What Is Emergency Birth Control?

Emergency contraception helps prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure (e.g., missed pill, broken condom). It works best when taken as soon as possible, ideally within 72 hours, but can be effective up to 5 days depending on the method.


Emergency Contraception Options Available

1. Emergency Contraceptive Pills (Morning-After Pills)

  • Levonorgestrel Pills (e.g., Postinor): Most effective when taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex.
  • Ulipristal Acetate (e.g., Ella): Can be taken up to 120 hours (5 days) and is more effective closer to ovulation.
  • Pills work by delaying ovulation and preventing fertilization.

2. Copper IUD (as Emergency Contraception)

  • Can be inserted within 5 days of unprotected sex.
  • Most effective form of emergency contraception and provides ongoing birth control for up to 10 years.
  • Requires a clinic visit for insertion.


What to Expect During Your Visit

1. Confidential Consultation
Your doctor will ask about the timing of unprotected sex, your menstrual cycle, and any medications you're taking to determine the best option.

2. Prescription or Procedure

  • Emergency pills may be provided during your visit.
  • If a Copper IUD is preferred, the doctor will schedule a quick insertion procedure.
  • You’ll receive instructions on what to expect, possible side effects, and follow-up care.

3. Counseling and Next Steps

  • We offer guidance on starting regular birth control to prevent future risks.
  • STI testing and general reproductive health evaluations can also be arranged during your visit.


When to Use Emergency Contraception

  • You had unprotected sex or forgot to use birth control
  • Your regular method failed (e.g., condom broke, missed birth control pills)
  • You were forced into unprotected intercourse
  • You’re unsure whether your birth control method was used correctly

Remember: emergency contraception does not terminate an existing pregnancy and is most effective the sooner it is used.
