Incorrect understanding about how emergency contraception works is everywhere! A study about emergency contraception knowledge found that among people who had heard of EC, nearly one-third mistakenly thought it caused ab0rshun . An analysis of newspaper coverage of EC between 1992 and 2002 found that nearly half (45 percent) of articles confused emergency contraception and ab0rshun pills at least once! Such confusion can deter people from using EC when needed!

No egg, no fertilization, no pregnancy. Taking Plan B now to help prevent pregnancy after unprotected $eggs won’t hurt your ability to get pregnant in the future. You can find Plan B yourself in the family planning aisle. There’s no ID or Rx needed, and no age requirement to purchase. You can take Plan B up to 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected $eggs. The sooner it’s taken after unprotected $eggs, the better it works. The most important factor affecting how well emergency contraception works is how quickly it is taken.
