Intrauterine device (IUD)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The IUD is the most effective form of emergency contraceptive. If inserted within 5 days of unprotected sex, it can prevent up to 99.9% of unplanned pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also an effective, long-acting reversible contraceptive<\/a> and can be left in for 5 or 10 years depending on which type is used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Emergency contraceptive pill<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The emergency contraceptive pill, also known as the \u2018morning after pill\u2019, can be used to reduce the risk of an unplanned pregnancy. If taken within 5 days of unprotected sex it can be up to 85% effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to protect against future pregnancy, it\u2019s a good idea to use a short-term or long-term method of contraception. Speak to us about finding the right method for you<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
