It's just that -- contraception. Emergency Contraception (EC) is used to prevent pregnancy within 72 hours of having unprotected sex. EC can also be used if:

• You didn't use any birth control
• The condom broke
• You missed 2 or more birth control pills or you started your pack late
• Your diaphragm slipped
• You missed your birth control shot or
• You had sex when you weren't expecting to.
• EC cannot interrupt or disrupt an established pregnancy and shouldn't be confused with mifepristone (RU-486).
• Emergency contraception is also known as the "morning-after pill."
