Basically the morning after pill is a larger dose of the regular pill. The effects are the same as the regular pill. It prevents you from ovulating. If you have already ovulated, then the pill will trick your body into thinking that you are already pregnant and will stop any new fertilized eggs from being implanted in the uterus.
Cost will depend on where you live and if your healthcare covers it or not. Here in Canada, I believe they will give for free in the emergency department.

the morning after pill basically prevents an egg attaching itself to your womb lineing. it usually costs around 25 quid but you can get it free from your doctors or if your under 21

Planned parenthood has it...take it within like 72 hours after unprotected sex & it keeps you from getting pregnant usually.

It causes massive hormone changes that will abort any beginnings of a child, whether implanted or not.

A day after pill is basically a double dose of a birth control pill. The massive dose stops the possibility of becoming pregnant.

Unlike one of the answers, it does not abort any child. It has no effect on the fetus if you are already pregnant. It simply prevents you from becoming pregnant by not allowing sperm to implant the egg. It is about 85% effective if taken within 72 hours. You can take it up to 120 hours after unprotected sex, but the effectiveness is much lower than 85% at that time. You can buy it over-the-counter in some states, including Oregon, by simply requesting it at the pharmacy. Plannedparenthood can also give you it, and a doctor can prescribe it. It is usually about 40 dollars, but this also may be dependent on where you live. It does not cause your period, but your period is likely to be altered some. For some women, their periods come early, but for me it caused my period to come a week late, and the following month my cycle was 32 days rather than the regular 28. Hope this helps.

The morning after pill makes you miscarry in like the very first stages of pregnancy.You can get it threw Planned parenthood,any obgyn,or you can ask your family doc.I don't know how much it is???I never took one but my friend has.She got pregnant at 14 and she went to planned parenthood and they gave it to her there.They didn't even parent permission.They still don't know about it!!!!!!!I think it's like a strong birth control,cuz I know if you take birth control pills in early pregnancy you will most likely miscarry.I hope that info helps a little good luck.
