Morning After Contraception

This isn't really just for the "Morning After", but for up to 3 days after intercourse. It's a special form of the contraceptive Pill called Levonelle. It's only effective if it's taken within 72 hours- that's three days- of the ONLY episode of unprotected intercourse- when you might have got pregnant- since your last period. It's not totally effective, but it's pretty good.

You can get it by :

seeing your GP or Sister at the Surgery. You'll have to ask for an Emergency (Same Day) Appointment at Reception.
you can also Sister Rachel Barker at the Drop In Clinic at Monday lunch - click here to find out details

RIchardson's Chemists (Moss's) on Belle Vue Street can provide it for free without you even having to see a Doctor

Coil

In certain circumstances, a doctor can fit a contraceptive coil up to 5 days after unprotected intercourse, to try to stop the fertilised egg implanting into your womb. There an be problems with this, so it's best not relied on.
