The emergency contraceptive or morning after pill should be taken within 24 to 72 hours after having unprotected sex or if your method of contraception fails. During this time, even if the egg has been fertilised by the sperm, it is one single cell or a cluster of some cells which is too small to even be detected. This pill is basically a hormone that dissolves this single or cluster of cells without causing pain or bleeding.
