hello,
i can understand your concern.
morning after pill if taken frequently would lead to menstrual irregularities, bloated abdomen,inter menstrual bleeding and in some cases ectopic pregnancy also. these are only a few side effects.
you can take the second pill, but do not make a habit of taking it every few days.
if you are regularly having intercourse i would suggest usage of combined oral contraceptive pills. this offers better protection and fewer side effects.
hope i have answered your concern.
feel free to ask further queries.
thanks for choosing HCM
