Hello doctor,
I had sex with my fiancee on 21st and as a precaution, I gave her Unwanted 72 on 23rd. She got little bleeding which was thick on 4th and it continued till 8th. Now, she was expecting period again on the 4th this month, but it did not come, and therefore she took a pregnancy test on 7th and that was negative. When will she get her periods? Is there any problem?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
As you have taken the emergency pill within 72 hours of intercourse there is no chance of pregnancy. Also, you say that you had withdrawal bleeding after taking the pill. So, relax and do not worry. The delay could be because of hormonal changes due to the pill you have taken. She should be getting her periods within a week or so. If you have a doubt, then get yourself checked by a gynecologist and get a pelvic scan done to rule out the exact cause.
Take care.

Hello doctor,
Thank you for the reply,
Is any medicine available that would make my periods come?
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
You can take Primolut N (Norethisterone) 5 mg twice a day for five days and within 10 to 12 days, you will be getting your periods.
Take care.
