If you take the morning after pill within 24 hours after having unprotected sex, but a day later have unprotected sex again (assuming the man ejaculated inside of you both times), can you still get pregnant? Does the levonorgestrel stay in your system for longer than a day and remain effective?

1. morning after pill even when used properly is not 100 percent effective, so even from first time you could still be ( just not as likely)

2. even if the man withdraws, there is stll plenty of sperm in early fluids, so ejaculating inside is not needed only adds to the chance.

But the short answer is, yes, remember the morning after pill is not normal birth control and if you are going to be having sex and do not want to be pregnant, you should be using at least two regular forms of birth control
