What is Emergency Contraception?
If you make a mistake and have unprotected sex, you can still avoid getting pregnant. You must take these pills within 5 days of the incident. The sooner you take it the better it works. You can now get Plan B without a prescription from a pharmacy in the United States. However, it can be expensive. Here are ways you can get inexpensive Plan B. See more information at EarlyAbortionOptions.com
