The i-pill is strictly for emergencies and should not be used as regular birth control. While there is no absolute numerical limit per year, it is safest to use it as sparingly as possible. Taking it frequently (such as multiple times a month or year) is not harmful in a life-threatening way, but it will cause significant hormonal imbalances, severe menstrual irregularities, and unpleasant side effects like nausea or headaches. Furthermore, the i-pill is less effective than regular contraceptives like condoms or daily pills. If you find yourself needing it often, please consult a healthcare provider to find a reliable, long-term contraceptive method.
