Suggest Birth Control Measures After Having Unsafe Sex

Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. I understand your concern. The best way to prevent pregnancy due to unprotected intercourse or caused due to accidental tear of condoms is by taking 'emergency contraceptive pill' or 'morning after pill'. These pills are available to be purchased over the counter. You need to take the pill as instructed within 72 hours after the incident. Earlier you take it, the protection seems to be better. Once taken, the pill would prevent pregnancy by causing withdrawal bleeding, similar to your periods, within 3 weeks from the day of consumption of the pill. In case you do not bleed within 3 weeks, you need to seek medical help immediately as the chances of its failure to protect is about 10%. Hope the information provided would be helpful. Best wishes.
