What to Do When You Need Emergency Contraception?
Emergency contraception, such as ella or Plan B, is more effective than birth control pills in preventing pregnancy. In addition, you are more likely to have vomiting or nausea after taking these pills. In general, you have to take them within 3 days of having sex. For the second dose, it should be taken after the first 12 hours. If you are worried about vomiting or nausea, consider taking anti-nausea drugs. Depending on the brand, the number of pills to take each dose can vary. It is advisable to consult your healthcare provider before making the final decision. [7]
