No, it is not necessary to take the emergency contraceptive pill (ecp) again within such a short timeframe. Unwanted 72 is an emergency contraceptive pill that contains levonorgestrel, which is a hormone that can prevent pregnancy by inhibiting ovulation, fertilization, or implantation of a fertilized egg in the uterus. Taking the pill twice within such a short period is not recommended and can lead to hormonal imbalances and other potential side effects.

If you take the pill within 72 hours after you've had unprotected sex, levonorgestrel can reduce the risk of pregnancy by up to 87% if taken as directed. If you take plan b one-step within 24 hours, it is much more effective.

Mid cycle spotting can occur while taking OC pills. There is no reason to worry. Wait for your periods for now and see how it goes. I noticed that you weigh very less for your height and age. You may like to consume a nutritious diet as being underweight also leads to menstrual problems.
