Now there are many different ways to protect against unwanted pregnancy. But what if the pregnancy is not included in your plans, and the unprotected sexual intercourse nevertheless happened?
Contraception after unprotected intercourse
In this case, you have exactly three days to not get pregnant and avoid abortion. Tablets after unprotected intercourse are also called "next day tablets". These are such drugs as Postinor, Mifepristone, Ginepriston, Norlevo, Tetraginon, Steridil and others. Using tablets after unprotected intercourse, strictly follow the instructions, as non-observance of the rules of taking and dosage can not only not protect you from unwanted pregnancy, but significantly harm your health. After taking such medications, menstruation should come on time. If the men do not come, do not delay the visit to the doctor.
But what to do if the deadline has already expired or are you for some reason unwilling to take pills? There is another way - the introduction of an intrauterine device. It can be introduced even five days after unprotected sex - it will prevent the attachment of the egg to the wall of the uterus. The effectiveness of this method when administered no later than the fifth day after sexual intercourse is 98%, but after this period its use will no longer protect you from pregnancy.
