When Emergency Pill Should Be Taken After Sex?
I am an eighteen year old female who has been on birth control (pills) for about three years now. I had sex last night and the condom broke, so we went and got Next Choice. I used it within half an hour of buying it. Is there a high rate for it working? I know that they say the sooner you use it the better.

Hi and thanks for your query.
You have taken within 24 hours of unprotected intercourse hence its effectiveness is about 94 %.
If you take it within 72 hours after you've had unprotected sex, Plan B One-Step can reduce the risk of pregnancy by up to 89%.
Be calm and another times have protected intercourse.
All the best
