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."
