Emergency Contraception (Morning After Pill & IUDs)

Fast, Safe, and Confidential Emergency Birth Control in Prabhadevi – Dadar, Mumbai

Unplanned or unprotected sex can lead to anxiety and confusion, especially when pregnancy is not intended. Emergency contraception offers a safe and effective way to prevent pregnancy after unprotected intercourse or contraceptive failure (such as a broken condom or missed pills).

At Dr. Sangeeta Agrawal’s Clinic in Prabhadevi – Dadar, Mumbai, we offer discreet, timely, and medically sound emergency contraception options, including the Morning After Pill and Copper IUD insertion, along with professional counseling to help you understand what’s right for your situation.


What Is Emergency Contraception?

Emergency contraception is a method used to prevent pregnancy within a few days after unprotected sex. It is not a regular form of birth control but is highly effective when used correctly and on time.

There are two primary types:

  • Emergency Contraceptive Pills (Morning After Pills)
  • Copper Intrauterine Device (IUD)

Both options are available at our clinic with complete privacy and medical supervision.


1. Morning After Pill

Contraceptive Pills

What It Is

A hormone-based pill taken within 72 hours (ideally within 24 hours) after unprotected intercourse to prevent ovulation or fertilization.

How It Works

  • Delays ovulation so that the egg is not released.
  • May prevent fertilization or implantation of the egg.

Types We Provide

  • Levonorgestrel-based pills (available over-the-counter)
  • Ulipristal acetate (by prescription only) for extended effectiveness (up to 5 days)

Effectiveness

  • Most effective when taken within 24 hours (up to 95% efficacy)
  • Effectiveness decreases with time—not recommended after 72-120 hours, depending on the pill

Considerations

  • Not effective if you’re already pregnant
  • Does not protect against STIs
  • May cause temporary side effects like nausea, fatigue, or delayed period

2. Copper IUD for Emergency Contraception

Permanent Contraception

What It Is

A small, hormone-free device inserted into the uterus within 5 days of unprotected sex.

How It Works

  • Prevents sperm from fertilizing the egg
  • May also prevent implantation if fertilization has already occurred

Why Choose IUD for Emergency Contraception?

  • Most effective emergency contraception method (>99% effective)
  • Also provides long-term contraception for up to 10 years
  • Ideal for women who want both emergency protection and ongoing birth control

Considerations

  • Requires a quick in-clinic procedure by a gynecologist
  • Not suitable for women with certain uterine conditions or infections
  • Some women may experience heavier periods initially

When Should You Use Emergency Contraception?

You should consider emergency contraception if:

  • You had unprotected intercourse
  • Your condom broke or slipped
  • You missed your birth control pills for multiple days
  • You were sexually assaulted and do not wish to conceive

Timeliness is crucial. The sooner you act, the more effective the outcome.
