How Much Gap Is Required Between Taking Two Ipills?
My wife had her periods on 31st July and it ended on 3rd Aug. We had protected sex on wed, after which she took an i-pill on Thursday morning 3am. We had an unprotected sex on Friday afternoon at 3pm. Should she take an i-pill again? Or after what time she can take? She has regular periods with around 25 days cycle.

Hello dear.
Understand your concerns.
I pill taken on the thursday does not protect against the unprotected sex done on the friday.
If you do not want to become pregnant then take I pill again as early as possible after second sexual intercourse.
But make sure, avoid frequent use of the I pill in future as it cause high chance of hormonal imbalance, menstrual irregularity, and infertility problem.
Use barrier contraceptive in future to prevent the unwanted pregnancy.
I hope this will help you.
Thanks
