The video is on “Why is the emergency contraceptive pill not effective after ovulation?”

Note that I didn’t mention the copper IUD. This is actually the most effective emergency contraception method….more effective than the Plan B or Ella pills. 

It is effective regardless of weight and can be used even after ovulation has occurred. It can also serve as a form of regular birth control. 

Note that the IUD has to be placed at a doctor’s office and cannot be gotten over the counter. 

The EC pills should not be used as a regular form of birth control. There are multiple contraceptive options available. You should talk to your doctor about those options if interested. 

Finally, EC pills and the IUD do not protect against HIV, STDs.
