Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. The chances are much more with an expired coil, but there are still significantly less in comparison to a woman who has no coil inserted at all. I would recommend the insertion of a copper T which can be inserted within 5 days from unprotected sexual contact as an emergency contraceptive method when hormonal pills are contraindicated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Best wishes,
Dr. Shoaib Khan
