I'm a bit worried and need some advice. My partner and I had sex, and about 12 hours later, I took an Unwanted 72 pill. But then we had sex again just an hour after I took the pill. Is there a chance I could be pregnant, or should I be considering taking another pill?

Since you took the pill within 12 hours of the first intercourse, it should still be effective. However, it is not recommended to rely on emergency contraception as a regular form of birth control. If you are concerned about pregnancy, you can consider taking another dose of unwanted72 within 72 hours of the second intercourse for added protection. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the packaging.
