If you don't have access to EC, you can sometimes use regular oral contraceptives as EC. But there are three important things to remember: 1) Only some contraceptives work as EC (so confirm they work as EC first) 2) Different oral contraceptives require different dosages to work as EC (so get the proper instructions) and 3) you must only use the first 21 pills in 28-day packs. | '''Important Notes:''' The earlier you take emergency contraception, the more effectively it works.
