Hello doctor,
I am 36 years old and had unprotected sex with my husband on 18th at night. Although he pulled out we are suspecting pregnancy as there can be 1 % chance of ejaculation. I had my last period on the 7th and usually, I get my periods one to three days before the expected time. I took Unwanted 72 on the 21st afternoon. But after taking it, I was feeling stomach and back pain in the lower region along with cramps. Though I am not feeling any other symptoms of pregnancy like nausea, vomiting etc, which I even did not have during my first pregnancy except stomach pain like periods. Will Unwanted 72 will be effective in my case? Can it stop fertilization/implantation? Am I pregnant or is it a side effect of the emergency pill? I am still feeling pain but it is less now. When can I expect my next period or when should I go for pregnancy kit test? I am already having a kid of 2 years and do not want a second one. In case I am pregnant, please guide me how to get it aborted.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
In your case, the unprotected intercourse took place at a very fertile time and the delayed intake of Unwanted 72 might render the pill useless. It is highly possible that you still might get pregnant despite the pill. However, the symptoms of back pain and stomach cramps are usually expected after taking the pill. So these symptoms are unlikely due to pregnancy and more likely due to the pill as pregnancy symptoms develop usually around five to six weeks of pregnancy. Expect your next periods to be a little delayed than usual and may look abnormal as well, like blackish in color. If your periods get delayed by over a week then take a pregnancy test and check. If positive, let me know and then we can discuss further. All the best.
