Facts And Information About Emergency Contraception
If you have had unprotected sex, that is, sexual intercourse without using contraception, or when you think your contraception might have failed, you can use emergency contraception. There are two methods of emergency contraception:
|
·
|
hormonal emergency contraception, known as the emergency contraceptive pill, and
|
|
·
|
the copper IUD. The IUD is the most effective.
|
If you act quickly, emergency contraception will usually prevent pregnancy.
The morning after pill is a prescription drug used to reduce the risk of pregnancy after an act of unprotected intercourse. Also known as emergency contraceptive pills, they offer no protection against sexually transmitted diseases, and cannot be used to end a pregnancy. These drugs are only used as a preventative measure against pregnancy.
A form of emergency contraception, the morning after pill may be used to prevent pregnancy after:
|
·
|
Intercourse in which no contraception was used
|
|
·
|
Intercourse in which contraception failed (e.g., the condom broke)
|
|
·
|
Intercourse in which contraception was used incorrectly (e.g., birth control pills were not taken)
|
Although emergency contraceptive pills are referred to as “the morning after pill,” the drug is never taken as a single pill. Instead, multiple pills are taken in two doses. The first dose may be taken up to 72 hours (3 days) after the act of unprotected intercourse, and the second dose should be taken 12 hours after the initial dose.
The emergency contraception pills contain high doses of estrogen and progestin (a synthetic form of progesterone), hormones that are also found in birth control pills. Some brands of emergency contraception pill contain both hormones, others contain only progestin. The hormones work to lower the risk of pregnancy by preventing:
|
·
|
Ovulation (the release of an egg by an ovary) |
|
·
|
Fertilization (the penetration of an egg by sperm) |
|
·
|
Implantation (the embedding of a fertilized egg into the lining of the uterus) |
The hormones are usually successful in preventing pregnancy when taken after unprotected sexual intercourse because conception rarely occurs immediately. Instead, it occurs after ovulation, which may take place several days after the act of unprotected sexual intercourse.
Morning after pills are not the same as the “abortion pill.” Morning after pills prevent pregnancy by interfering with the conception process. The abortion pill, or medical abortion, is taken after a woman is pregnant. It induces a miscarriage by preventing the placenta from developing and expelling the egg from the uterus.

Emergency contraceptive morning after pills containing a combination of estrogen and progestin are approximately 75 percent effective in preventing pregnancy.
|
|
·
|
Pills that only contain progestin are approximately 89 percent effective. As well as being more effective, progestin–only pills also cause fewer side effects.
|
|

|
Common side effects of the morning after pill include nausea and vomiting.

Taking the morning after pill may be risky for women with certain medical conditions, including a history of breast cancer or blood clots. For women with these conditions, an intrauterine device (IUD) may be used as an alternative method of emergency contraception. The device, which is inserted into the uterus by a physician, is also a good alternative for women who have waited longer than 72 hours to seek emergency contraception. When inserted up to seven days after intercourse, the device decreases the possibility of successful fertilization.
Emergency contraceptive pills are not intended to be used as a woman’s regular form of contraception. However, in emergency situations they can be effectively used to prevent pregnancy. In most states the pills are only available by prescription.
Plan B Morning After Pill : The Plan B Emergency Contraception Kit consists of just two pills -- the first to be taken within 72 hours after intercourse and the next to be taken 12 hours after the first. The Plan B Emergency Contraception Kit is 89 percent effective, and studies show that it causes less nausea and vomiting than Preven.
Preven Emergency Contraception Kit : The Preven Emergency Contraception Kit contains a pregnancy test, patient information, and four light-blue pills. The Preven pregnancy test is performed before the Preven Emergency Contraception pills are taken to make sure the woman isn't pregnant already, in which case the pills will be ineffective. The most common side effects of Preven Emergency Contraception Kit are nausea and vomiting; these can be treated with anti-nausea medications. The Preven Emergency Contraception Kit follows the traditional pill-combination method and is 75 percent effective.
Both Preven and Plan B Emergency Contraception Kits can be initiated for up to three days after unprotected sex, but women seeking morning after contraception pills are encouraged to take emergency contraception pills as early as possible. With all emergency contraception pills, the effectiveness declines significantly as time passes. Plan B's effectiveness was shown to shoot up to 95 percent when the first dose was taken in the initial 24 hours after intercourse.
