Available postcoital contraception methods include emergency contraceptive pills (ECPs) with and without estrogen, and copper-bearing intrauterine devices.

But emergency contraception is not a logical choice for ongoing protection and no any method of ongoing contraception is more effective than conventional contraceptive pills.
