NO. do not let a doctor tell you to do this, or do it by yourself. it is NOT the same. i wnet to my doctor a couple years ago asking for the morning after pill. she gave me a pack of ortho-novum and told me to take 2, then 2 some hours later, then 2 a few hours later again. after only 4 pills i became violently ill and vomitted like 4 times. i had taken the true morning after pill before this, and had experienced no side effects.
