What You Need to Know SCI IVF Hospital - Where Life begins September 21, 2024 VISIT PROFILE The i-Pill, commonly known as an emergency contraceptive pill, is widely used to prevent Archive pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. Many women are concerned about Labels whether frequent use of the i-Pill could negatively affect their long-term fertility. What Is the i-Pill? The i-Pill is a type of emergency contraception that contains a high dose of levonorgestrel, a synthetic hormone that helps prevent pregnancy. It is most effective when taken within 72 hours after unprotected sex. The pill works primarily by delaying ovulation, preventing sperm from fertilizing an egg, or preventing a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus. Can the i-Pill Cause Infertility? The short answer is no. The i-Pill does not cause long-term infertility. Its purpose is to prevent pregnancy in the short term and has no lasting impact on a woman's ability to conceive in the future. Emergency contraception is designed for occasional use and does not alter the reproductive system permanently. How Does the i-Pill Affect the Body? When taken, the i-Pill introduces a higher dose of hormones into the body, disrupting the normal menstrual cycle to prevent pregnancy. While this may temporarily alter the timing of your period, the effects are short-lived and do not have a long-term impact on fertility. Some common side effects of the i-Pill include: Nausea Fatigue Headache Spotting between periods Delayed or early menstruation These side effects are usually temporary and should not affect your ability to conceive once the effects of the pill wear off.
