Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic!
I have carefully gone through your query, and I think I have understood your concern. I will try to address your medical concerns and would suggest you the best of the available treatment options.

1. First of all do not panic.

2. As you may be aware that in a woman with regular cycles, day 10 to 20 is the most fertile period of the cycle. If you happen to have unprotected sex activity in this period, then only you need to use emergency contraceptive pill like i pill or unwanted 72, that too within 24 to 72 hours of unprotected sex act.

3. So there is no point in taking it repeatedly after each sex act in the same cycle. Also, if you have got your next periods after that episode,you need not worry.

4. In future when you want to conceive -
I will suggest indulging in a healthy diet and regular exercise regime.
Include plenty of fruits, salads, vegetables in the diet.
Have adequate water intake , say 8 – 10 glasses per day.
Avoid deep fried foods, bakery products, and refined sugars.
Avoid substance abuse, if any.
Start on FOLIC ACID, B12 supplements at least 3 months before you plan to have baby.

I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
Wish you great health.
