Emergency contraception (EC) can be used when you have had unprotected sex, sex without using contraception or think that your contraception might have failed.

The medication may stop ovulation ( release of egg), fertilisation of an egg or prevent a fertilised egg from implanting.

There are different types of emergency contraception:

• The emergency intrauterine device ( IUD/COIL)
• The emergency contraceptive pill

The emergency IUD is the most effective emergency contraception. It can be fitted within 5 days of unprotected sex or up to 5 days of your expected ovulation date.

For details on the mode of action, advantages, disadvantages and the procedure – please see our Intra uterine service IUD.

The EHC pills can be effective but not as effective as using other methods regularly. The tablets can be taken up to 5 days (EC control), 120 hours of unprotected sex but take it as soon as possible.
