Posted on Thu, 2 May 2013
Question: Hi, I had unprotected sex yesterday afternoon and took the morning after pill, next choice, about half an hour after that but had sex again that same night, a few hours after taking the pill. Will I get pregnant? Do I need to take another pill?

Hello
Multiple doses of the emergency pill dont work in the same cycle. Using it once should be adequate. Dont take the emergency pill multiple times,there will be menstrual irregularities and difficulty to concieve in the future. Try to use a regular form of contraception like oc pills,Cu T etc.

Yes,ideally you should get withdrawal bleeding with a week or two. If you miss your period,take test immediately.
