Can ipill be used during periods?

It is not advisable to use iPill during periods as it may decrease its effectiveness. This is because the iPill works by delaying ovulation, which does not occur during menstruation. Taking the iPill during periods may decrease the chances of preventing pregnancy significantly. Additionally, the iPill may interfere with the normal shedding of the uterine lining during menstruation, leading to abnormal bleeding patterns or prolonged bleeding.

It is important to note that the iPill is most effective when taken within 72 hours (3 days) of unprotected intercourse. If you have unprotected intercourse during your period and wish to prevent pregnancy, it is recommended to use alternative emergency contraceptive methods, such as copper IUD insertion within 5 days of intercourse.

Always consult with a healthcare professional or pharmacist before taking any emergency contraceptive pills to ensure the most appropriate and effective method for your situation.
