Take Action: Take Action emergency contraceptive is the generic form of Plan B emergency contraceptive (EC). Emergency contraceptives can alter menstrual cycle for 1 to 2 cycles. The effectiveness in EC preventing pregnancy depends upon how soon it is taken after unprotected sex. You can check a home pregnancy test 3 weeks after unprotected sex to determine if you are pregnant.
