A member asked:
I had unprotected sex on a fertile day. took morning after pill within 10 hours of sex. will it protect me from being pregnant?

To a great extent: The "morning after pill" works by preventing or delaying ovulation. Depending on the type of morning after regimen, it is 85 tot 95% effective in preventing unplanned pregnancy if taking with 24 hours of unprotected sex. Most morning after pills work by inhibiting or preventing ovulation. Failures can occur IF you have already ovulated, so they aren't 100% effective. Best wishes.

Not perfect : But when taken within 24 hours of intercourse, it is reported to be 95% effective at preventing pregnancy.
