Plan B is currently available over the counter, and you can find coupons for it online for various retailers; some of those coupons require a prescription so check the coupon details carefully. Both of these medications can be ordered online.
Plan B and Afterpill in the 1.5mg tablets are less effective for people over 176 pounds, however it is safe to double the dose, so if you are heavier order two doses. Ella is also effective for heavier people, but requires a prescription.
Emergency contraception is effective for a short period after sex. You need to take Plan B or Afterpill within 72 hours of unprotected sex to prevent pregnancy.
IUDs and birth control implants are effective long-term birth control that does not require your partner to participate in using the birth control or even be aware of it. IUDs are 99% effective and are effective for 3-12 years depending on type. Planned Parenthood can place an IUD for you, and so can many gynecologist's offices, and IUDs are covered under most health insurance plans. Talk to your doctor or gynecologist about how to get an IUD. Birth control implants are 99% effective and are effective for up to 5 years. Like IUDs, you can talk to your doctor or gynecologist, or visit Planned Parenthood, to get an IUD.
The birth control methods listed here are not effective for preventing STIs, they are for pregnancy prevention only.
If you can become pregnant but do not want to be pregnant, now is a good time to consider a long-term birth control option like an IUD or a birth control implant, and to purchase emergency contraception like Plan B or Afterpill to have it onhand in an emergency.
Also! If you don’t wish to have kids in the future (whether to remain childless or if you have kids and are done having them), I highly recommend the bilateral salpingectomy procedure, aka, getting your reproductive tubes removed. It is an extremely effective minor surgery with the most effective rate of pregnancy prevention possible (even more effective than vasectomies). It is usually done laparoscopically, the recovery is quick and pretty painless, and it does not affect your hormones at all. I had this procedure done in December 2020 and I am so glad I did. No regrets.
Speaking of vasectomies: that is also a great birth control method, a very minor procedure with minimal recovery, and it is technically reversible if you decide you want to have kids again one day.
