Austin Women’s Health Center
Emergency Contraception Options
Morning-After Pill
Emergency contraception (My Way) is provided over the counter and without an appointment. Please bring a photo ID.
These pills are most effective in the first 24 hours after unsafe sex but can be used with lower effectiveness until the 5th day after unsafe sex.
IUD Insertion
IUD insertion requires an appointment. IUDs can safely be used as emergency contraception up to 5 days after unsafe sex.
Austin Women’s Health Center offers 3, 5, or 10-year options, such as Mirena and Paragard.
Birth Control Pills
Most regular birth control pills can also be used as a form of emergency contraception if necessary, but can be a less effective option. This works by taking an increased dosage of your pills. The amount you should take depends on brands. Research your prescription’s brand or ask a medical professional for details.
Austin Women’s Health Center offers all types of birth control pills by appointment.
