IUDs Touted as Emergency Contraception

Medical News: IUDs Effective as Emergency Contraception - in OB/Gyn, Pregnancy from MedPage Today: In a review of 35 years of data in which IUDs were inserted after unprotected intercourse, 99.86% of overall women did not become pregnant, reported Kelly Cleland, a research scientist at Princeton University in New Jersey, and colleagues in Human Reproduction.

How it works: According to FamilyDoctor.org, "Unlike the morning-after pill, an IUD doesn't stop your ovaries from releasing an egg. The IUD can prevent an egg from being fertilized and it can stop a fertilized egg from attaching itself to the wall of the uterus."
