Summary
Women using an emergency contraceptive method must use back up protection for 1-2 weeks
depending on method. The Copper-IUD is the most effective emergency contraceptive method.
The investigators wish to explore if women choosing the Cooper IUD have a higher frequency
of use of an effective contraceptive method 3 months and 6 months after the use of an
emergency contraceptive method than women who choose to use the emergency contraceptive pill
EllaOne (ulipristal acetate).
