I had unprotected sex on Saturday night and I took emergency contraception on Wednesday at around noon. Is it effective?

are you married? because if you are not, you shouldn't be having sex. and definately don't kill a baby, or you will be scarred emotionally for life. >L

It can still work but it's effectiveness is severely reduced after 72 hours as that would have been enough time for a fertilised egg to implant. The morning after pill does not affect implanted eggs.
Wait to see if your next period turns up and go from there. Bear in mind that it might be a bit late/early due to the high dose of hormones you have just taken.
In future, remember to get the morning after pill ASAP after unprotected sex.

They say 72 hours which is probably correct but I'm sure they also give it a little bit of extra time. Either way, you need to get to a doctor ASAP to figure out what your next step needs to be. If you are not pregnant get on some Birth Control. And don't listen to religeous fanatics telling you are wrong to have sex or even if you did decide on abortion that you are an evil person. Make your own decisions and don't let that kind of crap bring you down!

Yes. It's just not very effective. EC must be started up to 120 hours — five days — after unprotected intercourse to reduce the risk of pregnancy. The sooner it is started, the better. EC reduces the risk of pregnancy by 75-89 percent when started within 72 hours. You can check on plannedparenthood.org and see that it's true.

you've the Morning After pill - i think thats as much as 72 hours after. you additionally could have an emergency coil geared up yet Im undecided how long after and which could merely be geared up by ability of a GP or kin making plans health center. The Morning after pill is attainable unfastened from maximum chemists - i know that Boots do it. different chemists charge around £25 for it. the quicker you get any form of emergency birth control the greater effective that's. you're able to desire to be certain your GP or e book into your loved ones making plans health center ASAP. good success.
