Hello,
Thanks for posting your query. With an intercourse soon after a menstrual period in a regular 28-30 day cycle, there is no need for emergency contraception. This is because the week before and the week after the period is safe as ovulation occurs two weeks prior to the onset of the next period. In future, I would suggest use of regular contraception if you wish to avoid pregnancy. Use of emergency pill should be restricted to one or two occasions per year since the high hormone content creates hormone imbalances and can affect future fertility. Hope this helps.
