I'd unprotected sex 8 days prior to my period& emergency pills are out of stock.i started drinking cinnamon& oranges &loads of caffeine can that help?

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

No: Eating those foods and drinking caffeine will not change the outcome. After 8 days emergency contraception will not help either. You will need to wait and see if you miss your period. If you do then check a pregnancy test.
