Had Unprotected Sex. On Norgest, I Pill. Is That Right?

Hi, we have 10 months old baby, and on 6th Apr'13, i had unprotected sex with my wife, but don't want another baby right now. I have consult with gyno & she recommended NORGEST for that. My wife also do not have periods since our child's birth. Is it right to take NORGEST to avoid pregnancy?? or should she take i-pill as it is still within 72 hours.
Please suggest.

hi,
thanks for query.
In my opinion you should go for I-pill for unprotected sex,because it contain only progesteron which is safe in breast feeding mother.
Norgest is not safe in breast feeding mother.
Take i-pill as early as possible.
If period not come go to OBGYN,breastfeeding also suppress menstruation.
take care.
