Emergency contraception (EC) offers women the option of preventing undesired pregnancy after unprotected sexual intercourse, suspected contraceptive failure, or sexual assault. It is not uncommon for patients to present to the emergency department requesting EC [1]. Currently, there are several different EC options available to patients in the United States including 2 doses of an estrogen-progesterone combination, known as the Yuzpe method; a progesterone-only regimen using levonorgestrel (Plan B); and placement of an intrauterine device (IUD), which offers the advantage of continued contraception if kept in place [2].
