First I pill like drugs are emergency contraception means no question of using before as then it is not emergency. It prevents pregnancy in most of the cases except occasional failure. As emergency within 72 hours of intercourse. For future learn about temporary family planning methods- There are many temporary family planning methods like oral pills, inject-able hormones, Intra uterine devices, condoms, diaphragms, safe period, coitus interrupts etc. You must know about success and failure rates of all as well as advantages and dis-advantages of all to decide which suits you the best. May be consult Gynaecologist as a couple.
