A member asked:
I took the day after pill the next after having sex does it actually work if you take it the next day after having sex?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes but: it's most effective the sooner it's taken after having unprotected sex. In can be taken up to 72 hours afterwards, but the longer you wait the higher the chance of pregnancy. The best thing to do would be to prevent this situation in the first place by using an effective form of contraception (condoms, birth control pills, IUD, etc).
