Is Pregnancy Possible Despite Taking An I-Pill After Unprotected Intercourse?
I and my wife had unprotected sex yesterday night and she took iPill just after the sex. Today in the morning we used protection but somehow the condom broke and now we don t know that whether my wifey is at risk of getting pregnant ? Will the iPill s effect continue ? Should she take another iPill ?

Hi, Thanks for asking. I understand your concern. I pill covers unprotected sex when taken within 72 hours of sex. You don't have risk of getting conception from the first sex. I pill acts by postponing ovulation by 6-8 days / preventing implantation of fertilized ovum in uterus... so even your second act next day would be protected. Please don't worry. She need not take another pill..... the next period would be 8-10 days late. Thanks.
