Hello Anon

Thank you for writing!

If a woman doesn't take birth control properly (only 50%) then there of course is some risk of it not working. If it has been less than 5 days, she can take it again but it will not be as effective. We can't give a percentage of what her risk will be, other than higher than the usual 5%.
Best,
Susan
