A member asked:
Is being on birth control for two days going to protect me from pregnancy? i was on it the day before sex and the day of sex but not the day after
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: In order for birth control pills to be effective they need to be taken on the appropriate schedule. Taking a pill for two days will likely provide no contraceptive benefit.
