If your partner is not taking a long term method of birth control (like pills, shot, patch, etc.), then Plan B would be a good option.
Plan B helps prevent pregnancy by delaying ovulation. It is most effective when taken within 24 hours after unprotected intercourse, but can be effective when taken as long as 120 hours after unprotected sex. It is available over the counter at most pharmacies to women 17 and older. Women under 17 require a prescription. The cost is about $46.
After taking Plan B, your partner may experience some irregular spotting or bleeding until her next period. Her next period may occur a little earlier or later than usual. It may be lighter, heavier or spottier than usual. it should return to normal within a month or two.
If her period is more than 1 week late, perform a pregnancy test, either at home or in a clinic.
