Brief Answer:
Not really necessary

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
I can understand your concern.
Just on the other side of it:
Is your period regular?
When ( which date) is the next period expected ( to calculate your safe period) ?
If you were in the safe period, there may not have been necessary to take the i pill.

** Well, to answer your query: There is no need , in fact you should not take another pill at all as you have taken within 2 hours of unprotected sex.

Just relax, do not worry.
Try having protected sex next time.

Brief Answer:
NOT necessary to take another i pill

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your feedback.

It is good that you took the pill and then had sex within 2 hours. It is still going to work. So you ''do not'' have to take another pill.

Anyway, if you are going to have periods on 12 th this month, you are already in the ''safe period'' if you had the sex yesterday or so.

So do not worry ,
