Why has there been no bleeding after taking Unwanted 72?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I had a protected sex with my wife 10 days ago. In order to delay her periods, she consumed one tablet of Primolut N the same day before having sex. By mistake, I touched her vagina after touching my penis. To avoid any risk of pregnancy, she consumed Unwanted 72 within eight hours of having sex. It has been more than 10 days she has neither bled after consuming Unwanted 72 nor has she had her periods until now. What are the chances of pregnancy? It has already been 12 days. Is it possible to test for pregnancy now? If yes, kindly mention the name of the test and any precautionary measures to be taken before going through the test.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It is not necessary that there should be withdrawal bleeding after taking Unwanted 72 (Levonorgestrel). They are high dose hormonal pills which may cause delayed periods too. If your spouse has skipped her expected periods, she can check her urine pregnancy test with early morning urine sample to be sure if she is pregnant or not.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

As it has been just 12 days, will the urine test be reliable?

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

If the periods are overdue, then the urine test will detect or else she can get a blood test for beta hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) levels.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

She had her last period 5 days before our unprotected act and she had i-pill after 15 days. Her due is 5th of this month. Is her period overdue? Is it getting delayed due to having sex?

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Kindly mention the value of the beta hCG level or send me the result as an attachment copy. Alternatively, you can perform home urine pregnancy test once the periods are skipped to find out if the patient is pregnant or not. Kindly forward the attachment so that I can interpret and tell you the possibility.
