Did you have unprotected sex and do you want to prevent a possible pregnancy? Then you can use emergency contraception. You can take an emergency pill (morning-after pill) or have an emergency coil inserted. The sooner you take action, the more options you have. The most reliable form of emergency contraception is always a copper IUD (Intrauterine Device) because it prevents the (possibly fertilized) egg cell from growing in the uterus. You can have an emergency IUD inserted up to 5 days after unprotected sex. You can contact one of the LUNA centers for an appointment.
A copper IUD is the most reliable form of emergency contraception. The emergency pill delays or prevents ovulation and no longer works if you have already ovulated. A copper IUD prevents the (fertilized) egg cell from growing in the uterus.
An emergency IUD can be inserted up to 5 days after unprotected sex. The chance that you will become pregnant after inserting a copper IUD (within 5 days) is 0.2-1%. Additional advantage: you will then have up to 5 or even 10 years of reliable contraception.
