No. Do not take another dose. Emergency contraceptives are intended for emergency use, such as the condom breaks. They are not designed to be used as a regular form of birth control.
If you do not want to become pregnant, please have your partner wear a condom and you must use some type of birth control, such as pill, patch, IUD or injection.
An emergency contraceptive prevents pregnancy by preventing ovulation or the monthly release of a mature egg from an ovary.
Since your next period is due around May 6, ovulation happened around April 20, so there was little risk for becoming pregnant during intercourse on April 30 and May 2.
Your period may start earlier or later than expected as a side effect of the pill.
