Emergency contraception, including the morning after pill, is used to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive failures, such as a condom slipping off. This type of birth control works by delaying ovulation during your menstrual cycle. It’s crucial to take the EC pill as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse for optimal results. Types of Emergency Contraception Pills There are 2 types of emergency birth control pills. Levonelle (Levonorgestrel): Effective if taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex. ellaOne: Remains effective for up to 120 hours (5 days) after unprotected sex, making it a suitable option later in your cycle. Both pills should be taken as soon as possible after the incident. While in-store collection is required, you can order and pick up your emergency birth control pills the same day. We also offer same-day delivery for residents in Dorking, Ewell, and Epsom. If next-day delivery is not possible, we will direct you to a nearby pharmacy. What Are the Side Effects of Emergency Contraception? Common side effects include irregular bleeding, nausea, headaches, and abdominal pain. Understanding Unprotected Sex and Safe Sex Unprotected sex, including instances where contraceptives fail or are not used correctly, carries the risk of pregnancy. Not all birth control methods prevent STIs, so practicing safe sex by using condoms is essential. Safe sex practices involve using condoms to reduce the risk of STIs and unintended pregnancy. Always use a condom even if you are using other forms of contraception.
