25. What is it?
Emergency contraception (EC) is a safe and effective way to prevent pregnancy after unprotected intercourse. It can be started up to five days (120 hours) after unprotected intercourse.

26. How does it work?
The hormones in the morning after pill work by keeping a woman's ovaries from releasing eggs — ovulation. Pregnancy cannot happen if there is no egg to join with sperm. The hormones in the morning after pill also prevent pregnancy by thickening a woman's cervical mucus. The mucus blocks sperm and keeps it from joining with an egg.

27. How do I take it? Taken within a 72 hour period it is 89% effective
If taken after 72 hours it is 75% effective
Can be taken up to 5 days after intercourse but is more effective if taken
Plan B can be taken in one dose or two doses. If you take it in two doses, take the second pill 12 hours after the first pill. Or simply take them both at the same time. It's your choice.
When you take birth control pills as emergency contraception, you must take the pills in two doses, 12 hours apart. The number of pills in each dose depends on the brand of the pill. You must use the same brand of pill for each dose.

28. When should I use it?
The condom broke or slipped off, and he ejaculated in your vagina.
You forgot to take your birth control pills, insert your ring, or apply your patch.
Your diaphragm or cap slipped out of place, and he ejaculated inside your vagina.
