Someone met me years ago and asked if she could take ampiclox to prevent pregnancies😧
I was shocked, the sperm and eggs are not bacteria that need antibiotics. There are two different things!
I had to start teaching her about contraception
A Thread.

Emergency contraceptives is one way to prevent pregnancies if you happen to not use a condom or miss your regular contraception
The most common one is what we call the morning after pill. This works by delaying the release of eggs from the ovary
So the sperm has nothing to meet

It also works by stopping fertilization, if it has not occurred already.
In some cases, it can be said to prevent implanting in the uterus.

How effective these contraceptives are is dependent on how soon you take the pill. The earlier the better. It should be taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex, within 72 hours for best results.
Even if you use a condom but you think that there was leakage. Take it

But the problem is, if the sperm has already met the egg and fertilization has occurred. This will not interrupt a pregnancy.
If you take it as prescribed, it can reduce the chances of pregnancy by 90%
Some research is showing that it's less effective in Obese women though

You don't have to wait until the next morning to take them.
It is most effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex, do not wait, the earlier the better
Many people say that taking these pills can make a woman infertile. IT IS A BIG FAT LIE!!!!

Urinating after sex will not prevent pregnancies, they might help prevent Urinary tract infections but not STDs

Lucky because they probably took it when they were not ovulating, or had finished ovulating, the life span of an egg is about 24 hours, it dies off and we wait for the next cycle, so any intercourse after then will not likely lead to pregnancy

So if person A takes Krest for instance, after they have ovulated and egg has died, they won't get pregnant and assume that the Krest worked without realizing that there was no egg to fertilize in the first place
