Hello,
I have gone through your query and understood the concern. You can have several sexual encounters during the period of pill coverage. Though the protection offered for each sexual encounter decreases with increasing time interval, the drug has been shown to be retained in the body with a half-life of 5-7 days. This means an earlier encounter may cause conception while the later one is protected. Instead, I would suggest going for regular contraception. Also, the high hormone content in the emergency pills makes them unsuitable for regular use. Their use can be down only once or twice per year. Hope you find this information useful. Take care.
