Taking an emergency contraceptive pill at 17 years 7 months old should not harm you. It is generally safe for use in adolescents. However, it is important to use it as directed. Taking the pill at the 50th hour after unprotected sex may reduce its effectiveness, but it can still work to prevent pregnancy. The general side effects of emergency contraceptive pills may include nausea, vomiting, fatigue, headache, breast tenderness, and changes in menstrual bleeding patterns. Your period may be delayed or earlier than usual after taking the pill. It is common for the menstrual cycle to be temporarily disrupted after using emergency contraception. To prevent any potential harm or unwanted side effects, it is important to use emergency contraceptive pills correctly and consider regular contraception methods for future protection.
