===What to Get & Where to Get It===


'''Note:''' The longest-lasting EC is currently [http://www.ellaone.com/ ellaOne]. It lasts up to 5 days (120 hours) after unprotected sex. Check to see if your country carries ellaOne. 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.
* You can obtain emergency contraceptive pills (morning after pills), but they may be only available at family planning clinics in some cases. One brand you may find at family planning clinics is Optinor.<ref>[https://www.cecinfo.org/country-by-country-information/status-availability-database/countries/bahamas/ EC Status and Availability: Bahamas]</ref>
