ELLA: If you weigh <200lbs and had unprotected sex w/i past 5 days, call your DR asap for an RX for ELLA, a very safe and effective drug for preventing pregnancy provided it is taken w/i 5 days. Some studies suggest it may be less effective if you weigh >200lbs. Another option is a Paragard IUD inserted w/i 5 days. It is highly effective w/o regard to weight, and provides contraception for up to 10yrs
