    Question

    How can your body fight off sperm cells? If you think you are pregnant, what should you do to prevent the fertility of the sperm cell?

    Answer

    You can got to a clinic or pharamacy and use the "morning after pill" within 72 hours of the intercourse, otherwise, you will have to wait and see. Once your period is due, you can see a clinic or Planned Parenthood for a pregnancy test and then counseling about your options.
