Birth control pills are effective even before sex
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear
welcome to health care magic
I can understand your concern.
in my opinion the emergency contraceptive pill can be taken just before sex also.
it will offer 90% protection from pregnacy.
it will be as effective as taken after sex.
the important point is pill to be taken with in 72 hours after sex.
I suggest you to consider following safe sex practice like condome.
