Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I had sex after which I took an Unwanted-72 tablet. I got spotting or withdrawal bleeding after that. But now, my period has been delayed for the past two months. My pregnancy test also came back negative. What to do?

Please help.

Answered by Dr. Rajesh Jain

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understood your concern.

There is no chance of pregnancy as intercourse was during safe days and Unwanted-72 (emergency contraceptive pill) had already been taken. Do not worry. The delay in periods may be due to some hormonal disturbance due to stress or other factors. I suggest you take a tablet of Primolut-N (Norethisterone) once daily for five days. Periods will occur within a few days of stopping Primolut-N.

Kindly consult a specialist doctor, talk with them, and take medicines with their consent.

Hope it helps.

Thanks and regards.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
