You can also have a copper IUD (intra-uterine device) fitted – this is effective as emergency contraception for up to 5 days after unprotected sex, and will then act as long term contraception.

More Information

What is the morning after pill?

The morning after pill is an emergency contraceptive. It is taken to prevent an unwanted pregnancy after unprotected sex and needs to be taken within a certain time frame. 

Back to top

How does the morning after pill work?

The morning after pill works in a similar way as ordinary contraceptive pills. It contains a hormone which makes it harder for sperm to reach an egg and for a fertilised egg to implant. It is thought that the morning after pill can also prevent ovulation.

Back to top

How to take the morning after pill

Take the morning after pill as soon as possible after sex. You will take one single dose. Take the tablet with a drink of water and swallow it whole without chewing.

Back to top

How long after sex can you take the morning after pill?

There are two different morning after pills, Levonelle and Ellaone. When you can take it depends on which brand you take.

Levonelle needs to be taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex, whereas EllaOne can be taken until up to 120 hours after unprotected sex. The sooner after sex you take the morning after pill, the better - this goes for both Levonelle and Ellaone.

Emergency contraception

Emergency contraception is contraception you can use after unprotected sex. There are two different methods of contraception which are suitable for emergency contraception.

The most commonly used emergency contraceptive is the morning after pill.

Alternatively, you can visit your doctor to have a coil fitted. Some intrauterine devices are suitable for emergency contraception if fitted within 120 hours after an episode of unprotected sex. 

The table below shows some of the differences between emergency contraceptive methods:

EllaOne Levonelle Copper IUD

*Not all women are at risk of pregnancy when they have unprotected sex.
According to the FSRH, EllaOne is more effective at preventing pregnancy up to 72 hours after unprotected sex than Levonelle, and the copper IUD is the most effective emergency contraceptive choice.

About Levonelle

Levonelle is known as the morning after pill. It comes as a single tablet. You can take it within 72 hours of unprotected sex to protect against pregnancy. The sooner you take it, the more effective it is. 

Levonelle is an emergency contraceptive pill, so you should try to limit its use to emergencies only. Don’t use it too regularly (for example, if you often forget to take your pill). If you do take Levonelle too frequently, it can make your period less regular and unreliable.

Use of emergency contraception does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases so you should still use condoms.

Back to top

About EllaOne

EllaOne is similar to Levonelle but it can be taken for up to five days (120h) after unprotected sex. Despite this long window period it should be taken as soon as possible after sex. The sooner you take it, the more likely it is to be effective. If you throw up or have severe diarrhoea within three hours of taking it you need to contact your doctor as you may need to take a second pill.

Back to top

How Effective is the Morning After Pill?

If you are not ovulating and you take EllaOne within the 120 hour window, your chance of not getting pregnant is 98-99%. For Levonelle, if you are not ovulating and take it within 72 hours then you have a 97-99% chance of not getting pregnant.

Levonelle is not recommended if you are close to ovulation. If this is the case EllaOne is a better choice of oral emergency contraceptive pill. However, EllaOne will not work after ovulation has begun.

Levonelle does not make the contraceptive pill any less effective. So just keep taking your pill as normal and use an alternative form of protection until your regular contraceptive pill protects you again (usually seven days from the point after you skipped a pill and restarted taking it).

EllaOne can make the contraceptive pill less effective. As a result, you must use some other form of contraception 7 days after using EllaOne to ensure you are protected from pregnancy. These can include barrier methods like the diaphragm for example.

Back to top

How Does the Morning After Pill Work?

Levonelle and EllaOne contain chemicals that mimic the female sex hormone progesterone. They are thought to prevent ovulation, fertilisation and change the lining of the womb. 

Levonelle and EllaOne trick the body into thinking that it has already ovulated, which prevents eggs being released from the ovaries. They also thickens the mucus in the cervix (the neck of the womb) which makes it harder for sperm to cross from the vagina into the womb to fertilise any eggs that might be there. Finally, Levonelle and EllaOne change the lining of the womb so that any fertilised eggs cannot implant into it.

    I was happy with the service and hopefully the product has done what it was supposed to. My rating is only 4 because the item was sent recorded delivery, I was out so it was returned to the post office. It was a time sensitive item and caused a bit of distress trying to get it in time. Would have preferred a postage method which didn't require a signature.

Not very useful as the product needed to be taken by Wednesday at the latest. However actual product was correct and discretely packaged which was good.
