How Soon Should You Take the Pill?

Timing makes a big difference. These pills are most effective when taken as quickly as possible after unprotected intercourse. While they can still work up to 72 hours later, waiting reduces their effectiveness. The earlier you act, the better your chances of preventing pregnancy.

Why Emergency Pills Can Still Fail

Despite their convenience, emergency pills are not 100% reliable. They are designed to lower the risk of pregnancy, but their failure rate is higher than other forms of contraception. This is why they should be seen as a backup option, not something to rely on regularly.

What If Your Period Doesn’t Come on Time?

One of the most important follow-up steps is to watch for your next period. If it’s delayed, don’t assume everything is fine, take a pregnancy test to be sure. This helps avoid uncertainty and ensures that, if needed, medical care can be sought early.

The Smart Way to Use Emergency Pills

Emergency contraception is helpful in unexpected situations, but it isn’t a substitute for regular birth control. Knowing its limits and following up with proper checks allows women to use it safely while planning for more reliable, long-term methods.
