In Malaysia today, the oral contraceptive pill is being replace by an only progesterone pill. Its called levonorgestrel. Its shown that its slightly more effective than the OCP and cause less side effect compared to OCP, such as nausea and vomitting.
It can be taken up to 5 days after u have sex, but take note, the more u delay, the more likely u will get pregnant. There is a 85% chance it can prevent pregnancy. All u need to take is 1.5mg ( 2 tablets) at 1 time.
If u have not given birth before and u just had sex the night before, IUCD will most likely not be suitable. This is because the cervix ( or more accurately the os) of someone who has not given birth is so small, its gonna be really hard to insert an IUCD. Also, the IUCD is really expensive (RM 300 to 500) . Its only suitable for married women with kids as a emergency method. It can be used up to 7 days after sex.
Hope this helps
