A member asked:
I had unprotected sex on the 13th, ovulated on the 14th, and got the paragard on the 15th as emergency contraception. it turns out that i'm allergic to it. how long do i have to wait for it to prevent this possible pregnancy? then i will remove it?

I would say 7-10 days minimum, a full cycle maximum: if you had taken Plan B within 3 days of the unprotected sex, that would have been the safest answer best way to prevent conception, but this is also a good choice
