If you had unprotected sex 8 days ago, emergency contraception pills may no longer be effective
If you are within 5 days of unprotected sex, a copper IUD can be used to prevent pregnancy
If you are already pregnant, there is no safe way to “stop” the pregnancy at home
See a licensed doctor, gynecologist, or family planning clinic as soon as possible
Ask about pregnancy testing and your options based on how many days have passed
Do not take unknown pills, herbs, or home remedies to try to end a pregnancy
If you have severe pain, heavy bleeding, dizziness, or fainting, seek urgent medical care immediately
