Hi, Anon.

Thanks for your question.

Emergency contraception only works to prevent pregnancy from sex you already had. It won’t work proactively — you need to take emergency contraception after every act of unprotected sex. But it's supposed to be used in emergencies and not as regular birth control. Contact your gynecologist.
