Emergency contraception is intended for use when a woman who does not want to get pregnant has unprotected sex for some reason, for example, she was raped, a condom broke, or she forgot to take a birth control pill. It is not a good choice for regular contraception because it is less effective than the alternatives and has more intense side effects.
