Emerg. contraception: A laxative will make no difference. If you had sex during your fertile period (especially the middle part of your cycle, i.e. about half way between periods), immediately contact your doctor, Planned Parenthood, or pharmacy about emergency contraception ("Plan B", etc). And please get on proper birth control, and also use condoms to prevent both pregnancy and STDs. Good luck!

Pregnancy: Laxatives wont prevent pregnancy . You need to consider postcoital contraception and Sexually transmitted disease . You can get post coital contraceptive from pharmacy, family planning , Sexual health clinic or family doctor .
