Emergency contraception is a safe and effective way to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. It works primarily by delaying ovulation, which stops your body from releasing an egg so sperm can’t fertilize it. Some options may also prevent fertilization or make it harder for a fertilized egg to implant. It’s not the same as an abortion pill and won’t affect an existing pregnancy.
The sooner you take emergency contraception, the more effective it is at preventing pregnancy. Plan B works best within 72 hours (3 days), while Ella can be taken up to 5 days after sex and remains consistently effective throughout that window. A copper IUD is also an option within 5 days and is the most effective method overall. Acting quickly gives you the best chance of avoiding pregnancy.
No, emergency contraception is not the same as abortion. It works by preventing pregnancy before it happens, typically by delaying ovulation so that an egg is not released. It does not affect an existing pregnancy and will not work if you are already pregnant. Emergency contraception is a preventive measure, not a termination method.
