Emergency contraception can help reduce the chance of pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure.
Emergency contraception is used after unprotected sex or when contraception may have failed.
It is sometimes called the morning after pill, although emergency contraception does not always need to be taken the next morning. The sooner emergency contraception is used, the better it may work.
A healthcare professional can explain the available options and help you understand which one may be suitable for you.
Emergency contraception may be considered when you had unprotected sex, a condom broke or slipped, you missed or incorrectly used your regular contraceptive method, or your contraceptive method may have failed.
Emergency contraception is intended for use after sex and is not a replacement for regular contraception.
The morning after pill is a form of emergency contraception. It works mainly by delaying or preventing ovulation. It does not end an existing pregnancy.
Your healthcare provider can explain how the medicine should be used, possible side effects and what to do if you have concerns after taking it.
Emergency contraception should be used as soon as possible after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure.
Different emergency contraception options have different time limits. A healthcare professional can advise you about the option that may be appropriate based on when the unprotected sex happened.
Your next period may come earlier or later than expected. Some women may experience temporary side effects.
Speak to a healthcare professional if you have concerns or if your period is significantly delayed.
