Embracing Post-Fertilisation Methods of Family Planning: A Call to Action

J Fam Plann Reprod Health Care; 2014 Jan; 40(1):73; doi:10.1136/jfprhc-2013-100824

In this commentary, the authors present an argument for developing a family planning method that could be used after fertilization. Such a method could be used later after sex than emergency contraceptives and could possibly be used only when a woman’s menstrual period is delayed. While there would likely be political fallout, a post-fertilization method would likely appeal to many women and thus efforts to produce such a method would be worthwhile.
