Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Femiplan is a combined contraceptive pill which is to be used regularly every month for its best efficiency.In your case it doesn't work as you are not doing regularly.So I would suggest you to use condoms for contraception and if you are not happy with using them then you can use Postinor-1 emergency contraception pill 2 doses taken 12 hours apart within 72 hours of intercourse.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
