Why New Year's Eve? New Year's Eve is not a good night for birth control use. Condoms break. Pills are forgotten. In fact, sales of emergency contraception more than double in the days after December 31st, according to January 2009 statistics provided by Teva Pharmaceuticals, makers of Plan B One Step ® (the one-pill version of emergency contraception). What is emergency contraception? Make a birth control plan before New Year's Eve. But if that goes wrong, as things can, know that you have a back-up option with emergency contraception. Emergency contraception is birth control that prevents pregnancy after sex. It is not the abortion pill. It's available at the pharmacy counter without a prescription for women 17 and older, even in just one pill. If you are under 17, you'll need a doctor's prescription. For more information click here.
