I'm really concerned about the number of times I've taken the i-pill. I've noticed my period flow has become less frequent since I started using it, and I'm worried if this could affect my chances of having a healthy pregnancy in the future. Could taking the i-pill so often cause any long-term issues?

Taking I-pills (emergency contraceptive pills) multiple times does not significantly impact future pregnancy chances, but frequent use can lead to menstrual irregularities, including infrequent or lighter periods; however, fertility typically returns to normal after stopping I-pill use, and most women can conceive within a year of stopping, but consult a gynecologist for personalized advice on managing menstrual irregularities and optimizing reproductive health.
