Taking two doses of levonorgestrel (i-pill and Unwanted 72) within 48 hours does not increase contraceptive failure risk, though repeated doses cause hormonal fluctuations. Your next period may be early, late by a week, or lighter/heavier than usual. If it is delayed by more than a week, please take a home pregnancy test for peace of mind. To care for yourself now, get plenty of rest, stay hydrated, and use a heating pad for cramps. For the future, we can explore reliable regular birth control options.
