Unprotected Sex. I-pill Taken Previous Day. Can I Take It Again?

Hello,
My partner done unprotected sex with me on 25.5.2013. For that I have taken I-pill (Emergency Contraceptive Pill) on 26.5.2013 (Afternoon). But in the next day night i.e on 27.5.2013 my partner ejaculated again because of condom torn. The first day of my last menstrual period was 12.5.2013. So please suggest me what do i do? Shall I take I-pill again or not to avoid pregnancy?

Hi,
Taking an emergency pill too soon is not advisable. Since you have already taken one, there could be possible hormonal imbalance enough to provide protection. If you have 28-30 day cycles, you are in the fertile period. As of now, you should wait for your next period and if you do not get it even after 10 days from when it is due, you should consult a specialist for further management. Take care.
