Taking an iPill, which is an emergency contraceptive, is pretty straightforward. It basically works by delaying the release of an egg from your ovary. This prevents pregnancy from happening in the first place. It’s not an abortion pill; it won’t end an existing pregnancy.

As for how you'll feel, it varies. Some people feel a bit off. You might get a headache, feel nauseous, or have some tummy pain. Many people feel nothing at all, though. It can also mess with your next period, making it come earlier or later than usual. It's most effective the sooner you take it after unprotected sex. Definitely have a chat with a pharmacist if you have any worries. They can give you the proper advice.
