Typical disruption: Anyone having intercourse without birth control or condoms may get pregnant. If intercourse was within 72 hours you consider taking plan b. Ella (ulipristal acetate) is another brand that can be used up to 5 days after unprotected intercourse. Plan b is a high dose of birth control to disrupt the hormonal patterns to delay or prevent ovulation. Abnormal bleeding after is common. Check preg test in 10 days.

Emergency: contraceptives can cause menstrual flow changes (spotting, bleeding, early or late period) because of hormonal changes. Take Home pregnancy test if >7 days late for period.
