Brief Answer:
Morning after pill very effective

Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
You had unprotected intercourse and to prevent pregnancy you tool postinor 2. This is nearly 98% protective for preventing pregnancy if taken within 1 day after unprotected intercourse. So I think since you used the medication so soon you have prevented any chance for pregnancy.
