Brief Answer:
Use regular method of contraception.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.
You should use regular method of contraception because frequent use of I-pill is not advisable.
I-pill contains high doses of hormone in it ,so it may cause menstrual irregularities.
The I-pill is only protect you from sex which you had before intake of I-pill.
It will not give any protection from sex done after intake of I-pill.
As you don't want to use condom and interested in sex after taking I-pill than you must use regular method of contraception.
Hope found useful, feel free to ask more information.
Good luck.
