- The emergency contraceptive pill is only effective if taken before ovulation.
- This does not prevent pregnancy for the rest of the same menstrual cycle, so other contraception is still needed
- If emergency contraception is needed after ovulation, then the copper IUD is the only option (coil). The same copper IUD can be left in as long-term contraception or can be removed by a medical professional
- Working out the date of ovulation can feel complicated. Sexual health services can help
- A person should take a pregnancy test 3 weeks after unprotected sex, even if they took emergency contraception
