Emergency contraception, fast and discreet

Emergency contraception can help prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraception failure. It works best the sooner you take it, so it is worth contacting us as soon as you can. We will ask a few private questions, then advise on the most suitable option for you.

There are two main options. An emergency contraception tablet can be taken within 3 days or within 5 days, depending on the type. A copper coil fitted within 5 days is the most effective option, and we can guide you on how to access fitting quickly. We will also explain what to expect next, including when to do a pregnancy test.
