Do I need to take another emergency contraceptive pill after unprotected sex on May 1 if I took Unwanted 72 on April 29? - #54695

You took Unwanted-72 (levonorgestrel) on 29 April. It mainly protects for intercourse before or within 24 hours of taking it. Sex again on 1 May is a new risk, so What to do now If it has been within 72 hours of 1 May, you should take another emergency pill. If >72 hours but <120 hours, a different option like ulipristal (if available) or Copper-T insertion is more effective. Expect period delay/irregular bleeding this cycle. Do a urine pregnancy test after 3 weeks from the last intercourse. Avoid repeated use of emergency pills; use a regular contraceptive method going forward.
