Hello,
Yes, it might. About 1 or 2 in every 100 women who use Emergency contraceptive pills will become pregnant despite taking the pills within 72 hours after having unprotected sex. Emergency contraception is most effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
