The morning-after pill is a type of emergency birth control, also called emergency contraception, used to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or when another birth control method fails. It's a backup option, not intended for regular use.
Here's a breakdown:
- Purpose: To prevent pregnancy after sex.
- How it works: It works by delaying or preventing ovulation.
- Not a primary method: It is not meant to be a couple's main method of birth control.
- When to use: Use it if your regular birth control method didn't work or wasn't used.
