Posted on Mon, 3 Nov 2014

Question: Hi i am 24 years old.. From part one week i have been taking tablets to delay my periods.. But 2 days back i had unprotected sex with my husband and took i-pill after 2 hours of unprotected sex.. Will i-pill work while i am taking tablets to delay my periods?

Brief Answer:
Yes, I-pill will work.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

Actually, while you are taking Norethisterone pill to delay your period, you don't need any kind of emergency pill (like I-Pill) to prevent unwanted pregnancy as you are already SAFE due to an-ovulation.

If you have already taken I-pill within 2 hrs of unprotected sex 2 days back, you will get additional protection. You don't need to be worried.

Hope, it helps for your information. Kindly, close the discussion if you don't have any other query.

Wish your good health and practice safe sex in future.

Regards,
Dr Soumen
