How can you prevent pregnancy after sex?
Answer:
There are a few strategies for lowering the risk of pregnancy after unprotected sex:
"Plan B" aka the "morning after pill" is an emergency contraceptive.
The morning after pill up to 5 days after. The sooner the better effect. And don't forget the pregnancy test 2 weeks after to see if it worked.
- You can take the levonorgestrel emergency contraceptive pill, such as Plan B, Next Choice, or Postinor. You can take it up to five days after sex. It's not 100% effective, but it does reduce the chance of becoming pregnant.
- You can take Ella. This new option for emergency contraception is more effective than the levonorgestrel pills, particularly in the fourth or fifth day after sex. You can take it as late as five days after sex.
- You can have a Paragard IUD inserted up to five days after sex. This method is highly effective, and also offers ongoing pregnancy protection.
- You can use certain birth control pills as emergency contraception. In many cases, this approach is less effective than the methods listed above, but it may be more readily available. You can take them as late as five days after sex.
