Emergency contraception venues
Emergency contraception venues
EHC is often called ‘the morning after pill’ – in fact EHC can be taken up to 72 hours (3 days) after having sex, but the sooner you take it the more effective it is at preventing pregnancy.
Using contraception every time you have sex is the best way to reduce the risk of pregnancy. But sometimes things go wrong – a condom breaks, you forget to take a Pill, or you have sex without using contraception and regret it later.
If this happens acting quickly by sorting out emergency contraception will protect you against the possibility of pregnancy. Help is on hand - if you’re aged between 13 and 25 and you’ve had unprotected sex in the last 72 hours you can get free EHC from a number of chemists and clinics across the district. These are listed below. Opening times vary so it’s best to call before you visit.
Another emergency contraception option - It may also be possible to get a copper intrauterine device (IUD), often known as a coil, fitted up to five days after unprotected sex as an emergency method of contraception.
It’s fitted in your womb by a specially trained doctor or nurse. It can be removed after your next period, or you might decide to keep it fitted and use it as your regular method of contraception.
The copper IUD works by stopping an egg being fertilised or implanting in the womb.
For more information and to book an emergency appointment contact the central CaSH clinic on 01924 327586.
