Is it still effective to take emergency contraception after staying in the same room for more than 60 hours?

Patient's question:

What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? The harm is relatively small. Is it still effective to take emergency contraception pills more than 60 hours after intercourse?

Doctor's answer:

Emergency contraception pills should be taken within 48 hours. Since you took it 60 hours ago, it's still uncertain whether it will be effective. I suggest you buy a pregnancy test kit and test for two or three days in a row to see if you are pregnant. In fact, in general, practicing any form of contraception can cause certain harm to women. Therefore, patients should pay attention to nursing and health care. Contraceptive users should take care of themselves, such as paying attention to keeping warm and avoiding cold water.
