Is It Safe To Take Levonelle Twice During One Cycle?

Hi there,
I've taken Levonelle one step as emergency contraception due to condom failure three days ago. But unfortunately the same problem happened last night. I've heard that levonelle cannot be taken twice in one cycle. What is the next best option for emergency contraception?

Hello user.Sex during fertile period only can cause pregnancy.So better to know weather you had sex during fertile or infertile period.Because no need to take any contraceptive if you had sex on infertile period.and emergency contraceptive should be used in emergency not as routine contraceptive.For next cycle start ocpills after consulting your gynecologist.wait for your period or you can take emergency contraceptive after consulting your gynecologist.
Thanks.
