Can regular contraception be initiated after ECPs?

Condoms and other barrier methods can be used immediately after taking ECPs. Regular hormonal contraceptive methods can be initiated either immediately or with the next menstrual cycle. An EC client who is interested in starting or continuing a regular contraceptive method should receive family planning counseling, and should be advised to use condoms or not have sex until she begins using the regular contraceptive method.
