Mifepristone and misoprostol are typically used for medical abortions, but these medications should only be given under the supervision of a licensed gynaecologist after a scan has confirmed the length and location of the pregnancy. It might be risky to use abortion pills without a doctor's advice, particularly if the pregnancy is ectopic or progressed. Bleeding, cramping, nausea, and weakness are typical side effects. For safe treatment and follow-up, you should consult a gynaecologist or go to a certified clinic as soon as you can. If you experience severe abdominal discomfort, fever, dizziness, fainting, or extremely heavy bleeding, get medical help right once.

Yes, you can take the i-pill (levonorgestrel) again if you have had another instance of unprotected sex. It remains safe to use, though taking it multiple times in one month can temporarily disrupt your menstrual cycle, leading to irregular spotting or a delayed period. While it is safe for emergencies, please remember it is not as effective as regular, daily birth control. I highly recommend discussing reliable, ongoing contraceptive options with your doctor to give you better peace of mind moving forward.

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.

Taking the i-pill (levonorgestrel) introduces a high dose of hormones into your body, which very commonly causes temporary changes to your menstrual cycle. A delayed period and light brown spotting are typical side effects of this medication rather than definitive signs of pregnancy. However, to give you complete peace of mind, I recommend taking a home pregnancy test. It is most reliable when taken 14 to 21 days after the intercourse in question, these cycle fluctuations are very common.

The i-pill contains levonorgestrel, a hormone that temporarily alters your cycle to prevent pregnancy. This sudden hormonal shift often causes 'withdrawal bleeding' about a week after taking it, which can seem like a period. Additionally, breastfeeding naturally affects your hormone levels, making your cycle more unpredictable. This is generally normal and expected. However, if the bleeding becomes very heavy, lasts more than a few days, or causes severe pain, please reach out to your healthcare provider for reassurance.
