Reduced risk: Since you took pill within 72 hours the risk of pregnancy is low. Note that emergence contraception pill is not to be used as regular birth control. Please see your doctor to discuss what birth control would be best for you. Practice safe sex, use condoms. If at any time you think you might be pregnant do a pregnancy test and see your doctor. Take care and stay safe.

Low: Ella (ulipristal acetate) works up to 5 days after sex . Other options best asap but up to 3 days. They work by preventing ovulation, and are not perfect. Regular ongoing birth control works better. Pills, patches, ring are options, but require regular use. Consider long acting options of iud and implant. They're the most effective and easy!
