The Morning After Pill does work. It is like a high dose of Birth Control. It is not a form of abortion. It works within five days of having unprotected sex. The progestin-only emergency contraceptive pills (Plan B One Step, Next Choice) reduce your risk of pregnancy by up to 95% if taken in the first 24 hours or by 88% when taken in the first 72 hours (3 days). They may have some effectiveness up to 120 hours after the accident, but reliable data for the time between 72 and 120 hours is not available.

Can you get pregnant after being on the pill for only 2 days?

My understanding is that YES you can still get pregnant if you have only been "on the pill" for two days.

This gives the contraceptive time to manage a woman's cycle, and prevent conception.

I missed my contraceptive pill yesterday. Is it safe to take two pills on the same day?

If you missed a contraceptive pill then sometimes it is recommended to take two pills in one day. Taking the two pills at least 10 hours apart should not be a problem. Taking them closer together could make you a little nauseous, and you do not want to throw up after taking the pills. If you want to take regular contraceptive pills as emergency contraception, you might take 2-4 at once. If it has been more than 24 hours since your last pill, use a second method of contraceptives anytime you have intimate for the next 7 days.

first thing in the morning 2 weeks after missed period If you are on a combined pill you should not miss a period and you should not be pregnant if you are taking it correctly.
