Anytime you have unprotected sex/ method failure, there is the risk of pregnancy. However, that
risk can be higher or lower depending on where you’re at within your menstrual cycle.
Emergency contraception, when taken with 24 to 72 hours after unprotected intercourse is about 75 to 80%
effective a preventing pregnancy. You should have a period within 2-3 weeks after taking the ECP. If you do not, and
your next period is more than 1 week late, do a pregnancy test.
As of several years ago, companies stopped making condoms with spermicide. Studies involving sex industry workers revealed that
condoms with spermicide increased the risk of acquiring HIV through sexual intercourse. Vaginal spermicide creams, gels, and film are still available and are
very safe to use.
