Best Answer

Pills are pretty effective (about 97-98%) if correctly used. If you start next package of pills late, the effectiveness will be changed.

There are 3 methods how to start pills correctly :

  1. from first day of period
  2. from closest Sunday
  3. from day five.

What happens when Emergency contraceptive pill is used in the case of uncertain failure of contraceptive?

It will be very effective if taken within the first 48 hours of intercourse. You may experience side effects such as break through bleeding, or a change to your menstrual cycle and abdominal cramping, but not everyone experiences these common side effects and it does not indicate whether the medication has been successful or not. I would recommend that you perform a pregnancy test 2-3 weeks after taking the emergency contraceptive and the result will be accurate.
