date is likely to make your next period come early. Taking the emergency contraceptive pill three or more days after your usual ovulation date is likely to make it come late. Spotting or bleeding between periods is more likely if the pill is taken during the preovulatory phase.
  
  Can The Morning After Pill Lead To An Ectopic Pregnancy?
  
  Anything that interferes with the development of the egg - such as the hormones used in the morning after pill - can increase the risk of an ectopic pregnancy. Emergency contraceptives are not 100% effective. If an egg is fertilised and implants after treatment with a morning after pill, there is a risk that the egg may implant and develop outside the womb (for example in the fallopian tubes). Although this is a rare occurrence, it is important that you seek medical help if you experience persistent abdominal pain following your treatment. Ectopic pregnancies can be dangerous and you may require immediate medical attention.
  
  Are There Any Long-Term Risks To Using The Morning After Pill?
  
  There is currently no evidence that the morning after pill has any long-lasting effects on your health or fertility. Relatively little is known about:
  
  the effect on women aged 16 and under
  the effect when mixed with other drugs
  the effect on women with medical conditions
  the effect on women's ovulation and future fertility
  the effect on foetal growth and development
  the effect of long-term, routine use
  There is no evidence or reason to believe that the morning after pill is detrimental to your health. However, emergency contraceptives should only ever be used in an emergency and never as a regular method of contraception
