Have a query?

If my girlfriend took an i-pill after we had sex, and we had sex again six hours after she took it, will that single pill still protect her from pregnancy?

Asked by Male, 22 · 8 days ago

The i-pill (levonorgestrel) is designed to prevent pregnancy only from sex that occurred before taking the medication. It does not offer ongoing protection for subsequent intercourse, even six hours later. Because of this, there is still a risk of pregnancy from the second act. I gently recommend reaching out to a healthcare professional or gynecologist to discuss the safest options, as taking another emergency pill can cause hormonal imbalances. Please reassure her, and consider discussing regular contraception methods for the future.
