A member asked:

Hi, i had unprotected sex last june 8, saturday. i'm planning to take nordette (ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel) as ecp for june 14. would it still be effective?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doubtful: When used as ecp, it needs to be taken within 72 hrs after sex. Might be too late for you.
