It’s time to discuss something crucial we’ve been avoiding. You’re probably familiar with it; many of us might have as well used it before. Whether it was a night of unexpected passionate love-making or a slip-up in our regular birth control routine, this has been a savior for us, the night (or day). But what about the long-term effects? Does it affect future pregnancy? Let’s discuss this.
Oh, yeah!! You might’ve already guessed what we are talking about.
Let’s talk about i-Pill.
With a high dose of hormones, usually levonorgestrel, i-Pill works wonders by preventing ovulation. Have it within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse, and you can significantly reduce the chances of pregnancy, with a success rate of up to 95%. However, it is not meant to be used as regular birth control and should only be taken during emergencies.

Let’s get to the big question – does the i-pill affect future pregnancy?
The short answer is no; it does not. Studies have shown that the i-pill has no long-term effects on fertility or future pregnancies.
That being said, it’s crucial to note that the i-pill is not 100% effective and should not be relied upon as a regular form of birth control. It is also not effective in preventing sexually transmitted infections. So, while it may be a lifesaver in emergency situations, it should not be used as a substitute for regular birth control methods.
Beware of the side effects!!
Remember that taking the i-pill frequently can lead to hormonal imbalances and irregular periods. This is because the excess hormones can interfere with the body’s natural hormonal regulation. If you find yourself relying on the i-pill frequently, it may be time to consider a more reliable form of birth control.
The cue here is to use it responsibly and not as a regular form of birth control. If you take the i-pill frequently, it’s time to consider other, more reliable birth control options with fewer side effects.
Key takeaway
The i-pill can be a lifesaver in emergency situations, but it should not be relied upon as a regular form of birth control. While it does not affect your future pregnancy, frequent use can lead to hormonal imbalances and irregular periods. As always, it is essential to talk to your healthcare provider about your birth control options and choose the one that is right for you.
