Emergency contraceptive pills (like levonorgestrel or ulipristal acetate) can sometimes fail if ovulation has already occurred before taking the pill, if there is a higher body mass index, or if vomiting occurred shortly after ingestion. If a pregnancy does occur, safe medical options are available. A medical abortion using a combination of mifepristone and misoprostol is highly effective in the early weeks of pregnancy. I warmly encourage consulting a healthcare provider or a family planning clinic.

Yes, you can take the i-pill (levonorgestrel) again if you have had another instance of unprotected sex. It remains safe to use, though taking it multiple times in one month can temporarily disrupt your menstrual cycle, leading to irregular spotting or a delayed period. While it is safe for emergencies, please remember it is not as effective as regular, daily birth control. I highly recommend discussing reliable, ongoing contraceptive options with your doctor to give you better peace of mind moving forward.

Yes, both a delayed period and increased anxiety can definitely be side effects of the i-pill (levonorgestrel). This emergency contraceptive contains a high dose of hormones that can temporarily disrupt your natural cycle and affect your mood. However, because your period is four days late, there is also a possibility of pregnancy. To give you peace of mind, I gently recommend taking a home pregnancy test. It is simple, highly accurate at this stage.

But please do not take an abortion pill. Since your pregnancy test is negative, an abortion pill is unnecessary and unsafe. The i-pill (emergency contraception) contains hormones that frequently cause your period to be delayed or irregular. Since your period is 15 days late, I recommend taking another pregnancy test using your first morning urine to confirm the result, or visiting a doctor for a simple blood test. It is very common for emergency contraception to disrupt your cycle temporarily, Please consult a healthcare professional to help safely regulate your cycle.

Yes, it is generally recommended to consider another dose of emergency contraception, such as levonorgestrel, if you have another episode of unprotected intercourse after taking the first pill. Emergency contraceptive pills work by delaying ovulation to prevent pregnancy from the initial event, but they do not provide ongoing protection for subsequent encounters. To ensure you are fully protected, please consult a healthcare professional or pharmacist as soon as possible to discuss the best next steps for your specific situation.

Your risk of pregnancy is very low. Having unprotected intercourse on the final day of your period is generally outside your fertile window, and taking emergency contraception further reduces this risk. The irregular bleeding you are experiencing one week later is a very common, normal side effect of the hormone in the emergency contraceptive pill and is not a sign of a serious issue. It simply means the medication is working. To give yourself peace of mind, I recommend taking a home pregnancy test in two to three weeks.
