A) No - this is not an interactive site so we can't answer individual queries - it is better to attend a clinic in person for this.

Q) Does it matter how quickly I get hormonal (tablet) emergency contraception?

A) Yes - the first 24 hours is best for success. The product licence for Levonelle 1500 indicates it can be taken up to 72 hours after you were at risk, but the failure rate increases with time. There is some evidence to support it can be taken up to 120 hours, but the packet instructions will not state this. (A copper coil can be inserted up to 5 days and is very effective as emergency contraception).

A) By attending a family planning clinic.
