Hi. My husband and I had a protected sex on my 5th day of the period.usually my period gets over on 4th day. Bt during intercourse his condom leaked.i had ipill on 6th day within 12hrs. On d same day we had intercourse again and same thing happened. I don t take any contraceptive pill regularly as we are just now married so do I need to take d ipill again or the last ipill will work? Plz suggest something as I am too worried.
Hello, Thanks for sharing your health concern with us. Firstly, you did not need the emergency contraceptive pill as you were in the safe period during the intercourse. Ovulation occurs two weeks prior to the onset of the next period and this is when an unprotected intercourse may lead to pregnancy. The emergency contraceptive pill has a half-life of about 5 days. This is sufficient to cover both the sexual acts. You do not need another pill. As the pill contains high dose of hormone, you may see some with Chat Doctor.  Please go for regular contraception if you wish to delay pregnancy. Hope this helps.
