Emergency Hormonal Contraceptive
Safe, effective emergency contraception to prevent pregnancy
If you’ve had unprotected sex or your contraception has failed (for example, a split condom or missed pill), emergency contraception can safely and effectively help prevent pregnancy.
At ifeelshy®, we provide a quick, discreet, and confidential way to access the emergency contraceptive pill — sometimes called the morning-after pill.
Our treatments are MHRA-approved, clinically proven, and dispensed by qualified pharmacists.
There are two main types of emergency contraceptive pills available in the UK:
· ellaOne, which can be taken up to 5 days (120 hours) after unprotected sex.
· Levonelle, which can be taken up to 3 days (72 hours) after unprotected sex.
Both options work by delaying ovulation, helping to prevent fertilisation from occurring.

FAQs
1. How does the emergency contraceptive pill work?
It prevents or delays ovulation (the release of an egg), reducing the chance of fertilisation and pregnancy after unprotected sex.
2. How soon should I take the pill?
The sooner you take it, the better.
· ellaOne: within 120 hours (5 days).
· Levonelle: within 72 hours (3 days).
3. Is the morning-after pill the same as an abortion pill?
No. Emergency contraception prevents pregnancy — it does not terminate an existing one.
4. Can I use the emergency pill regularly?
It’s intended for occasional use. If you need ongoing protection, consider a daily contraceptive pill or long-term birth control option.
5. Are there any side effects?
You may experience mild side effects such as nausea, headache, or changes in your next period. These are temporary and usually mild.
6. What if I vomit after taking the pill?
If you vomit within 3 hours of taking the pill, you’ll need another dose — contact our pharmacy team for advice.
