The emergency contraceptive/morning-after pill has three modes of action (as does the regular birth control pill); that is, it can work in one of three ways: the normal menstrual cycle is altered, delaying ovulation; or ovulation is inhibited, meaning the egg will not be released from the ovary; it can irritate the lining of the uterus (endometrium) so as to inhibit implantation. It is for emergency use only as it is associated with side effects.
