How to prevent pregnancy after ovulation

1. Use emergency contraception

If you don't get pregnant for several days after having sex, you might consider using emergency contraception. Emergency contraceptive measures include oral emergency contraceptive pills, emergency contraceptive rings and emergency contraceptive injections. These measures can take effect within minutes or hours after sex and can prevent pregnancy for a short period of time.

2. Use regular contraception

Routine contraceptive measures include the use of contraceptive rings, diaphragms, contraceptive suppositories and contraceptive injections. These measures usually take several months or a year to take effect and may require surgery before sex.

3. Use oral emergency contraception

Oral emergency contraceptive pills take effect within minutes or hours after sex and can prevent pregnancy for a short period of time. These drugs include mifepristone and danazol, among others.

4. Avoid using IUDs

The IUD is a traditional form of birth control, but some people may experience discomfort or infection. In addition, the IUD may fall off or shift out of place over time, causing pregnancy.

5. Use emergency contraceptive injections

Emergency contraceptive injections take effect within minutes and can prevent pregnancy for a short period of time. However, emergency contraceptive injections need to be administered within a short period of time and may not be suitable for everyone.

In summary, emergency contraception and regular contraception may be good options for people who want to avoid pregnancy after ovulation. If you're not sure which method to use, it's best to ask your doctor or family planning specialist for advice.
