What Is A "B Kit"?

 

A "B Kit" is just one option MSU students have to take control of their reproductive health. This kit includes an emergency contraception method. 

Any MSU student can get a B Kit, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, or age! No ID or other information will be asked for. The only requirement is that you are in need of Plan B.

B Kits Include:

  • 1 Dose of Plan B One-Step

  • 1 Fact Sheet

  • 2-3 Other Goodies like Tea or Chocolate!

What Is Plan B and What Should I Know About It?

  • Plan B is a brand of emergency contraception pill that prevents pregnancy before it even starts.
  • Plan B is not an abortion pill and does not work if you are already pregnant. If you accidentally take it while pregnant, it will not harm the fetus. 
  • Continue your normal birth control method after taking Plan B. For example, if you take the monthly birth control pill, you would take the normal dose the day you take Plan B.
  • Plan B is a back-up method of birth control and is not meant for daily or regular use. Regular use will not impact your long-term health.

How Does Plan B Work?

Plan B (and other emergency contraception pills) prevent pregnancy by delaying ovulation with hormones.

Why Can't I Use Plan B as My Main Form of Birth Control?

Plan B is not the most effective of way of preventing pregnancy over time. It is also expensive (averaging about $50/ pill) and has harmless, but annoying side effects like nausea, vomiting, and spotting between periods.
