Also, since there are so many different types of BC on the market, it's a little silly to stop with just two tries. That's like... Walking into a department store to buy shoes, grabbing the first two pairs you see, and if they don't fit, not buying any! Birth Control is every sexually active person's right, and it's their right, as a sexually active person, to make sure they're doing everything they can to NOT get pregnant. It's a lot cheaper to buy pills every month than it is to raise a kid!
