yeah, bungloshlung and yoko are right, the morning after pill is supposed to work 72 hours BUT, I think the sooner you take it, the more effective it will be.
but seeing as you've had sex for a whole week now, I'm be worried about the possiblity of the already being pregnant within those first 4 days and what those huge doses of hormones in the morning after pill could do to the fetus if you DO take it.
I find that different doctors, depending on the research or their specialties will have different things to say about the pill or the morning-after pill though.
for example, some doctors will say that being on bcp's has no effect on fertility, whereas some doctors may have read up on other research that may say otherwise (I don't even know if there is enough research on long-term use out there anyway).
I guess you could say I'm skeptical about what doctors have to say and prefer to do my own research or ask from a wide variety of sources..
but as of now, I guess the doctor is the only one who can really help you...
