What You Need to Know About Emergency Birth Control
Thanks to emergency birth control (EBC) methods, women can prevent unwanted pregnancies even days after unprotected intercourse. Unlike regular birth control, EBC is intended for emergency use only and cannot cause abortion or trigger miscarriage. This article explores the two most common types of emergency birth control.
Understanding Emergency Birth Control
Emergency Birth Control (EBC) refers to methods used to prevent conception after unprotected sex. Designed for emergencies, EBC is not recommended for regular use by those with active sex lives. Pregnancy is a biological process that unfolds over several days, allowing EBC methods to work effectively if used promptly. It’s important to note that EBC does not equate to abortion; it simply acts as a preventive measure.
Types of Emergency Birth Control
1. EBC Pills
EBC pills are similar to regular birth control pills but taken in higher doses. They differ from the French abortion pill as they do not cause miscarriage. EBC pills are available in two forms: the progestin and estrogen combination pill and the progestin-only pill. Progestin-only pills are more efficient with fewer side effects, making them a preferred choice.
Highly regarded for their effectiveness, EBC pills can prevent nearly two million unwanted pregnancies and over 500,000 abortions annually in the US. However, they should not replace regular contraception, which is more cost-effective.
2. Copper-T Intrauterine Device (IUD)
The Copper-T IUD is a highly effective form of emergency birth control, capable of preventing pregnancy by over 99% even up to five days after unprotected sex. A clinician or gynecologist must insert the IUD. Although highly effective, there are potential health risks, including infertility and inflammatory diseases. Fortunately, these can be managed with proper medical care.
Moreover, the Copper-T IUD offers protection for up to 10 years, supporting a safe and active sexual life for women who choose this method. Despite its effectiveness, many doctors recommend EBC pills over IUDs due to considerations of convenience, safety, and cost.
By understanding these methods, women can make informed decisions about emergency birth control, ensuring they choose the most suitable option for their needs.
