Emergency Contraception: What to Expect

If you’re thinking about using emergency contraception, you may wonder: What will I feel like afterward?

The pill forms are safe. That’s why you can buy some of them without a prescription. They have the same hormones that are in birth control pills, which people have been using for decades. The copper-T IUD (intrauterine device) is also a very effective, safe way to prevent a pregnancy after sex.
