===What to Get & Where to Get It===
===What to Get & Where to Get It===
'''Note:''' The longest-lasting EC, [http://www.ellaone.com/ ellaOne], is not available in China. However, copper IUDs may also prevent pregnancy up to 5 days after unprotected sex. If none of these options are available, and it's been over 3 days since you had unprotected sex, you can still take EC, which may work up to 5 days. Note that EC pills are not 100% effective and should be taken as soon as possible.


In Chinese, the morning after pill is 避孕药 (pronounced "bìyùn yào"). If you go into a Chinese pharmacy, the pharmacist will probably ask if you want birth control pills for "every day" or "just one time." The "just one time" pills are emergency contraception/morning after pills.
