Interception (gynecology)
Under interception or anti-implantation effect is understood in the gynecology of the occurrence prevention of pregnancy after fertilization of the oocyte , but prior to implantation of the egg in the uterine lining ( nidation ). One method of interception is to insert an intrauterine device (coil) into the uterus ("coil afterwards"). It is still unclear whether the morning- after pill (active ingredient levonorgestrel or ulipristal acetate ) can also work interceptively; however, their primary effect is to prevent or delay ovulation .
