Hi
GREETINGS
It depends on what day of your period you had intercourse.. if your periods are regular, then ovulation happens around 14 to 15 days prior to expected date.
so if you had sex on ovulation period , it is better to take i pill again.
I pill should not be taken frequently. High dose progesterone. only in emergency situations.
Hope my answer helps you.
