Morning after pills: starting daily birth control pills after unprotected intercourse will probably not prevent pregnancy but depending on the type of pill you may be able to take additional pills for a day or two to reduce the likelihood of conceiving. you may also take pills that are specifically dosed for emergency contraception. you may need a prescription in some places
