Brief Answer:
You should take another dose of I-pill.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
You should take another pill with in 72 hrs. of intercourse( second).
I- pill is only effective for one time unprotected sex.
If you had another unprotected sex after taking I- pill then you should repeat the dose of I-pill.
The chances of pregnancy are very high because you had sex in your unsafe period.
So to avoid pregnancy you should again take I-pill.
But in future please use regular method of contraception.
Frequent use of I-pill is not recommended.

Good luck.
