Can I use emergency contraception several times during the same menstrual cycle?
[TOP] Yes, if necessary. However, remember that the multiplication of unprotected acts of intercourse increase the risk of unintented pregnancy even if you use emergency contraception each time. After having taken an emergency contraceptive pill, you should use a barrier contraceptive method (condom, spermicide, cap, diaphragm) for each act of intercourse until the next menstrual period. You should then ask your doctor, your health care provider, or a family planning center in order about starting a regular contraceptive method suitable for you.
