Emergency Contraceptive Use
I took an emergency contraceptive pill (I-Pill) on 11th April and I haven't gotten my period since (despite of 3 negative pregnancy tests.) Recently, I've been having what I feel are pre-menstrual cramps, but I recently had unprotected sex again.
Should I take another I-Pill seeing that I'm likely to get a period soon, or should I not risk it?
What factors should I keep in mind while making this decision?

You had your last sexual intercourse on 11 April and you took emergency contraception after that. You didn't have your periods since then.
You recently had unprotected intercourse again "recently".
Since you took i pill about 45 days ago , it is of no use today.
You should take i pill again.
If you don't get your periods by another 2 weeks then you do urine pregnancy test and consult with a Gynaecologist on Practo with the report.
