You don't need to repeat the emergency pill again so soon, taking it twice in quick succession doesn't add protection and can disturb your cycle further.
Next Steps
Watch for your next period, and if it's delayed by more than a week, take a home pregnancy test.
Health Tips
Emergency contraception isn't meant for regular use, so please use a consistent barrier method going forward.
