Is it safe to take two I-pills within a period of ten days?

Hi doctor,

My fiancee was undergoing her menstrual cycle between 30th of last month till the third of this month. We had an unprotected intercourse during that time, and she did not take any contraceptives. Two weeks later, on the 16th of this month, we had unprotected sex again. This time she took an I-pill. We again had an unprotected intercourse between 23rd to 24th of this month. Due to fear, she had another I-pill on 24th of this month. I request you to address the following queries:

1. Was it necessary for her to take an I-pill on 24th of this month despite taking it on 17th of the same month?

2. Do you advise that she should have received an I-pill post intercourse on the third of this month when she just finished her menstrual cycle?

3. She experienced light spotting on the 23rd of this month. Could these be the symptoms of the upcoming menstrual cycle (due by 30th of this month)?

We will appreciate your answers. Thank you.

I had my last period a month back. I had unprotected sex six days later. I did not take any pills also. Now, my period is late by 16 days. Last week when we had sex, I took a pill. Is there any chance for pregnancy?

Condom broke while having sex. Can I take an I-pill to prevent pregnancy?

Hello doctor,

I had an I-pill nine months ago and I got my periods some two days later. Currently, three days before, while having an intercourse, my husband's condom broke. Can I take an I-pill now to avoid pregnancy? Can I take this now? Are there any side effects? I want to know about a daily contraception pill. Is it harmful? Of note, I had a medical abortion 10 months ago.

I had very light spotting on my second I-pill and not a proper bleed. Am I pregnant?

Hello doctor,

My last period was on the 10th of last month. I had unprotected intercourse on the 19th and for precaution, I took I-pill within 24 hours. As a result, I got withdrawal bleeding on the 25th. Four days later (29th), we again had unprotected intercourse. I took another I-pill on the 30th within 24 hours of intercourse. As a result, I should have had withdrawal bleeding, but I experienced very light spotting equal to nothing. Is it withdrawal bleeding? Am I pregnant? When will I get my next periods?
