Is it safe to take the I-pill to prevent pregnancy after having unprotected sex, and what other options do I have?

Asked by Female, 28 · 10 days ago

Yes, the I-pill (containing levonorgestrel) is safe and highly effective when taken as soon as possible, ideally within 72 hours of unprotected sex. It works primarily by delaying ovulation. Other options include ulipristal acetate, another oral emergency contraceptive effective up to 120 hours, or having a copper intrauterine device (IUD) inserted by a healthcare professional within 5 days, which is the most effective method. Please consult a doctor to guide you on the best choice for your body and discuss regular contraception.
