The morning after pill has to be taken within 72 hours of having sex.
And just so you have more info, here's information taken from the www.morningafterpill.org
Emergency contraception (also known as the morning-after pill) is a high dosage of the birth control pill. It is recommended to be used after sexual intercourse, over a period of 72 hours, to achieve the goal of preventing or ending pregnancy. There are three different ways birth control pills are currently being promoted for this use: progesterone alone, estrogen alone, or both of these artificial steroids together.
If conception did occur then the fertilized egg will be rejected by the body or will die. This is called a chemical abortion.
Side effects of using the pill:
# nausea
# vomiting
# infertility
# breast tenderness
# ectopic pregnancy-can be life threatening
# blood clot formation
Emergency contraception also offers no protection against sexually transmitted diseases including AIDS.
There are no long term studies to show whether women will be permanently damaged, or risk such diseases as cancer, from these chemicals being given in such high doses.
