Some questions about the morning after pill?

Question

Here are a few questions that I have about the morning after pill that I could not find on when I searched for answers myself:
1: If you take it 72 hours after sex it is effective in preventing pregnancy after intercourse. Is this still true if you have sex say, 2 or 3 times within 72 hours?
2: How long should a woman wait before taking the pill a second time? Is it alright to take it 3-4 times within a span of 2 weeks?
3: What is the percentage of pregnancies if the man uses a condom (no breaks in condom) and spermicide and the woman takes the MAP?
Maybe I should say what are the chances of pregnancy happening if all of those precautions were taken?
4: Is the MAP necessary when a condom is used and they have sex when there is no ovulation... just to be safe?
Then I was also wondering what the percentages of women getting pregnant are when the man uses a condom and spermicide is used as well. 

Thank you for your answers!

1. Yes.
2. You can take it as often as needed.
3. The percentage of pregnancies if the man uses a condon is about 3% if used correctly and the morning after pill is about 89% effective, no one really knows how effective spermicides are. So the chance of getting pregnant is very very slim, almost none, when using the two together along with a spermicide.
4. The MAP isn't necessary if the condom didn't break or slip of and if it was worn the whole time.

Well, if you are using a condom and spermicide, and both are used properly and the condom does not break, you should be fine. I have done some research on this subject in the past too and I have read in several places that you can take the morning after pill up to five days after intercourse. I wouldn't recommend taking the pill more than once in such a short time considering it is just a really high dose of birth control. Just take it at least within the time limit and after the last time you have sex.

wow all i can say is if you are this worried about having a baby then maybe you should not be having sex.
just get on a birth control pill then you dont have to worry about the MAP

well... you aren't suppose to use MAP as a regular form of birth control... it screws up your menstrual cycle. Here's a site that could answer your questions:
