Hello dear,
I understand your concern.
In my opinion the emergency contraception can be taken in cases of slippage or rupture of condom.

There is scope for pregnancy when semen is ejaculated inside or around the vagina during the fertile period.

If the intercourse was done in fertile period then Ipill can be taken.

In order to be effective it should be taken within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse.

If taken within above said stipulated time the Ipill is 95% effective.

But Ipill is restricted to real emergency situations but not for regular use.

Ipill causes hormonal imbalance leading to change in timing and bleeding of period.

So the next period can come early or delayed and the bleeding can be heavy or scanty or irregular.

Hope this helps.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
