Is Pregnancy Possible Despite Taking An Emergency Contraceptive Pill After Intercourse?
I had unprotected sex on Monday morning about 7am and took Norvelo on Thursday around 13h00. We had sex again yesterday afternoon. Do I have total another emergency contraceptive pill or will this pill still have an effect. I am going on a mini pill as i have blood pressure problems.

Hi I think the emergency pill can delay the ovulation and thus prevents pregnancy. So, it will not be effective for next intercourse. So, you may need another pill to prevent pregnancy. If you had bleeding after the emergency pill, then you should not have needed the pill again. Don't take emergency pill frequently as it can have side effects on ovarian function. Hope it helps
