[Abortion](https://www.agapewomensclinic.org/helpful-advice/tag/abortion) ![Plan B vs. Plan C: What's the Difference?](https://www.agapewomensclinic.org/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Empowering%20Healthcare%20Consultation%20with%20Pregnancy%20Test%20and%20Ultrasound.png) **Plan B. Plan C. The abortion pill.** If you're worried about an unexpected pregnancy, all the names can get confusing fast. But Plan B and Plan C are **two very different medications used at different points.** Here's the simplest difference: - **Plan B is emergency contraception intended to help prevent pregnancy.** - **Plan C is a term commonly used for medication intended to end an existing pregnancy.** > Have questions about abortion or early pregnancy? **[Text our office at (737) 200-2324](sms:+17372002324).**   ## What Is Plan B? **Plan B is emergency contraception.** It's intended to reduce the chance of pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure, such as a broken condom. Plan B contains levonorgestrel, which primarily works by delaying or preventing ovulation. **Plan B does not end an existing pregnancy and is not the abortion pill.** Timing matters. Plan B is labeled for use within **72 hours (3 days)** after unprotected sex.   ## What Is Plan C? **Plan C** is a term commonly used for medication abortion, **also known as the abortion pill.** Unlike Plan B, Plan C is intended to end an existing pregnancy. Medication abortion typically involves two medications: - **Mifepristone**, which blocks progesterone, a hormone needed for a pregnancy to continue. - **Misoprostol**, which causes the uterus to contract and empty. So while the names sound similar, **Plan B helps prevent pregnancy while Plan C ends an existing pregnancy.**   ## Which One Applies to Me? **Timing makes a big difference.** If **your period is late, you've had a positive pregnancy test, or you think you may already be pregnant**, Plan B will not end an existing pregnancy. That's when confirming whether you're pregnant can help you understand what comes next. Agape Women's Clinic offers **[free pregnancy testing](https://www.agapewomensclinic.org/free-pregnancy-tests-north-austin) in Round Rock & Cedar Park**, so you can get an answer without relying on symptoms or timing alone.   ## Considering Plan C? If your pregnancy test is positive and you're considering Plan C or the abortion pill, **there's more you should learn about your specific pregnancy first.** You'll want answers to questions like: - **How far along am I?** - **Where is the pregnancy developing?** - **What abortion information applies to my pregnancy?** These details matter because timing can affect what abortion information may apply to your pregnancy. The abortion pill also **does not treat an ectopic pregnancy**, which develops outside the uterus and can become a medical emergency.   > Agape has a [**free Pre-Abortion Screening**](https://www.agapewomensclinic.org/abortion-north-austin)designed specifically for those considering abortion.
