emergency contraception pills
Emergency contraception
The two types of emergency contraception
- Emergency contraception pills (sometimes called 'morning after' pills). These must be started within 3 days (72 hours) from the time you had unprotected sex. They are very effective if taken within the first 24 hours.
- Emergency IUD (coil), which can be fitted up to 5 days from the time you had sex. Once it has been fitted, you can keep it as a regular method of contraception.
