16-17 hours is within time limits. Of course, the sooner the better but it is still within time limits. Emergency contraception is not as effective as routine birth control. It has anywhere from 80% to 95% chance of preventing pregnancy. Routine birth control like birth control pills, is about 98-99.9% effective.
