Hi.
I've gone through your query and I can understand your anxiety.
Emergency contraceptive pills are preferably taken within 12 hours or no longer than 72 hours ( within 3days of unprotected intercourse).
So if the gap between the 2 acts are not within 3days, it's better to go ahead with one more pill.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care

Dr. Yogapriya V, General and family physician.
