Welcome to EmpowHER. The thick white sticky cream substance was semen, which contains sperm. You had unprotected vaginal sexual intercourse and there was a risk for pregnancy, especially if you were ovulating. Generally, ovulation occurs about 14 days following the last day of your recent period. You are fertile five days before ovulation and on the day of ovulation.
An emergency contraceptive is effective if taken within 72 hours following unprotected intercourse.
I hope this information is helpful to you in making the decision of whether or not to take an emergency contraceptive.
