Do I need to take another I-pill if I had unprotected sex again the day after taking the first one?

Asked by Female, 27 · 5 days ago

Yes, you will need to take another emergency contraceptive pill (like the I-pill, which contains levonorgestrel). The first pill only protects you from intercourse that occurred before you took it; it does not prevent pregnancy from subsequent unprotected sex, even the next day. Please take the second dose as soon as possible, ideally within 72 hours of the second event. Keep in mind this might temporarily alter your menstrual cycle. For regular, highly effective protection, I recommend discussing ongoing contraceptive options with your doctor.
