Unprotected sex, and ovulation

Question

Asked for Female, 18 Years

I’m an 18 year old girl, I do not take any contraceptives and had unprotected sex last night without internal ejaculation (withdrawal) I have an app that predicted that yesterday I was ovulating. Should I take the morning after pill to ensure I do not get pregnant or is there anything else I can do to ensure I do not get pregnant?

Yes, you can take the morning after pill. It would be better to use both barrier (condom) and hormonal methods (oral pills) to minimise pregnancy chances in future acts of intercourse
