A member asked:
Can i take an emergency contraceptive (morning after pill) while i am already ovulating?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can be taken any day: A morning-after pill taken the day after sex is very effective in preventing pregnancy. It is about 95% effective, which translates to: if 100 women take the pill the day after sex, about 5 women get pregnant, and 95 will not get pregnant from that sex. The morning-after pill works less well on days 3, 4, or 5 after sex. One can do a urine pregnancy test 3 weeks after sex to verify non-pregnancy.
