Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't this pill essentially flood the body with estrogen?

Some super modern steroids' being used these days use estrogen instead of testosterone for muscle growth.

Gonna have some YOKED athletes on GW's campus

I'll offer you the TLDR: no it doesn't work like that

... dude, no. Your username makes this worse.

While I won't claim to be an expert, Plan B pills work by introducing artificial forms of a progesterone in order to simulate your body's response to already being pregnant. This in turn prevents ovulation. Estrogen isn't a part of the equation.

Something that I read recently (that I'll just throw out there in case I need to be corrected by someone with more knowledge on the matter), but that would also mean that Plan B doesn't work if a woman is already ovulating. Which is... mildly frustrating.

I just purchased Plan B and I can confirm the packaging states that it works by preventing ovulation.

Interesting. It still increases estrogen production which is pretty much how all the most modern steroids' currently work

It's more about if you're going to be graphic about female anatomy and sex... you should probably not be ignorant about related topics.

Also, LOL @ citing Encyclopedia Britannica, umbrella terms and all.

Not true, but even if it was, you think being YOKED is parallel in consequence to having a baby??

what's not true? steroids' are using estrogen to spur on muscle growth or morning after pill doesn't increase estrogen production?

and where did I say any of this is a bad thing? As far as I'm concerned steriods should be legal and available for those who want them and those who don't partake in amateur athletics

Stop hoping for a fist fight.

Okay, I'm correcting you, this statement is unequivocally false, and because you are espousing false rhetoric it's worthy of a response for those who CARE about correct information.

  1. Estrogen can result in gaining specifically lean muscle mass, which has also been linked to endurance and joint stabilizing tendons, (medical science has proven females are more suited to sports that maximize these requirements, think gymnastics, rock climbing, yoga etc) but it is not effective for building bulky muscle where testosterone plays a bigger role in the development of those proteins structures. (hence why the heaviest power lifters are all male)
  2. No, the morning after pill works because of a progestin, which is typically levonorgestrel, that prevents ovulation. Estrogen is part of the dosage of the morning after pill, but it's not the active ingredient that prevents pregnancy, the purpose of estrogen in the pill is to balance out the effects of the progestin. It does NOT increase estrogen production.

Yeah I know lets rush to make sure the comment about GW body builders using the morning after pill is quickly corrected to be factual.

LMAO god I love this sub

Could of sworn I saw estrogen + some crazy receptor blockers are how the most modern versions of steroids' work and are better at avoiding detection then the traditional testerone based anabolics.

Ummm, you did say to correct you, so you invited it....your own fault bud. Oh look, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions!

If you find a source, share it, because all medical research is the contrary of your argument.
