Hi..Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...

As you took emergency pill ( I Pill) within 2 hours of unprotected sex then chances of pregnancy is very less. so no need to worry about pregnancy at this stage. Emergency contraceptive pill does not allow pregnancy to continue so chances of pregnancy are not there. Also you were taking birth control pill before that, so there is no chance of pregnancy.

As per your second query, you should not take 2nd I pill, as single tablet before 72 hours is sufficient. My advice is that you take oral contraceptive pill daily to prevent pregnancy rather then taking emergency pill, which is better for your health.

hope this information is helpful to you.
