Thank you for your question.
No you need not repeat the ipill. It should cover you for up to 7 days. It does however depend on the time of your cycle. Please discuss your contraceptive needs with your gynaecologist. If you have repeated exposure with unprotected sex you are exposing yourself to more than just a risk of unwanted pregnancy, majorly a risk of acquiring several sexually transmitted infections some of which are not curable and have lifetime consequences . Besides, emergency contraception is just that - emergency contraception. If you need it more than twice in any cycle you need something more reliable which your gynaecologist can help you with.
Hope this helps
