My friend (yes, it is actually my friend, not me) had sex on tuesday night. Her partner wore a condom, but halfway through he took it off. He didn't come, but I'm still worried that there may be a possibility that she might become pregnant. Would the morning after pill still be effective if she took it tomorrow (Monday) morning? She is not on birth control.
yes... she is an adult...
Thank you... that was what i needed to know. (No morning after pill boxes.. hence no instructions :P, I was just wondering if they put the within 72 hour thing up on the internet just to guard themselves, but alas, no.) I really do appreciate your answers :).
 
The pill works for up to 72 hours (three days) after sex.
But the earlier you take it, the better: the 'morning-after pill' works best if taken within 12 hours of unprotected sex.
 
No. You have 72 hours to take it, and even that is not a guarantee. If the sperm already met up with the egg the pill will do nothing.
