Suggest Remedy To Avoid Pregnancy After Unprotected Sex
i am 28yrs old 5" 54 kgs. I had unprotected sex on tuesday and today I swallowed a family planning pill. I have just learnt I should have started it between day 1-7 of my cycle. Today is day 15 of my 26 day cycle. I did not consider the e-pill since I used it last month. Is there anything I should be worried about?

Hello,
The only form of contraception that works after having unprotected intercourse is emergency contraception taken within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse. Birth control pills will not work as an emergency contraceptive,
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
