Can Pregnancy Happen Despite Taking An Emergency Pill?

Hello..dr I need to ask if you do unprotected intercourse in your fertility period but you take the emergency pills after that, is there still a chance of getting pregnant? One more thing, do the home remedies protect against pregnancy? Eating papaya or some specific herbs? Do they contribute in any way along with some other protection?

Hello dear and thank you for using HCM. Emergency pill has a very high effectiveness and the chance of being pregnant after taking it is very low. There are not confirmed any home remedies to be used as contraceptive ways. Best regards.
