A woman can go to the Health Service Walk-In Clinic, 3rd Floor, John Jay Hall, and be seen by a provider who will review her medical history and in most cases, dispense emergency contraception. This sounds so great. Emergency contraception is an emergency measure. Health Service providers will spend time with you to determine a contraceptive method to meet your unique needs. Most women experience minor side effects.
Some women experience nausea and vomiting.
Other effects may include headache, breast tenderness, dizz iness, a bloated feeling, or irregularity in the next menstrual period after use. In the event that it doesn't, and you choose to continue the pregnancy, emergency contraception does not seem to harm a fetus. Health Service providers frequently include partners in discussions about contraception. If you are a student and your partner isn't, there is an additional visit fee. Students who have used emergency contraception may not talk about it, since for them, it may be a private matter.
