Medicine
The key is B. It helps in preventing or delaying ovulation. [There are two types of pills:
1. 1.5 mg of levonorgestrel pill. It should be taken within 72 hours (three days). It is thought to work mainly by preventing or delaying the release of an egg from your ovary, which normally happens each month (ovulation).
2. Ulipristal acetate (brand name ellaOne) is a type of emergency contraceptive pill that was launched in the UK in 2009. It is taken as one single tablet. Take the pill as soon as possible after unprotected sex.
The earlier you take the pill, the more effective it is. It can be taken up to 120 hours (five days) after having unprotected sex. It is a type of hormone which seems to work by stopping or delaying release of an egg (ovulation).
IUCD prevent implantation. As she is sexually active hymen is ruptured and IUCD can be given to her. But with IUCD chance of ectopic pregnancy is much more!].
