Women can get a pill for emergency contraception from Sexual Health or Family Planning clinics, their GP or free from certain pharmacies. A pill for emergency contraception can be given up to 72 hours after unprotected sex to reduce your risk of pregnancy. You could also be fitted with an IUD which is far more effective. This is available from Family Planning Clinics. some GU clinics and some GPs. ring Conifer House to find out where and when.

If you need emergency contraception and it happened longer than 72 hours but less than 5 days you will need to attend a Sexual Health/Family planning clinic/ GP  for emergency contraception to reduce your risk of pregnancy. The best method is an emergency IUD. Ring Conifer House on 01482 336336to find out where you can go for an IUD.

Even if it is some time ago since you had unprotected sex or have had more than 1 episode of unprotected sex since your last period it may in some circumstances be possible to fit a intra uterine device ('coil') to reduce your risk of becoming pregnant. If you would consider this you should attend your nearest Family Planning clinic or ring Conifer House on 01482 336336 as soon as possible.
