Brief Answer:
Take I-pill or Unwanted 72.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
After having sex to avoid the pregnancy it is best to take an emergency contraceptive like I-pill or unwanted 72 hours as soon as possible. This will protect you against pregnancy in 97% cases if taken within 24 hours after having sex.
A single dose will not affect the breast feeding or the baby but can cause mild irregular bleeding. Do use a regular contraceptive like Multiload or Freedom 5 after discussing with your gynecologist.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
