Unlikely, but...: Emergency contraception (EC) is used after unprotected sex, to lower the chance of pregnancy by 70%. EC is a higher dose of birth control pill hormone. Irregular bleeding or spotting is a side effect. Nausea, abdominal pain or cramping, and fatigue may occur. One should do a home urine pregnancy test 3 weeks after sex to check for pregnancy. Plan B or other EC pills work well, but not every time.
