Do you have questions about Emergency Contraception (EC)?
Emergency Contraception (EC) is a safe and effective way to prevent pregnancy — even after sex! EC pills contain the same medication as regular birth control pills. There are two basic types of Emergency Contraception, Plan B progestin only pills and High doses of regular oral contraception pills. Use EC if:
Your contraception didn't work
You had unprotected sex
You were forced to have sex
EC helps prevent pregnancy by: Temporarily stopping eggs from being released, stopping fertilization, or stopping a fertilized egg from attaching to the womb. It is best to take EC within 24 hours of having unprotected sex. EC may work up to five days after sex, but it is more effective if it is taken earlier. Don't delay! Over 95% of the women who take EC do not become pregnant. For more information call the Student Health and Psychological Counseling Center (909) 537-5241 and/or find
