What can you use if your period is eight days late and think are pregnant but do not want to be pregnant?

Emergency Contraceptive Pills (ECPs)

Emergency contraceptive pills (ECPs) are a type of hormonal medication used to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. They are most effective when taken within 72 hours (3 days) of unprotected sex, but may still be effective up to 120 hours (5 days). ECPs work by preventing ovulation, fertilisation of the egg, or implantation of the fertilised egg in the uterus.

IUD (Intrauterine Device)

An IUD is a small T-shaped device inserted into the uterus through the cervix by a healthcare professional. IUDs can be used as both emergency contraception and long-term contraception. As emergency contraception, IUDs are most effective when inserted within 5 days (120 hours) of unprotected sex. IUDs work by preventing fertilisation of the egg or implantation of the fertilised egg in the uterus.

It's important to note that ECPs and IUDs are not 100% effective in preventing pregnancy. If you are concerned about being pregnant, it's important to take a pregnancy test as soon as possible. If the test is positive and you do not want to continue the pregnancy, it's important to speak to a healthcare professional about your options.
