General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Well, you have to take any emergency contraceptive pill (Unwanted 72 or i pill) within 72 hours after having unprotected sex.

That is the only way you can prevent unwanted pregnancy when you are exposed to unprotected sex.

But earlier you take the pill, the protection seems to be better.

See that next time there is no delay in taking pills or using proper protection when you indulge in such an act.

Take care.
