Will taking the i-pill 12 hours after unprotected sex prevent pregnancy?

Asked by Female, 19 · 12 days ago

Yes, taking the i-pill (levonorgestrel) 12 hours after unprotected sex is highly effective at preventing pregnancy. Emergency contraceptive pills work best the sooner they are taken, ideally within 72 hours. Since you are taking it so early, its effectiveness is very high. You might experience some mild side effects like nausea or slight changes in your next period, which is completely normal.
