Is There Any Side Effects For Taking I-pill?

hi,doctor. I took ipill three time in my life. First in dec,2011, second time in january 23,2014 and last time in 27th april,2014. First two times there are doubts about his coming inside me but last time is sure that he came inside me and I took ipill within 30 minutes. After that, is there any chance of pregnancy for the last time? Have I any risk, any side effect or any complication for my future pregnancy? And how many times taking ipill will be harmful for future pregnancy??

iPill contains levonorgestrel. It is to be used as emergency contraceptive only. Frequent use is not desirable as it has high failure rate and also can lead to unpredictable changes in menstraul cycles. This again is not desirable for future pregancies.
If you have had periods after the last time you had taken the pill, then pregnancy risk will be nil after that.
I would recommend regular contraceptive pills over emergency contraceptive pills for regular contraception.
I hope the above information helps you. Thanks.
