Emergency contraceptive pill

Do i need to take Emergency contraceptive pills now if i had protected sex (condom is used) with my bf yesterday? Apparently im in my fertile days, ovulation occured yesterday or a day before yesterday.

Thanks.

Hi and thank you for your inquiry. This is a general answer to the question asked. Please click on this link (DoctorOnCall) to talk to us privately.

The use of emergency contraception is usually taken by woman who had unprotected sexual intercourse. If you’re not planning to get pregnant and you suspect that there was a leaked condom used by your partner, you may take the emergency contraceptive pills. However, it is important to be reminded that the emergency contraceptive pills are not a substitute for regular contraceptives as the former has its own drawbacks if used regularly.
