Emergency Contraception after 72hrs?
| Thu, 07-29-2004 - 2:33pm |
I was wondering if you could get the morning after pill after it has already been over 72 hours since intercourse and if it is effective at all? By the time I'm at the clinic tomorrow it will be at least 90-100 hours, so is it worth taking the pills? any advice is appreciated.

EC is less effective after 72 hours but is still somewhat effective for up to 5 days. If I were you I would think it worth a try. Look at the EC site at: http://ec.princeton.edu/ for more information. Let us know how you're doing, ok?
Hugs,
