  5. Hey, so we had sex early Sunday morning and my girlfriend took an ipill that night. Then we ended up having unprotected sex again on Tuesday. I'm just wondering if the ipill will still work for the second time or does she need to take another pill?

The effectiveness of emergency contraceptive pills like i-pill decreases if taken multiple times in a short period. It is recommended to not rely on i-pill as a regular form of contraception. For the recent unprotected sex on Tuesday, your girlfriend can consider taking another emergency contraceptive pill like Unwanted 72 within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse to reduce the risk of pregnancy.
