==Notfallkontrazeption (die Pille danach)==


'''Important Notes:''' Emergency contraception may prevent pregnancy for three days (72 hours) and sometimes five days (120 hours) after unprotected sex. Take EC '''as soon as possible''' after unprotected sex. If you don't have access to dedicated EC, oral contraceptives can be used as replacement EC, but remember the following: 1) Only some contraceptives work as EC 2) Different contraceptives require different dosages and time schedules to work as EC 3) You must only use the first 21 pills in 28-day packs and 4) They may be less effective than dedicated EC. For general information on emergency contraceptives, click [https://www.plannedparenthood.org/learn/morning-after-pill-emergency-contraception here] and [http://ec.princeton.edu/info/ecp.html here].
'''Achtung:''' Notfallkontrazeption kann Schwangerschaft während drei Tagen (72 Stunden) bzw. fünf Tagen (120 Sunden) nach ungeschützter Geschechtsverkehr verhindern. Die Pille danach muss dementsprechend '''umso schnell wie möglich''' genommen werden. Falls keine Notfallkontrazeption verfügbar ist, können auch regelmässige Pillen als Ersatz dienen. Zu berücksichtigen ist aber:  
1. nur einige Pillen können als Ersatz dienen
2. unterschiedliche Pillen benötigen unterschiedliche Dosierungen und Zeitplänen, um wie die Pille danach zu funktionieren
3. nur die ersten 21 Pillen in 28-Tagen Packungen sind zu benutzen und
4. regelmässige Pillen können weniger wirksam als die Pille danach sein

In Germany, you can get emergency contraception (the morning after pill) without a prescription. Until March 2015, it was by prescription only. Now you can purchase Levonorgestrel and Ulipristal pills over-the-counter and, if you're over 14 years old, you don't parental consent.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_contraceptive_availability_by_country#Germany Contraceptive Availability by Country: Germany]</ref>
In Deutschland kann Notfallkontrazeption (die Pille danach) ohne Verschreibung erhalten werden. Bis März 2015 war eine Verschreibung noch Pflicht. Jetzt ist es möglich, Levonorgestrel und Ulipristal Pillen rezeptfrei zu kaufen. Ab 14 Jahre ist die Zustimmung der Eltern nicht mehr notwendig.

'''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.
'''Anmerkung:''' die anhaltendeste Notfallkontrazeption ist gegenwärtig [http://www.ellaone.com/ ellaOne]. Sie kann bis 5 Tagen (120 Stunden) nach ungeschützter Geschlechtsverkehr benutzt werden.


You can find emergency contraception in public sector clinics, private clinics, pharmacies and emergency rooms. Some Catholic hospitals may refuse to prescribe or issue EC, but this is not very common. For dedicated EC products, there's ellaOne, an anti-progestin, and you should take 1 pill within 120 hours after unprotected sex. There's also PiDaNa, a progestin, and you also should take 1 pill within 120 hours after unprotected sex.<ref>[http://ec.princeton.edu/worldwide/ Princeton EC Website]</ref> As for contraceptives used as EC, there are a variety of contraceptives in Germany, and instructions for how many to take will vary according to the pills. For more details, visit the [http://ec.princeton.edu/worldwide/ Princeton EC website], where you can find all possible combinations accessible in Germany.
