A member asked:
If i take 7 days worth of contraceptive pills and have unprotected sex 4 hours afterwards, am i protected from pregnancy ?

Don't bet on it: The pill works by maintaining a level of hormone in your system that stops egg release. No egg=no pregnancy. If you are trying to load up the system like a morning after pill, don't depend on it to work since it is not designed for that use. There are morning after pills with proper dose that would work that way available without prescription.
