I appreciate your "condom message" and it's very informative, but I think you missed my point. That pill is NOT 100% - trust me. If I could be one of those two women out of a hundred for which the MAP fails (and I took my correct dosage - all four pills, in the correct sequence, well within the recommended time limit, under clinical supervision), so could someone else. As a matter of fact, I was a bit of a medical spectacle at my clinic. In MY emergency, it was useless. I'd hate to see another woman go through what I did. Sometimes, I think it's over-hyped as the "ultimate cure-all pill". It's effective most of the time - but not ALL OF THE TIME. It can fail. That's my VERY proven and VERY true point.
