An Emergency contraception is intended to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure.
Plan B One Step (Morning After Pill)
Plan B is a single pill that contains a large amount of a progestin hormone found in some birth control pills. The Plan B One Step is often referred to as the “morning after pill.” It’s designed to decrease your likelihood of pregnancy after the first day of unprotected sex.
This drug prevents or delays ovulation. It is important to note that ovulation prevention can only occur prior to conception. Depending on where you are in your monthly cycle, conception can occur anywhere from a few minutes up to 5 days after unprotected sex. As a result, Plan B should not be used as a method of abortion. The morning after pill can potentially change your menstral bleeding patern or delay your next period for a week or more. Sometimes this can lead to more anxiety or confusion to wether or not you are pregnant.
Plan B is taken within 72 hours of sex. It work in two ways: preventing the egg and sperm from meeting and /or preventing the embryo from implanting in the uterus, leading to the death of the embryo.

A medical or non-surgical abortion uses the "Abortion Pill" or other chemicals to terminate an early pregnancy. This method of abortion is used up to 70 days after a woman’s last menstrual period. If you are further along in your pregnancy, a medical abortion may be ineffective. Getting a medical abortion may involve up to 2 office visits and may require a surgical procedure if the medical abortion is incomplete.
