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

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.
