If your country doesn't carry ellaOne, copper IUDs may also prevent pregnancy up to 5 days after unprotected sex. If none of these options are available, and it's been over 3 days since you had unprotected sex, you can still take EC, which may work up to 5 days. Note that EC pills are not 100% effective and should be taken as soon as possible. | ||
For dedicated anti-progestin, you can take ellaOne (take 1 pill within 120 hours after unprotected sex), but you may need a prescription. If you would like more information ellaOne, here's [http://www.ellaone.es/ the website for Spain]. For all other morning after pills, you don't need a prescription. If you are looking for dedicated, progestin-only EC, you can take NorLevo 1.5mg or Postinor 1500 (take 1 pill within 120 hours after unprotected sex). There's also Postinor (take 2 pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex). If you cannot access dedicated EC, you can use some hormonal birth control pills as EC.

There's also Microgynon, Ovoplex 3 and Ovoplex 30/50 (take 4 pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex and take 4 more pills 12 hours later).<ref>[http://ec.princeton.edu/worldwide/ The Emergency Contraception Website]</ref> | |||
