Plan B: Emergency contraception such as Plan B is an option. Its most effective if used within 72 hours but can work for some couples as long as 5 days after intercourse. Best wishes!

That fifth day: Couples who have sex tend to get pregnant (that's how the human species survives). Emergency contraceptive pills are not as reliable by day 5 after sex, but one can ask her doctor today about Ella (ulipristal). Getting an IUD may be more effective, if she is eligible for an IUD. Knowing exactly when her fertile days are may help with decisions (that's possible if she has very regular periods).
