A member asked:
Can i have unprotected sex after taking emergency contraception?
6 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
You should not: First, emergency contraception is not 100% effective. Second, if you weren't pregnant from the first episode of unprotected sex, then you might be getting yourself pregnant from your next episode of unprotected sex. Emergency contraception if for emergencies, such as a broke condom or rape, not for planning unprotected sex.
