Do you have questions about Emergency Contraception (EC)?

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
