As part of our reproductive justice advocacy, the Women’s Center & LGBTQ+ Services distributes free levonorgestrel emergency contraceptive pills (i.e. Plan B, Julie, My Choice, My Way, EContra).

Emergency contraception (EC) works by temporarily stopping the ovary from releasing an egg. EC can reduce the chance of pregnancy if taken within 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected sex or birth control failure. It works best the sooner it is taken. EC is most effective when used prior to ovulation (before an egg is released from the ovary).

EC pills are available by visiting C-220 during the Center’s posted open hours.
