Should I get her a pill?
My wife has taken contraceptive pill( ie unwanted-72) 2 days ago due to condom breakage and today we had unprotected sex, do she need to take the pill again or the pill taken 2 days back will wor? Also is it ok to take pills often.
Her last period date was 17th December. Please suggest whether we should go for the pill or not.
We want to avoid pregnancy if possible without any major complications.

No there is a high chance that the pill may not work if taken twice in the same cycle.
It will delay her menses and cause anxiety.
Use other modes of contraception if condoms are not working for you.
Please consult.
