Thank you for your question
Emergency contraception has to be taken within 24 hours of unprotected intercourse. There is no indication for a second dose within 7 days of the first dose even if another episode of unprotected intercourse occurs. It can be repeated within a cycle more than once.
Next Steps
if your period is delayed by over 7 days do a pregnancy test. if you are needing to use emergency contraception several times it may be better to get advice About using regular reliable contraception such as the oral contraceptive pill or an intrauterine deviCe in addition to using condoms.
