: Ella, is emergency contraception you take within 48-72 hours after unprotected sex. It contains a high level of hormones that interfere with the implantation of a fertilized embryo. It is very effective if used correctly. It should not be used regularly as the levonorgestrel can have side effects including nausea, abdominal pain, fatigue, headache, irregular bleeding, breast tenderness.
