Advice & Guidance - Pregnancy & Contraception

Women can get a pill for emergency contraception from Sexual Health or Family Planning clinics, their GP or free from certain pharmacies (if under 25). A pill for emergency contraception can be given up to 72 hrs 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.

Common Terms

  • IUD:  Inter uterine device: T-shaped device that is fitted inside the womb to prevent pregnancy
