KW. is an 18-year-old woman who comes to Planned Parenthood for a pregnancy test because a condom broke during intercourse the night before. Her last menstrual period (LMP) was 13 days ago and was normal. She always has a monthly menstrual cycle. She is extremely nervous about pregnancy because she is beginning college on a scholarship soon. She states there have been no other acts of unprotected intercourse since her LMP. She did take oral contraceptives briefly in the past but discontinued use because of weight gain and mood swings. There are three emergency contraceptive (EC) options: Plan B and ELLA, contraceptive pills containing estrogen and progesterone, and the copper intrauterine device (IUD).
