Emergency Contraception(E C )
M echanism:
Prevents fertilization and implantation. C ounsel
patients that this method does not abort apregnancy that is already implantedC ommon in women after an assault or rapeMost women will have a cycle 21 days after
completing emergency contraceptionIf patient does not have a cycle in 21 days, it isimportant to check a pregnancy test

16/30
Emergency Contraception(E C )
High dose progestin-only (Plan B):1.5mg Norgestrel at one time or in divided doses.Divided Dose : 1st dose within 72-120 hours of intercourse.
2nd dose 12 hours later.One dose : Both tablets within 72-120 hours of intercourse
Yuzpe M ethod (Preven):100mcg of ethinyl estradiol and 0.50 mg of levonorgestrel in each dose. 1st dose within 72 hours of intercourse and 2nddose 12 hours later
C opper IUDPlace within 5 days of unprotected coitusThis is usually given to women who plan to use the IUD for long term birth control
Interferes with implantation after fertilization

Intrauterine Devices(IUDs)
C opper IUD (Paragard T
380 A) C opper is a spermicide that
inhibits sperm motility andacrosomal enzyme action
Lasts 10-12 years May increase bleeding and
dysmenorrhea Typical use failure rate is
0.8%
Mirena(Levonorgestrel)
Increases thickness of cervical mucus to inhibitsperm migration
Lasts up to 5 years Improves menorrhagia by
90% in most patients C auses amenorrhea in
many users Typical use failure rateis
0.1%
*Good for women in mutually monogamous relationshipsRisks:
Increased risk of PID within 1st 20 daysUterine perforationFainting with insertionExpulsion

Combined Contraceptives(Estrogen & Progestin) : Oral
Ethinyl estradiol is the most commonly used estrogen in O C Ps
There are multiple forms of progestinsMonophasic : same amount of hormone in each active tablet
Multiphasic : varying amounts of hormone in each active pill
Most O C Ps have 21 active pills and 7 placebo pills
Mechanism :
Blocks ovulation Thickens cervical mucus Thins the endometrial lining
