Asked by Female, 30 · 9 days ago
If you had unprotected sex and want to prevent pregnancy, you can take an emergency pill, levonorgestrel within 72 hours (3 days) or ulipristal within 120 hours (5 days). Ulipristal is more effective if more than 72 hours have already passed. A copper IUD can also be placed within 5 days and is the most effective option. These methods prevent pregnancy but will not end an existing one. If you think you might already be pregnant, it’s best to see a doctor first, who can guide you safely after the proper tests.

If you want to prevent pregnancy after unprotected intercourse, emergency contraceptive pills are commonly used.
🩺 Emergency Contraception Options
- Levonorgestrel-based pills are widely used as emergency contraception and should be taken as soon as possible, ideally within 72 hours after intercourse.
- Another option is Ulipristal acetate, which can be effective up to 120 hours (5 days) after intercourse but requires a prescription.
- The Unwanted-21 Days Tablet is a hormonal contraceptive containing Ethinyloestradiol and Levonorgestrel, but it is primarily for regular contraception, not emergency use.
🏥 What You Should Do Now
- Obtain an emergency contraceptive pill from a pharmacy promptly.
- Follow the instructions carefully for timing and dosage.
- Consult a gynecologist or family planning specialist to discuss the best option for you and to get a prescription if needed.
⚠️ When to Seek Immediate Help
- If you experience severe abdominal pain, heavy bleeding, or allergic reactions after taking any contraceptive.
- If you have any contraindications like liver disease, history of blood clots, or hormone-sensitive cancers.
Emergency contraception is safe and effective when used correctly, but it is not a substitute for regular contraception. Please consult a gynecologist for personalized advice and to discuss ongoing contraceptive options.
