Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
In my opinion, you should use i-pill or e-pill (emergency contraceptive pill) within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse to prevent pregnancy. I would also like to advise you to use regularly one of the following birth control measures as per your convenience:
- oral pills
- intradermal birth control patches
- injectable contraceptives
- condom (used by your partner)
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Suraj Khandhedia
