I forgot to take my first two days of contraceptive pills (Sunday, May 20th and Monday, May 21st). I took 2 pills the following days, 2 on May 22nd and 2 on May 23rd. I had unprotected sex last night around 11 pm on Sunday, May 27th. Should I take the morning-after pill?

Yes, if you have missed taking your contraceptive pills and had unprotected sex, it is recommended to take the emergency contraceptive pill within 72 hours of the risky sexual encounter. It is best to consult a pharmacist for further guidance on what to do next.
