Hi, Thanks for using HCM..
I understand your concern. I pill is an emergency contraceptive pill. Single dose within 72 hrs is considered effective. The main problem with this is menstrual irregularity associated with it.. Some experiences periods early but some have a delayed periods.. It comes back to normal in a month or two.. So no need to worry about it.. It is always better to take an alternative contraceptive measure than repetative use of i pill. Hope i have answered your queries. Good day.
