Doctor, I got my period on 28th April and the period was over on 1st May. So on the 5th of May, I had unprotected sex, and soon after that, I took an IPill. Followed next on 6th May, again I had unprotected sex. Can I take an IPill on 6th May too?
The emergency contraceptive pill (iPill) is intended for occasional use. It should be taken as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse, preferably within 24 hours and up to 72 hours. Since you already took an iPill on 5th May, taking another dose again on 6th May is generally not recommended unless specifically advised by a doctor, as repeated use within a short duration may increase the chances of side effects such as nausea, vomiting, fatigue, irregular bleeding, or changes in the menstrual cycle. Emergency contraception should not be considered a regular method of birth control. For appropriate guidance and reliable contraceptive options, it is advisable to consult a gynaecologist who can assess your situation and recommend a safer long-term contraceptive plan suited to your needs.
