Hello! On the market today circulating emergency contraceptive pills 1 and 2 pills; Emergency contraceptive pills classified by time use (emergency birth control pills 72 hours, emergency contraceptive pills 120 hours). The next time you have sex during the effectiveness of the pill, the risk of pregnancy will be less. Having sex after taking the emergency contraceptive pill and using a contraceptive device will have a higher chance of preventing pregnancy.
For the problem of having sex during the red light day, it depends on the time of ovulation of each woman. Usually, women who have regular menstrual cycles from 26 to 32 days, ovulation is day 8-19. However, there are also people who ovulate on the day of the red light. Therefore, when having sex on a red light day, there is still a possibility of pregnancy.
