Brief Answer:
Not necessary..

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing..
I understand your concern..

Have you taken meprate to get periods or to prolong the cycle? If you are not on the fertile period, I think you need not to take i pill. Fertile period is 8-18th day in a 28 day cycle..

There is no harm in taking i pill if you are very much anxious. The side effect associated with it is menstrual irregularity which include inter menstrual spotting and delayed periods. This will last only for a month or two.

Hope I have answered your query. feel free to ask any doubts.. Good day..

Brief Answer:
Yes

Hi,

Since it is for getting periods and your periods are irregular, the exact date of ovulation is not known. So you can take i pil to be on safer side within 72 hrs..

Hope doctor has done a pregnancy test prior to giving meprate. If not get a pregnancy test now.

Hope I have answered your query.. Good day
