* If you cannot access dedicated emergency contraception, you can use regular birth control pills as replacement ECPs. Talk to your local pharmacist or physician about how this can be done.
* For Kyrgyz women, intra-urine devices (IUDs) are the most popular contraceptive option. For this reason, if you are interested in obtaining one in Kyrgyzstan, particularly in urban areas like Bishkek, you should not encounter too much difficulty. You can refer to our "Gynecological Exams" section of this page to learn which clinics or providers you may consult for this service.
* If you cannot access dedicated emergency contraception, you can get an IUD, which can sometimes prevent pregnancy up to five days after unprotected sex.
