WittyUsernameHere is incorrect. Emergency contraception does not force a miscarriage. Abortion pills do that. Emergency contraception is contraception. It prevents egg and sperm from uniting in the first place. It won't work if you are already pregnant. It is far from foolproof either. That makes it sound like it's 100% effective! The only foolproof method is abstinence. Plan B is only about 90% effective. Sure, 90% sounds high, but think of it this way - 1 in 10 women will still become pregnant! So, yes, pregnancy isn't out of the realm of possibility, but it's unlikely that will become so since you did take it within 24 hours. There's more information about Plan B on the website below. Remember too, that even though you are experiencing no side effects now, Plan B can really screw up your cycle. Your next period may come very early or even late. It can make PMS more severe too. So, even if your next period isn't normal, don't start worrying about pregnancy right away. Good luck.

As far as I understand its pretty much foolproof. The morning after pill is like birth control, but its a very concentrated dose of the hormone. You are basically forcing a miscarriage.
In the future, on the same aisle as condoms are these things called VCF. Vaginal Contraceptive Film.
Theyre like flexible thick breath strips. Spermicide. You put one inside you 15 min before sex, it melts, and you have spermicide inside you as a second line of defense. Supposedly it is as effective as a condom without a condom. With a condom its a second line of protection in case the condom breaks.
You should consider birth control too.

As far as I know, as long as you take it within 48 hours of unprotected sex, the morning after pill should work just fine. I've taken it before and I didn't have any side effects either; however, I was also on birth control during the time that I took the m.a.p. (I was quite paranoid lol).
I really don't think you are pregnant, but it wouldn't hurt to take a pregnancy test if your period turns out being late. Keep in mind if you're really stressed out about this, it could delay your period, so try not to worry about it too much.
