We understand that unplanned situations can arise, and your peace of mind is essential. Our dedicated team of healthcare professionals is here to provide you with safe and confidential access to emergency contraception in Cheltenham.<\/p>\n<p>Emergency contraception is a tablet women take to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex, including contraceptive failures like a condom slipping off.<\/p>\n<h3>How Does Emergency Contraception Work?<\/h3>\n<p>Emergency Hormonal Contraception delays egg release during your menstrual cycle&#8217;s ovulation phase. Rising luteinising hormone (LH) levels trigger ovulation. Higher LH levels reduce the morning-after pill&#8217;s effectiveness. Hence, take the emergency contraceptive pill immediately after unprotected sex for optimal efficacy.<\/p>\n<p>You can choose between two types of contraception in Cheltenham: ellaOne and Levonelle (Levonorgestrel).<br \/>\nLevonorgestrel is less effective as LH levels rise, while ellaOne remains effective later in the menstrual cycle. Both must be taken promptly after sexual intercourse, preferably on the same day.<\/p>\n<p>While you need to collect emergency contraception in-store, you can order and pick up the tablets on the same day.<\/p>\n<h4>What Are the Side Effects of Emergency Contraception?<\/h4>\n<p>Common side effects include irregular bleeding, nausea, headaches, and abdominal or period pain.<\/p>\n<h4>Can Men Purchase Emergency Contraception?<\/h4>\n<p>No, it&#8217;s exclusively for women. Before purchase, complete a suitability questionnaire. Contraceptives are available for in-person collection at our stores.<\/p>\n<h4>Can Emergency Contraception Protect Against STIs?<\/h4>\n<p>No, it prevents pregnancy but not sexually transmitted infections (STIs) or diseases (STDs) like chlamydia, genital warts, or HIV. Practice safe sex by wearing a condom during intercourse to prevent STIs.<\/p>\n<h3>What Is Unprotected Sex and Safe Sex?<\/h3>\n<p>Unprotected sex, which includes contraception lapses or failures like missed pills or improper condom use, risks pregnancy. Not all contraceptives prevent diseases, so practice safe sex to avoid infections.<br \/>\nSafe sex involves using condoms to prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases and infections while avoiding unwanted pregnancy. Always use a condom, even with other birth control methods.<\/p>\n<h3>Contact Us<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"\/contact\/\">Get in touch<\/a> with your friendly team at The Spa Pharmacy today, to discuss emergency contraception in Cheltenham.<\/p>\n<!--\nPlugin Name: Bookly - Responsive WordPress Appointment Booking and Scheduling Plugin\nPlugin URI: https:\/\/www.booking-wp-plugin.com\/?utm_source=bookly_admin&utm_medium=plugins_page&utm_campaign=plugins_page\nVersion: 27.7-->\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n    :root {\n        --bookly-main-color: #0d9f4a !important;\n        --bookly-color: #0d9f4a !important;\n    }\n\n    <\/style><div class=\"bookly-css-root\">\n    <div id=\"bookly-form-container-6a3306c2e368b\" class=\"bookly-form\" data-form_id=\"\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n        <div style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/91e.bc2.mytemp.website\/spapharmacy\/wp-includes\/js\/tinymce\/skins\/lightgray\/img\/loader.gif\" alt=\"Loading...\"\/><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n    (function (win, fn) {\n        var done = false, top = true,\n            doc = win.document,\n            root = doc.documentElement,\n            modern = doc.addEventListener,\n            add = modern ?
