A member asked:

I had unprotected sex so i took morning after pill. but i did it again right after i took the pill. will the pill work?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Emergency contraception usually works by delaying ovulation. It works just as well if taken an hour before or an hour after intercourse. In your case, the emergency contraception should cover both episodes of intimacy. Best wishes!
