I'm just wondering, how soon into a pregnancy can someone take the abortion pill to end it? Are there any risks if it's taken really early? I'm a bit confused about the safe timing for this option and would love some clarity.

I'm 23 and I've taken the ipill three times this year. I'm worried about whether I should consult a doctor about it. Could there be severe side effects from using it so often? How often is it safe to use the ipill?

I-pills are emergency contraceptive pills and there is no problem in taking 3 pills in a year.

How many days after period is safe?

The fertile days may last for up to 3-5 days after the end of your period. The chances of getting pregnant just after the period depend on how short the menstrual cycle is and how long the period lasts. If periods are long, women may only have a few days left after the period ends before fertile days begin.
