Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through your history and understand your concerns. As you had unprotected sex and wanted to discontinue the pregnancy, you can take I-pill (Levonorgestrel) for the same after consulting your specialist doctor. You can take one tablet of I-pill 1.5 mg as early as possible (maximum within 72 hours). Only one tablet is required in your case, menstrual irregularities are the side effects of the pill.

Hope this helps.

Thank you.
