A member asked:
I just had unprotected sex. i took a birth control pill after. i haven't been on birth control for over a month. is the pill affective or no?

Probably not: You may ask a knowledgeable pharmacist or gynecologist about "emergency contraceptive options" available in your community (pills like Plan B, Ella (ulipristal acetate) ...) or a copper IUD like ParaGard. Not all contraceptive pills work. A most effective way to prevent a pregnancy is a "forgettable, long acting reversible contraceptive"(LARC) like a subdermal implant or an IUD. Be safe, use condoms too to remain well
