Other than the one emergency contraception pill you are told about, I only found out about the coil method when I took a friend (many years ago now!) to a specialist clinic. We were looking to get the emergency pill for her and the nurse was pretty horrible about it. We were 18 at the time so may have just been a scare tactic to stop us ending up there again

I didn't know there was 3 methods. I've only heard of the pill option.

No, despite the coil being the most effective most people don't seem to know about it. I think the general public also has less information about the Ella-one tablet rather than levonorgestrel. That being said since most people still come into the pharmacy asking for the morning after pill I'd say all information held is a little sketchy
