Does Taking Morning After Pill After 72 Hours Of Sex Prevent Pregnancy?

I got my period on the 2nd of october and finished around the 5th. I had unprotected sex with my partner on the 9th and took the morning after pill straight after. We had protected sex the next day and noticed leakage around the base of the condom. Did not really worry about it because it could have been from me, but on the 12th I started to worry that it may have been his cum. So the next day I went to go get the morning after pill again but it was well after 72 hours of having sex. Should I be worried?

Hello dear
I understand your concern
Do not worry
Chance of the pregnancy is nil as you had sex in the safe period of the cycle.
During safe period, no ovum is released so no fertilization will take place.
But chance of the hormonal imbalance and side effects are high as you used morning after pill two times with in short time.
It also cause delay in period by 8-10 days.
Avoid stress, take healthy diet, drink plenty of water and do regular exercise.
Do not use morning pill so frequently as cause menstrual irregularity, hormonal imbalance and fertility issue.
Hope this may help you
