Emergency contraception
Hi
A friend of mine is taking emergency contraception for the 3rd time in 3 weeks (i.e. 8 aug, 14 Aug and 1 Sept). All happened due to a burst condom. . Is this acceptable?I'm worried becasue this might affect her health. My friend is 36 years old and has no kids

It is likely to upset her cycle and will not protect against pregnancy if taken so frequently.
