Brief Answer:
Hello, welcome to ask a doctor services.
Detailed Answer:
Hello, welcome to ask a doctor services. I have read your question.
I can understand your concern. You have been forgetting to take your regular contraceptive pills. Regular contraceptive pills should be taken as instructed on the leaflet or as advised by your health care provider.
Since you had unprotected sex, you should take I-pill today within 72 hours of unprotected sex for the best efficacy of the medicine.
Stay away from addictions if any like alcohol, smoking or drugs as they may reduce the efficacy of the i-pill.
I-pill is a one time emergency contraceptive pill to be taken in emergency. If you are not planning for a baby, you should be on regular contraceptive pills.
Don't worry, you will be fine. Take the medicine in time (within 72 hours of unprotected sex). Do not stress. Stay at rest and keep yourself adequately hydrated.
Hope I have answered your question, take care.
