yes there is still a small chance of failure Emergency contraception like unwanted 72 is not as effective as some form of regular contraception like combined pills or IUCD'S or Depo injections. Hence if you do miss your next periods it is important to get a Urine pregnancy test done. Taking I-pills very frequently can cause irregular periods.

Hi, you took the emergency pills within 5 hours after having sex, so not to worry, it will protect you from getting pregnant. Yes, it will delay your menses as it's made up of hormones.
