Question
Started (12/14/06) Thursday before weekend. Had unprotected sex during the (12-15 through 17th-06) weekend. Is there a chance that I may be pregnant and can I take the morning after pill after five days and it be effective? And am I most fertile then or when?
The morning after pill is called "morning after" because that is when it is used; not five days after. To learn about when you are fertile look at this web site http://www.irh.org/ and try to make an appointment with a local natural family planning teacher.
