How many times can you take the morning after pill in a month?

Emergency contraception is a birth control method to prevent pregnancy in women. It can be used:

• After a sexual assault or rape
• When a condom breaks or a diaphragm slips out of place
• When a woman forgets to take birth control pills
• When you have sex and do not use any birth control
• When any method of birth control is not used correctly

Emergency contraception most likely prevents pregnancy in the same way as regular birth control pills:

• By preventing or delaying the release of an egg from a woman's ovaries
• By preventing the sperm from fertilizing the egg

The two ways you may receive emergency contraception are by:

• Using pills that contain a man-made (synthetic) form of the hormone progesterone called progestins.

  This is the most common method.

• Having an IUD placed inside the uterus.
