Taking the I-pill one day before having sex is unlikely to effectively prevent pregnancy because it is designed to be taken after unprotected sex, ideally within 12 hours and no later than 72 hours (3 days).

🩺 How I-pill Works

The I-pill contains levonorgestrel, which works mainly by preventing or delaying ovulation (the release of an egg). It may also prevent fertilization or implantation if taken soon after unprotected intercourse. However, taking it before sex does not reliably prevent ovulation or fertilization.

🏥 What You Should Do Next

• Use a reliable contraceptive method regularly to prevent pregnancy.
• If you had unprotected sex after taking the I-pill, consider taking another dose within 72 hours after intercourse for emergency contraception.
• Consult a gynecologist or reproductive health specialist for personalized advice and to discuss ongoing contraception options.

⚠️ When to Seek Medical Advice

• If you experience severe side effects like persistent vomiting or abdominal pain.
• If your next period is delayed by more than a week, get a pregnancy test and consult your doctor.

Always consult a gynecologist for accurate guidance on emergency contraception and pregnancy prevention.
