Hello dear
Understand your concern
Yes better to take I pill as early as possible with in 72 hour after unprotected sexual intercourse. It contain high dose of levonogestrol /progesterone hormone. It prevent the ovulation and inhibit the implantation/fertilization.
As it contain high dose of progesterone, it affect the normal menstrual cycle.
If you had take
1. Before Ovulation: high dose of progesterone induce the withdrawal bleeding. In 50 percent women bleeding will occur in 5-7 days after using pill.
2. After ovulation: if prolong the leutal phase of cycle and lead to delayed period by 4-6 days.
So by I pill cause temporary disruption of menstrual cycle.
Other side effects are: nausea, breast tenderness, dizziness, headche, abdominal pain and tiredness.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
