If I took an emergency contraceptive pill yesterday and had unprotected sex again today, do I need to take another one, and will the medication I am taking to delay my period affect how it works?

Asked by Female, 25 · 13 days ago

Emergency contraceptive pills generally only protect you from sex that occurred before taking them, not after. Because you had unprotected sex again today, you may need another dose. Additionally, some medications used to delay your period (like norethisterone) can lower the effectiveness of certain emergency contraceptives, particularly ulipristal acetate. To keep you safe and ensure maximum protection, I highly recommend contacting a pharmacist or doctor right away. Let them know the exact names of both medications so they can advise you on the safest next steps.
