Hi doctor,
My girlfriend and I had unprotected sex a week before her period cycle, and for protection, Tablet Unwanted 72 was taken within 24 hours. She was expecting her periods today, but she is not on her periods yet, and also she has lower back pain, stomach ache, and white discharge more than usual. Should we worry, or is it normal?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
If she has taken Tablet Unwanted 72 (levonorgestrel-1.5 mg), it usually causes bleeding within two to three days after taking it, which is the period date. The next period might get delayed due to the Hormonal Tablet. If she did not get bleeding after taking the Tablet, then it is a cause of concern.
White discharge is normal if there is no itching or foul smell.

Hi doctor,
Thank you for the reply.
What precautions should we take to avoid her pregnancy now?
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
There is nothing you can do now to prevent it. Just get a urine pregnancy test done. If positive, you will have to manage it accordingly.

Hi doctor,
Thank you for the reply.
As I mentioned earlier, She got her periods once, but now, for another month cycle, she is late by one week and has brown discharge.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
You need to consider the date of taking the Tablet Unwanted 72 as the date for the following periods in the coming month. Also, sometimes after taking the pill, periods can be delayed.
If you have doubts, you can do a urine pregnancy test.
