Emergency Contraception Service - What To Expect?

After unprotected intercourse or if your contraceptive technique has failed, emergency contraception can help prevent pregnancy. For example, a condom may have cracked or you may have forgotten to take a pill.

There are two kinds:

    1. emergency contraception (sometimes called the morning-after pill),

    2. IUD (intrauterine device, or coil) 

There are two types of emergency contraceptive pills. Levonelle must be taken within 72 hours (3 days) following sexual activity. ellaOne must be taken within 120 hours (5 days) after sexual activity. Both medications act by either inhibiting or postponing ovulation (release of an egg). To be successful, emergency contraception should be used as soon as possible.

The IUD can be placed in your uterus up to 5 days after unprotected intercourse or the earliest moment you could have ovulated.

Using emergency contraception immediately after unprotected intercourse can avoid pregnancy. Pregnancies occur in less than 1% of IUD users, although pregnancy following the emergency contraceptive pill is not as uncommon. ellaOne is believed to be more effective than Levonelle.

Levonelle or ellaOne will be more effective if you start taking them right away. Levonelle or ellaOne may cause nausea, dizziness, or fatigue, as well as headache, sensitive breasts, or stomach pain. Levonelle and ellaOne might cause your period to arrive sooner or later than usual.

If you become ill (vomit) within 2 hours of taking Levonelle or 3 hours of using ellaOne, seek medical attention immediately because you will need to take another dosage or have an IUD installed. If you use the IUD as emergency contraception, it can be used as your primary form of contraception.

If you use an IUD as a regular method of contraception, your periods may become longer, heavier, or more painful. After the IUD is placed, you may experience some discomfort; pain relievers can assist. Using emergency contraception has no major adverse effects. Abortion is not caused by emergency contraception.
