I had unprotected sex 2 days ago and I was told to take OVRAL 28 contraceptive pills, will that prevent me from falling pregnant?

Emergency Contraception

It may, if taken in a manner like this.
But no "after" pill is 100 percent, so there is a chance of pregnancy

Hi,

The longer you wait the less effective it will be, they're usually only effective within 3 days of unprotected sex. They're a huge dose of hormone to attempt to prevent ovulation and implantation. If either of these things have happened within the two days since the sexual encounter then the pill could be largely ineffective. You can take it, but you might still be pregnant.
