This pill works best the sooner you take it. You want to take it within 72 hours of unprotected sex but it can offer some benefit if taken up to 5 days after. You can start ongoing hormonal birth control right away.
Note: You do not need a prescription for this medication. If you think you need it and cannot see us right away, do not delay and talk to a pharmacist!
Copper IUD
This is the most effective form of emergency contraception. It can be placed within 7 days of unprotected sex and will work as a great form of ongoing contraception. Weight does not affect this form of contraception, therefore it is a great option if you're overweight. There are other pros/cons to this option which will be reviewed at your appointment.
