HelloTHanks for writing to us with your health concern. It is not recommended to take ECP so frequently. When taken so often, the loose efficacy, and the side effects just add up. You have taken the pills well enough (as you said you used to cover up for the missed pills. )If you feel you have been highly irregular with the pills, take a repeat ECP. However, be prepared for side effects. Your normal periods will get messed up. Day 12 is high risk in terms of the possibility of ovulation. SO just for once, you can take the ECP.In the future, make sure you have protected sex, or are on birth control. All the best. Take care.
