A member asked:

Took emergency contraceptive two weeks ago. can i take one another after unprotected sex yesterday?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Yes: Taking another one won't hurt you and may prevent pregnancy. Go ahead and take it. However, if this is going to be a habit, you should plan to get on birth control pills or some other form of contraception next month. Best wishes!

Yes: But if having to use this often you need to get on birth control. Also use condoms to protect from STD's.
