You Can Prevent Pregnancy After Sex
Emergency contraception, also called "the morning after pill" and sold under the brand name Plan B -- It's emergency birth control!
Sometimes the condom breaks, or you forget to use your regular birth control. If you have unprotected sex or think that your birth control might not be working, you can still prevent pregnancy after sex.
Morning after birth control, or emergency contraception (EC), is composed of a special formulation of the hormones used in regular birth control. It is sold under the brand name Plan B.
You can also use your regular birth control pills as emergency birth control.
Emergency Contraception does not protect against HIV or other sexually transmitted infections. Emergency Contraception can be used up to 72 hours, but the earlier it is used,
the more effective it is at preventing pregnancy.
