Patient's Query
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.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Yes, you have to take it as you do not have any other option. It will harm your body if you take it so frequently. Your hormonal milieu is disturbed. Regarding side effects, you may experience bloating, heaviness, and stomach upset. For regular contraceptive pill, you need to tell me your last regular period.

Thank you doctor,
I had a medical abortion exactly 11 months ago.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
You can take the i-pill (emergency contraceptive pill) now. Wait for your periods to come and I suggest you take contraceptive pills from the second day of periods. You need to avoid unprotected intercourse until then. OCPs (oral contraceptive pills) are a good option if you are not having any other disease. Side effects of it may be little and weight gain, but you need not miss tablets. It has to be taken very regularly. If you are married and having kids then can go for a copper-T.
