Hello dear
Understand your concern
Always there is chance of pregnancy in unprotected sex. So for safer side better to use ECP (I pill) after sexual intercourse.
You can use it up to 72 hour after sexual intercourse. But better to use as early as possible as it is very effective (95 % effective if taken with in 24 hours) in preventing in the pregnancy.
So take ECP to prevent the pregnancy. If you have vomiting after taking pill then take another dose.
It can cause withdrawal bleeding and delayed in the period due to high progesterone in the I pill.
So do no be worry if period will delay by 5-7 days from your normal expected period date.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
