My last period started on 4 April, and I have missed my period this month. I had intercourse on the last day of my previous period. Today is 12 May, and my period still has not started. Can I take an i-Pill now?

Have a query?

It is not advisable to take an i-Pill (Levonorgestrel 1.5 mg) now, as it is meant to be taken within 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected intercourse to prevent pregnancy. Since your intercourse was on the last day of your previous period (April 4), and today is May 12, it is well beyond the effective window for emergency contraception.
Missing your period this month despite having intercourse during your last period's end could indicate pregnancy or another cause of delayed menstruation. Emergency contraception will not be effective or appropriate at this stage.
Seek immediate consultation if you experience any unusual pelvic pain, heavy bleeding, or symptoms such as severe nausea or dizziness. Otherwise, book an appointment with a gynecologist for further assessment.
If you want, I can explain pregnancy testing options or other contraceptive methods in more detail.
