Taking an emergency contraceptive pill causes a significant hormonal change in the body over a short period of time. Therefore, we recommend avoiding repeated use or taking multiple doses within a short time frame whenever possible. In such cases, we suggest considering other contraceptive options, such as low-dose birth control pills.
With the Yuzpe method using Planovar, taking the medication within 72 hours results in a 97% success rate for preventing pregnancy. For NorLevo, taking it within 72 hours offers a 98.5% success rate. With Ella, taking it within 120 hours (5 days) achieves a 98.7% success rate. In all cases, the sooner the medication is taken, the higher the effectiveness in preventing pregnancy.
The main side effects of the morning-after pill (emergency contraceptive pill) are nausea, vomiting, and headaches. These symptoms usually subside within 24 hours. Compared to a surgical abortion (such as uterine evacuation), the risks associated with anesthesia, physical complications, as well as the financial and emotional burden, are significantly lower.
With the emergency contraceptive pill used at our clinic, the risk of infertility or long-term side effects is extremely low. It can be considered very safe.
With the method used at our clinic, the success rate of emergency contraception (morning-after pill) is over 97%. We recommend taking it within 72 hours after unprotected sex (within 120 hours for ella®). The later you take it, the lower the effectiveness becomes.
The Yuzpe method involves taking one dose within 72 hours (3 days) after contraceptive failure, followed by a second dose 12 hours after the first. Levonorgestrel is taken as a single dose at once. Similarly, ella® is taken once within 120 hours and then no further doses are needed.
Please take the medication as soon as you realize you missed the scheduled time. However, we cannot guarantee how effective the medication will be if the timing is off. To avoid missing doses, consider setting an alarm on your phone or placing the medication somewhere visible as a reminder.
