Does taking emergency contraception in the morning protect against pregnancy if unprotected sex occurs later that same night?

Asked by Female, 22 · 9 days ago

To answer your question directly: no, emergency contraception taken in the morning does not reliably protect you from pregnancy if you have unprotected sex later that night. These medications, such as levonorgestrel, work primarily by delaying ovulation to prevent pregnancy from past intercourse; they do not provide ongoing protection. Since you had unprotected sex afterward, you may still be at risk. I highly recommend speaking with a healthcare provider or pharmacist as soon as possible to discuss whether you need another dose or a different option.
