The most effective way to prevent unintended pregnancy after sex

The most effective way to prevent unintended pregnancy after sex

There is no best way to prevent pregnancy except abstinence

No matter how it happened, if you've had unprotected sex, you still have up to five days to prevent an unwanted pregnancy.

You might have heard that a girl can't get pregnant by assuming some positions and doing some things. Don't believe the hype.

A girl can get pregnant even if:

• She is having a period
• She does not have an orgasm
• She does not have vaginal intercourse very often
• She has vaginal intercourse standing up
• She urinates right after sex
• She douches right after sex
• A man pulls his penis out of her vagina before he ejaculates
• She jumps up and down after intercourse
• She hasn’t had her first period yet
• She is under 12 years of age
• It is her first time
• The man only touches the outside of her vagina with his penis.

A Few Facts About Emergency Contraception (EC)
You can use EC if you had unprotected sex or if you didn't use regular birth control properly (for example, you forgot some pills or your partner didn't use a condom correctly). EC also can prevent you from getting pregnant after rape.
EC can still work if you take it as late as five days (120 hours) after sex, but it works better the sooner you take it.
EC will not hurt you or affect your ability to get pregnant in the future.
EC will not cause birth defects if you are already pregnant.
EC does not provide any protection against sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV, the virus that causes AIDS (only condoms can help protect against HIV and many other STIs.
EC may cause some unpleasant side effects - like nausea and headaches. These side effects only last a few hours.
Plan B usually costs between $35.00 - $50.00 and less than #1000 in Nigeria, though some Planned Parenthood or local health department clinics may offer it at a reduced rate.
Plan B and other emergency contraceptive pills that contain only the hormone progestin reduce your risk of pregnancy by 89% . This doesn't mean that 11% of women will get pregnant using these pills. It just means that this type of emergency contraception prevents 89% of the pregnancies researchers would expect to happen when women have unprotected sex. Usually, if 100 women have unprotected sex one time during the 2nd or 3rd week of their monthly menstrual cycle, 8 of them will get pregnant. But if those same 100 women use Plan B, only 1 will get pregnant. And if you take these progestin-only emergency contraceptive pills within the first 24 hours after unprotected sex, they reduce your risk of pregnancy by up to 95%. In other words, emergency contraception works better the sooner you take it.
EC can give you a second chance to prevent pregnancy after sex. You can use EC as many times in a month as you need it, but remember, it is not as effective as birth control that's used before or during sex, like the pill or condoms. It also causes more side effects than regular birth control methods. That's why you shouldn't use emergency contraception as your only protection against pregnancy. The good news is that you can choose from dozens of kinds of birth control today.

The most common and effective best control pills will be later discussed
