No: Yes you could take birth contorl after unprotected sex but it will not work. Birth Control prevents ovulation, once ovulation happens birth contorl would have no effect on the potential for fertilization and implantation.

Not always: hen is your next cycle? If you are have unprotected sex during your ovulation period, OCP may fail.
