Doctor, my boyfriend and I had intercourse using a condom, and as far as we know it did not break or tear. However, I am feeling nervous because I was around my fertile period at the time. Just to be safe and avoid pregnancy, can I take an i-pill even if the condom seemed intact?
If the condom was used correctly and did not break or slip, it already provides strong protection against pregnancy, even during fertile days, so taking an I pill is not necessary, as emergency contraception is meant for situations where protection fails or sex is unprotected, and using it unnecessarily only exposes you to extra hormones without added benefit, so based on what you described, the risk of pregnancy is very low. However, if you still feel anxious, you can consult a gynaecologist for reassurance.
