Ruth Levonorgestrel works mainly by preventing or delaying ovulation — meaning it stops the ovary from releasing an egg. If there’s no egg released, sperm cannot fertilize it.
Depending on timing in the menstrual cycle, it may also:
Thicken cervical mucus, making it harder for sperm to move
Make fertilization less likely
Important things to know:
It works best the sooner it’s taken after unprotected sex
It is most effective within 72 hours, but can still help up to 120 hours (5 days), with decreasing effectiveness over time
It does not end an existing pregnancy and is not an abortion pill
A common emergency contraception dose is 1.5 mg taken once
Factors like body weight/BMI and where someone is in their cycle can affect effectiveness.
Five Days by Ruth (Mifepristone) is a progesterone receptor blocker (an antiprogestin). Progesterone is a hormone needed for ovulation timing and for preparing the uterus for pregnancy. At a low dose like 10 mg used for emergency contraception, it mainly works by:
Delaying or inhibiting ovulation
It can stop the follicle from releasing an egg, even relatively late in the fertile window.Altering endometrial development
It changes the uterine lining so implantation becomes less likely if fertilization occurred.
Some studies found lower pregnancy rates than levonorgestrel emergency contraception.
