A member asked:

What if you have unprotected sex? is there any home remedies to prevent pregnancy afterwards?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: There are no safe and reliable home remedies to prevent pregnancy after intercourse. Best to use the emergency contraceptive pill which is 95% effective if taken within the first 24 hours after sex. Then consider starting a reliable method of contraception until you are ready for a baby. Wish I could be of more help.
