* If you can't access dedicated emergency contraception, you can use regular birth control pills as replacement EC. To do this, you can take Microval (take 50 pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex). You can also take progestin-estrogen combined pills but remember that, in 28-day packs, only the first 21 pills can be used. For all of these pills, you take 4 pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex and take 4 more pills 12 hours later: Microgynon, Minidril and Rigevidon.<ref>[http://ec.princeton.edu/worldwide/ Princeton EC Website]</ref> | * If you can't access dedicated emergency contraception, you can use regular birth control pills as replacement EC.
