Quick Fact Check
Q1 - How does the morning-after pill function?
A1 - The emergency birth control method prevents ovulation by temporarily restricting ovaries from releasing eggs, i.e. ovulation. Ovulation facilitates fetal development by ensuring egg availability along with sperm presence in the uterus. Because of the absence of eggs, sperm cannot fertilize the eggs and hence, prevents pregnancy.
Q2 - Can you take emergency contraception daily?
A2 - According to Dr Anuradha Panda, taking emergency contraceptives as a part of your daily birth control method is harmful. These pills contain levonorgestrel which can cause hormonal imbalance if taken as part of the routine contraception method.
Q3 - Does I-pill work after unprotected sex?
A3 - I-pill is an effective birth control method If taken within 24 to 72 hours after intercourse. It's also important to consider if the contraception method is used before ovulation has occurred in the menstrual cycle. Keep in mind that all birth control methods are not 100% effective, and even I-pill's efficiency rate lies within 90-95%.
