Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I had unprotected sex 15 days after my last menstrual period and took Unwanted 72 after seven hours. Till now did not experience any bleeding. What are the chances of pregnancy and when should I conduct a pregnancy test?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

As you have taken Unwanted 72 within seven hours there are no chances of pregnancy. This pill does not always result in withdrawal bleeding but can as well delay the periods depending upon which phase the pill has been taken that is the first phase (estrogenic phase) of the menstrual cycle or second progesterone phase. Wait till your period date or even later as they may get delayed for about two weeks and maximum. There is no need to do a urine pregnancy test in between if they get delayed by two weeks. Later you can do if no periods after that.

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