The failure rates of the levonorgestrel, commonly used emergency contraceptive is around 0.2 to 3%. For this, it has to be taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex.
The emergency contraceptive that was used is not mentioned in the description. The above failure rates is for levonorgestrel that happens to be most commonly used. I hope it answers your query about the chances of getting pregnant. Thanks for writing into healthcaremagic. Have a wonderful day.
