  1. Timing and Effectiveness:

    • The I pill is most effective when taken within 12 hours of unprotected sex, but can work up to 72 hours.
  2. Menstrual Changes:

    • Your period may be earlier or later. A delay of more than a week suggests taking a pregnancy test.
  3. Symptoms to Watch:

    • Side effects like nausea or spotting are normal and don’t indicate failure.
  4. Pregnancy Test:

    • If your period is over a week late, take a pregnancy test for confirmation.
  5. Consult a Healthcare Provider:

    • If concerned or experiencing unusual symptoms, consult a doctor for advice.

Note: The I pill is a backup method, not for regular use. Consider discussing regular contraceptive options with your healthcare provider.
