Hello Sneha and welcome,

I understand the issue.

As of now as you have already taken the pills we cannot undo it. But apart from causing irregular periods this must not be an issue to worry about.

I must inform you that I pill is an emergency contraception that is used only during accidental emergency intercourse that is unprotected. It is effective only once in one cycle and repeated use will not provide protection against pregnancy as there is no data to support this type of use.

So please remember this during future use of I pill and do not worry.

Hope this satisfies your query.
Thanks for using HCM.
