Emergency contraception refers to methods of contraception that can be used to prevent pregnancy after sexual interc0urse. Methods of emergency contraception are the copper-bearing intrauterine devices (IUDs) and the emergency contraceptive pills (ECPs). Emergency contraceptive pills prevent pregnancy by preventing or delaying ovulation and THEY DO NOT INDUCE AN ABORTION. The copper-bearing IUD prevents fertilization by causing a chemical change in sperm and egg before they meet making it less able to fertilize the egg. Know that emergency contraception cannot interrupt an established pregnancy or harm a developing embryo. Emergency contraception will not protect you from STIs. To lower your risk of getting an STI, always use condoms when you have sex.
