Hi,
Delay in taking the Ipill reduces its efficacy. If you are still within 5 days of unprotected sexual act you can get Copper intrauterine contraceptive device inserted (IUCD). In addition to preventing the occurrence of pregnancy now, it works as efficient contraceptive devise for 5-10 years depending on the type of copper IUCD
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
