Emergency contraception refers to methods of contraception that can be used to prevent pregnancy after sexual intercourse. These are recommended for use within 5 days but are more effective the sooner they are used after the act of intercourse.

The copper-bearing IUD acts primarily by:
1. | Preventing fertilization | 2. | Preventing ovulation |
3. | Preventing implantation | 4. | Inducing abortion |
